Comments Thread For: De La Hoya on Canelo-GGG: We Can't Afford To Wait Beyond 2017

When Oscar gets off that ******* for a couple hours he starts making sense again. He realizes that Canelo is losing a massive amount of fans and gets a ton of criticism for dropping the belt and lying to the fans and media.

The tickets for the Smith fight are selling badly, the PPV will be bad and they probably won't release real numbers. If Canelo doesn't face GGG in 2017 his time as the face of boxing and a superstar are over.

Rousey-Cyborg, Silva-Pierre, Silva-Jones. How did those end up?

Different weight classes. Silva fought at light heavy a few times, but he lost before the Jones fight could ever really look good.

Canelo vacated a belt to not make the biggest fight in boxing. He wants to fight at middleweight while weighing in as a superwelter.

This is the kind of **** that's been going on and letting UFC blow past it in popularity.

Silva and Jones flat out said they wouldn't fight each other.

And?

None of the matchups you mentioned were never anything more than fantasy. Canelo not fighting at his weight limit is just sad. Also, when the fantasy UFC fights weren't made, those fighters all took tough matches if they fought at all.

Sad thing is that Oscar literally continues the sad shit that killed the sport that he so vehemently criticized in the past.

Time is ticking, when Canelo doesn't face GGG in 2017 then Oscar has lost all credibility. He looked pretty bad lately anyway, everytime he gave an interview he looked totally on drugs.

WTF, canary Canelo will never fight GGG till GGG is 40 yrs old!
