Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Canelo-Golovkin Won't Take 6 Years, But Not Now

[aboutfkntime]

Making weight for one fight has little bearing on how he has conducted his business over the last 3 years. You can either say he was an overblown JMW, or you can say he was just a full blown JMW hiding at 155. Either way, Canelo has a history of being in "his own" weight divisions, rather than those established by the sport.

If Canelo makes 154 in 3 weeks, then he should be removed as the Ring MW champion, pursuant to their rules.

.... it will mean that the " knowledgeable fans " who have categorically stated that Canelo is a middleweight will be laughed at, ridiculed, and reminded that they DKSAB

De La Hoya has successfully turned one of the most popular and well liked fighters in the sport into a laughing stock and perhaps THE most reviled boxer on the planet right now. I hope he is proud of himself.

You mean like Ring magazine? Or Fight news? Or until recently, the WBC?

Who is the current MW lineal champion? Current Ring MW champion?

Is Canelo ranked at JMW?

Umm Canelo that until he fought Trout? Why be so mad that he's returning to what's natural.

The way I see it he stepped up and lost 4 times (Floyd, Trout, Lara, Cotto) I'm aware the last three are very close fights but I'm just being honest to my scores.

I mean like progressive_jedi, kafkod, that jubei idiot....

if you think that Canelo is a middleweight, then you are a tool

DLH using his Arum formula to sabotage Canelo's reputation. Kudos DLH. Just let him take the ****ing fight. Quit being and making your entire team look like a little b1tch. It's sickening.

You skipped a couple questions. Who is the Ring MW champ? Who is the lineal MW champ? Does any organization have Canelo ranked at 154?

And now you say if you think Canelo is a MW, you are a tool. Oscar De La Hoya, you are a tool. Dan Rapheal, you are a tool. People at fight news, you are tools. Until Canelo vacated, Mauricio Sulaiman was a tool. We could open a workshop with all these tools.

So what do we call a current amd former MW champ, who has fought in the MW division for 3 years now, who is talking about fighting another MW champ in December after this one off fight at 154, other than a MW? But for you, I won't say Canelo is a MW, just a MW champ.

piss off SMH

Excellent retort! lmao gtfoh,,,

Show me where GGG rejected a fight with Canelo at a lower weight. Never happened - Never offered

They are waiting for Golovkin to turn 38.

Golovkin says that if Canelo must fight at 155, then he’s welcome to go ahead and fight at that weight, but he’s going to fight at the full weight of 160lbs for the middleweight division. Golovkin will not be giving Canelo a handicap by melting down to 155lbs in order to give him the advantage, even though Golovkin says he’s been weighing in at 164 and 165 recently.
