Comments Thread For: Canelo Likely Heading Up To Middleweight Next, Says WBO Prez

[MantisToboggan]

If Canelo is going to fight at 160, then why did he drop his belt at 160?

Because he is a coward and not man enough to step into a ring with GGG.

[Rigpig]

Does that mean he's going back up to 155 lmao

[nycsmooth]

& who would be the pretenders to fight this fraud and I'm certain GGG is not in the rankings...

[Synbad]

They will have to drag him kicking and screaming to the ring before he fights GGG so why even report he is moving back to Middle Weight?

[CoachMac34]

Let's be honest here, Canelo can dodge ggg by comfortably fighting at 168. The guy walks around at about 185-190 anyway. GBP keeps saying they want ggg but for some reason they want offer 60/40 or 65/35 (their favor) to make the fight.......go figure.

It's not difficult to work out...

How does Canelo get a belt again at Middleweight? Fight the weakest Middleweight.

Who is the weakest Middleweight? BJS.

Which governing body is BJS champion with? WBO.

How can you get a number 1 ranking with the WBO at Middleweight? Bully the WBO Jr. Middleweight out of a belt and then claim to be moving up.



This guy is the biggest joke out there. Claims he's not a Middleweight and then comes in at over 180 on fight night.

Spent his whole career bullying people into catchweights and then rehydrating to bully them in the ring.

This is one red-headed kid that deserves to be bullied...

...and GGG is just the man to hand it to him (if Canelo would only stop running).

I entirely agree with most of what you posted except for one thing, Canelo has never got in the ring @180+ where did you get that from?

[batista84]

At 160 Canelo has no weight advantage like it was in his last several fights.

I don't think he will fight against top boxers like BJS, Eubank jr, Jacobs. He will fight someone with bad footwork and who has no power(like Liam Smith). I expect loser Rosado!

Believe me if Canelo fights Rosado he will infuriate the boxing world, he ain't doint that no way.

about the other thing, I think he won't have a weight advantage but it won't matter, in fact I think if he dehydrates less he will be a better fighter at the full 160. JMHO.

Well this thing work exacty both ways, GGG is firm on his stand 75-25 to Jacobs, so by that logic should Canelo give 75-25 to GGG or no fight? right?.

You misunderstood. Team Ggg are not firm on 75/25, that's the standard split if it goes to purse bid, nothing new here

[Bossman15]

Im sorry but blaming his team is a pure BS move. The same way GGG should've taken the flat fee even when the management team told him to negotiate. Canelo has final say on his career, the only way this happens is if Canelo agreed with Oscars plan and went with it.

For example, now Klitschko has the opportunity to face the most dangerous youngest fighter for him, Anthony Joshua. But he is actually acknowledging the offer even when it doesn't make sense for him to.

Same with when Canelo fought Lara and when Floyd fought Canelo. Fights that didn't need to happen but happened because fighters made the move to do the fight.

Well I'm just saying what Canelo pretty much pointed out he did say he has a team so I think he knows his team is stalling on this fight when I truly think he wants it at least be fair in the negotiations but acknowlodge that Golovkin is chasing a payday because this would not be the same If this was Cotto I doubt they would be on him the same because I couldn't see Cotto winning but who knows


But with Klitchsko this is a difinening moment or a career ender for him the thing is that he never ducked dodged or ran and had a problem with facing anyone let's hope he is ready tho
