Comments Thread For: If Canelo remains coy, Golovkin will need creativity to land big fight

[Rysandro]

Canelo moved to 152 for Floyd to make the big fight happen and Ward moved to 175 to make the Kovalev fight happen. JMM moved to WW for Floyd and Cotto moved to 160 for Sergio. Floyd moved to 154 for Oscar and Hatton moved to 147 for Floyd.

The point is - right or wrong - the A side holds all the cards. Canelo is a very exciting fighter and can do whatever he wants. He just fought a relative nobody and made a successful event out of it.

To make matters worse GGG and his team have done NOTHING to prove they want a real fight. Yes they called out a bunch of names, but they balked when Ward accepted and they demanded Floyd, Pac, and Canelo meet him at 160. GGG is a 34 year old B-side and in a few years he'll be sorry he passed up on huge paydays over a couple of pounds. If he and his team have so much confidence a couple of pounds should make no difference.

100% truth.

I don't see how anyone can read the above and not think "yep this dude nailed it"

Fight Canelo @ 156, for B-Side money

Accept the B-Side weight terms, and the B Side money for the B side that you are

Yeah I think it's time for people to move the hell on. I'm done with the fkery of boxing politics and fans making excuses about A/B side. Fans are supposed to demand fights get made, not make excuses why they should and why a guy has all the control. People seemed to have gotten hooked on the five years of shhh slinging we endured in getting Pacquiao v Mayweather made. Personally i've had my fill of bullshh.

So Floyd moving to 154 for Cotto is considered taking risk? Floyd moving to 154 for an old Dela Hoya was a risk? Cotto moved up to 160 to face a Martinez who could barely moved but refused to face a legit MW when GGG came calling. Canelo picked the weakest belt holder at 154.

already making excuses.

Those "excuses" are facts that have been "made" over 2 years ago. They haven't changed in the slightest.
Ward is still not a draw since he still hasn't fought anyone with a pulse in 2 years, and Kovalev was never a huge draw, with his best fights in Canada against Pascal.

Your job here is to demean anything Golovkin does, turn every word he says around and not understand anything that contradicts you. Somebody can beat you bloody with a fact hammer and you'd still pretend it didn't happen.

Canelo moved to 152 for Floyd to make the big fight happen and Ward moved to 175 because he could no longer make 168.

there. fixed it for you.

If this is true Canelo PPV numbers got very hurt, a Source for AP, friend Levin Rosario told me that he heard from a top cb executive that the fight Canelo vs Smith preliminary sold 290,000 PPV.

If that the final numbers, Canelo need to run to GGG sooner than later or his PPV match will low more and more

What do being a draw have to do with being in competitive fights us fans want to see? You have no problem with ggg fighting overmatch opponents, a lot of people getting tired of it that's why HBO won't put him back on ppv unless it's canelo so much for that big draw he suppose to be.. Cut the bs out they won't fight kov or Ward winner not because they not draws cause people would tune in to see fight but because they will kill all the boogeyman hype

[bigjavi973]

Ward is still not a draw

thats what they said about lara... but then picked monroe jr over lara for that same reason

NEXT EXCUSE!
