Comments Thread For: Canelo Says No Guarantee, Yet, of 160 Move: Feels Good at 154

[Scipio2009]

Fighters at 154 (Al Haymon fighters excluded, because they don't fight vs GBP):

Demetrius Andrade -- height 6'1" / 185cm; reach 73'½" / 187cm
Julian Williams -- height 5'11" / 180cm; reach: 72'½" / 184cm...
Tony Harrison -- height: 6'1" / 185cm; reach: 76'½" / 194cm...

Tony Harrison is a Haymon fighter, as is Julian Williams (who is schedule for a fight with an organization that the WBO doesn't work with), and Demetrius Andrade seems to have a tentative deal directly with Showtime.

try again

the only way he fights ggg is if this PPV flops..and flops hard ..so it's up to fans if they wanna see it, don't buy this crap

Golovkin, after three years of effort, barely sold 100k PPV buys, yet that gave his camp literally zero incentive to look towards better fights.

If the Future Of Boxing is Centered around this guy then boxing is SCREWED!

He will stay at 154 and do what exactly? Not Fight The Other Top Guys At 154?

He'll defend his WBO belt, in venues in TX, Vegas, and even possibly Mexico city, against the best 154 fighters that he can get his hands on (or folks ready to fight at 154, until he's physically ready to move on); with the biggest current fight under the WBO rankings being a rematch with Miguel Cotto (WBO #3) at 154lbs.

Ironic that you skip Andrade at WBO #2 and go to Cotto at #3 because that is exactly what Canelo himself will do he will skip Andrade. Just like he moved back down to 154 and went right after the weakest Champion in that Division. Not by coincidence that is by DESIGN!

I think Canelo will fight anybody personally including GGG but I do think it is Oscar protecting the money and his ONLY STAR!

I don't think he fights GGG until 2018!

Andrade is on the verge of being a Showtime fighter; no reason to imagine that political nonsense doesn't exist.

There are only so many Liam Smiths in that division though, and people are already weary after Khan. Who would he fight next? If it's a top name then we'll leave him alone but otherwise he better be ready for more criticism about avoiding GGG.

You all should be ashamed you just want to see Canelo get hurt against this coward that really should be fighting @ 168 maybe until he kills someone like Kovalev your insatiable appetite for Canelos blood wont die! We have weight divisions for a reason.

Was Canelo ASHAMED putting Khan a Welterweight into a situation where Khan could get "hurt" or "die" using your words??!!

[Junbengreat]

Canelo is smart. He will win the 154 belt and offer ggg a fight at 154. Will Ggg dare to be great and move down to take the fight since he claims he's a small MW or will stay at 160 where the division is stagnant.

[StefanYHU]

He won a title at a catchweight of 155 (5 pounds south of what all the real middleweights fight at) against a fellow jr middleweight. Floyd won a 154 title at a catchweight of 152 and went on to defend it at 147 for 2 years! Yet nobody called him a jr middleweight. He was a welterweight who went up for a big fight but had no intentions of ever defending that title at 154 when he could still make welterweight. Only reason he didn't vacate the belt is the crooked belt organizations refused to order him to fight the mandatory. If they did he would of done what Canelo did and throw the belt in the trash rather then be forced to move up to 154.

Unless GGG wants to come down to Canelo's fighting weight he can sit and wait until Canelo moves up to 160.

Your a ****ing complete moron!!

So many things wrong with what you just said but what's the point in pointing it all out, 90% of the forum will be able to figure it out for themselves.

How many pictures of Canelo have you wanked over this week? Your clearly not a boxing fan, because boxing fans want to see good fights, your obviously happy with just seeing Canelo you ****ing poof.

[1hourRun]

Then how come Canelo had no problem putting Khan a Welterweight into a situation where Khan could get "hurt" or "die" using your words??! Did you have the same compassion for Khan being hurt like you claim Canelo could be against GGG???

I worry about Khan in any fight...regardless of weight.
