Mexican superstar Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez (47-1-1, 33KOs) is strongly committed to his comments on facing Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin (35-0, 32KOs) in the future. The World Boxing Council ordered Canelo and Golovkin to fight each other earlier this year. At the time, Canelo was the WBC middleweight champion.

Canelo: I Know I Can Beat Golovkin, He's Just Another Fight!


... Of course: He's just another fight in 2-3-4 years from now, right?

Canyello just keeps embarrassing himself more an more.
He talk **** than ran from Golovkin like a little school girl and the whole world saw it.
Lost all respect for this clown.
Man walks around at 180 between fights and by the time hes in the ring he hydrates back to 170.
Give me a break. Hes scared and everyone knows it and sees it.

[Madison Boxing]

well there would have been one quite obvious way of proving this...

[LADIV]

Why won't you fight him then?
Why did you vacate?
Why did you went down in weight to fight a much smaller opponent?

To many why's isn't it.

ggg said the same thing that he can beat canelo..but didnt wind up fighting canelo...why couldnt ggg drop 5 pounds and the fight would have happened intead ggg is fighting a guy that is coming up 13lbs to fight him...too many WHY'S on both sides

[Simurgh]

I think we should do the same thing that GGG did - forget about Canelo for time being..

No point in wasting the energy for the fighter that obviously won't come nowhere near ring unless GGG slows down significantly.

There are other fighters out there for Gennady. DeGale is the one I want to see..

[SnakeVen0m]

Then fight him! He's a bigger draw than Smith or Hoe Saunders.

Mind-boggling that a fighter can run from a fight like the ginger did and still talk ****. That was as shameless a duck as boxing is capable of.

Just shut up, you fraud. If you wanted to fight Golovkin, you wouldn't have dropped your belt and run so quickly.

Bs. For one, they never officially offered 155, when they went into negotiations Canelo said 160.

Two, that would would feature six 160 pound titles---WBA, WBC, IBF, IBO, ring mag, and the lineal.

Why should Canelo get the chance to basically unify the entire MW division at one pound above JRMW? That's asinine and everyone knew it, including Canelo and GBP, it's why they did not come out and say it was the weight stopping the fight.

Canelo is nothing special. The rules of boxing predate him. The division's predate him. He's a clown who is too heavy to make 154 easily, but too scared to fight a real MW.

Im guessing you either didnt see the Canelo-Khan fight or just want to gloss over the part where Canelo calls GGG into the ring and says I'll fight you right now at 160. Also, what part of one 160 lb champ vs another 160 champ includes 155? What division limit is 155? Frankly 155 is just a way of avoiding Golovkin at 160, and simultaneously avoiding guys like Charlo and Andrade at 154. 155..pfft.

To answer your second question, Canelo and his BS are a big part of why Golovkin accepted the Brook fight. Canelo wasted about a month of what could have been negotiations leading Golovkin, and the boxing public, on with his false bravado. Add to that, that Eubank got 90% into a deal then became difficult and now we have a tight situation with deadlines approaching. A fight had to be made quickly and it was, thankfully. A big reason Golovkin is fighting Brook is because of Canelo
