Comments Thread For: Canelo Smiles: I Ran From Golovkin? He's Fought NOBODY!

You have link??? I TRULY believe the right fighters could make open scoring AWESOME! I mean who wouldn't WANT to know where your at in a fight? Sure one guy might coast but then CUT the damn ring off!!! GO ALL-IN! Or go HOME like Trout "No Heart" did. He knew he needed a hail mary but kept running it on 1st and long...From his own 2 yard line.

What are you babbling about and how do you know what I've posted??? Oh wait... You take this forum seriously? You go out and research the posters?... That might be the saddest thing I've heard since Naseem Hamed said he would "return", but never did.


Im sure you love GGG because Steve Kim told you to. Had Canelo fought the opposition GGG has and people were anointing him the best fighter in the world, you'd be pissed.

Canelo would lose to some of the guys GGG has KO'ed. Lemieux would beat Canelo up...that's why he chose Liam Smith over Lemieux.

Dude, GayLoveKin is fighting NOBODIES! MAYBE 1 b- fighter. That's it. He's 35 fights in. 35 nobodies. At least Canelo has fought some top guys...GayLoveKin won't move up OR down to fight any top fighters. Loeffler is a liar and cannot get his stories straight.

And what good is Canelos superior resume if he gives him no confidence to step in with the bum beater? Hed rather be boxings #1 joke. And you're wrong on moving up, as usual. He'd signed to fight Chavez Jr, offered Froch 168 in the UK and agreed to fight Ward back when Hbo approached them.

You are completley right my friend, we all know both Golovkin and Canelo want each other and they both don't want either Khan or Brook, the promoters choose not the fighters

Nope. The fight wasn't even tentatively announced for Cinco de Mayo. Even from a promoter's point-of-view, not putting the biggest ppv event on the the biggest ppv holiday weekend of the year is extremely perplexing. To many Canelo critics, it seems like a tactic to cover their arses if they don't fight GGG in Sept ("timing wasn't right again?").

Thanks! Good read??? I didn't even know about they used to only have 3 ropes in the ring??? I'm not that old. I missed all the pre 90's fights.

These posts are hilarious. When will folks realize that Alvarez didn't give a crap about being middleweight champ. It was just a trinket to make money off of. To him dropping the belt was a business move to keep from overpaying Trip. Trip doesn't really care about fighting Alvarez from a pure boxing standpoint. He just wants the money and the exposure that comes from it. Thus neither guys willingness to compromise. BOTH ARE AFRAID TO COMPROMISE AND LOSE!

I'm sure it was a business move to piss off all his fans too, huh? I'm sure it was a business move to drag the Mexican warrior reputation through the mud, huh?

He's not making any sense here. Just because GGG doesn't have as good of a resume as you doesn't change the narrative that you didn't want to fight him in 2016.

And realy, if he's fought nobody and you guys seem to agree on the purse split, venue, and weight, then why not just face him?

[ИATAS]

No Ic could of sworn I seen it before??? I just can't freaking remeber which fight it was??? I think it didn't matter though because there was a KO??? I believe??

It's only happened in Texas for a title fight, I'll look it up later if you want but iirc it's because of the state laws - you'll only see it in Texas and maybe places with hardly any state athletics regulations (like Arkansas as the other poster pointed out, states like that (probably Alabama idk)), which is why we've only really seen open scoring outside of the US as the WBCs long "experiment". I'm sure besides the Canelo Trout fight you've seen it in Europe and one of Chavez jr's fights had it too (also in Texas and he was another guy for sure getting extra help from the WBC).

[victorythagr8]

Neither did trout or Lara and you fought them. They only fought nobody when they benefit your point of view. No one is buying that ****.

trout beat cotto and lara schooled the hell out of paul Williams(one of the worst robbery ) i have seen. all before they fought Canelo. add the fact that canelo beat cotto.

[casheddie]

The argument of "he hasn't fought anybody" is worse for Canelo because now it casts a spotlight on the record of Canelo's next opponent.

Smith hasn't fought in America and has no notable opponents.

If you compare GGG's next opponent versus Liam Smith, GGG made the braver move.
