Canelo blames his team for GGG fight not happening

[kafkod]

Canelo is like: "Keep me away from him!..."

Oscar ... "Leave him Saul ... just walk away ... he's not worth it ..."

Can't use that excuse when all we heard is how Alvarez demanded Trout and Lara. So which is it, he has the control to demand those fights or he doesn't?

If Alvarez wanted to fight Golovkin, the fight would be happening now.

to fight runner lara, he forced his team to get the fight done, to fight puncher ggg, well i have to work with my team......

Trout and Lara...
Let's see:

In the Trout fight they used "open scoring", right?
As about the Lara fight: they made it at 155; Lara preserved his title at 154 and took the money; therefore Canelo won a "hard fought fight" on the scoring cards.

man, this guy should just fight and stop making remarks that make him look worse, as if the "Mexicans aint *****es" thing wasnt bad enough

[hugh grant]

Nelo is even worse than eubanjk. All this talking but can't find pen

[RussB23]

Cant fully blame his team, if he REALLY wanted the fight he would tell oscar to just make it like he did with Lara. If canelo beats smith and tells ocscar he wants to fight GGG next, nothing is gonna stop the fight from happening.

It sounds reasonable and I believe him. His team raised up up from a 15 year old or maybe earlier. Of course he is going to let them make the final call on who he fights. I think Canelo is a fearless fighter even if his team is not so fearless.

Yep exactly.

He "demanded" Lara when his team said he doesn't need to go that route. So what's changed?

I wish there was some decent journalists who would ask these questions but they wouldn't dare. They won't get their press passes to the events if they ask challenging questions and demand truth.

How embarrassing is it when you have to literally spend the entire buildup of a fight having to defend and justify why you're not fighting the guy you're supposed to be fighting? Even his opponent has been trashing him for it.

No wonder boxing is looked upon as a joke in the mainstream.
