    Canelo should have offered him $10 and 160 last Sept, instead of vacating and running. We could have been talking about a rematch now.

    Weight hopping, cherry picking, PED abusing divas have ruined this once noble and honourable sport.

    nah, that's bullshht

      sounds to me like Canelo REALLY wants that fight

      in your humble opinion..... REGARDLESS AS TO WHAT YOU THINK OF THE 15MIL OFFER (please don't forget the bold when you reply, will you)..... do you agree that it is clearly obvious that Canelo is serious about wanting to fight Golovkin..... especially considering that.....
      a) Canelo just upped his offer by 50%
      a) Golovkin could EASILY call his "bluff" and take the 15mil..... keyword = EASILY

        Not sure why GBP prefer to do things that way, I guess they want full control of the promotion..... but that offer is certainly no low-ball.

        way better fighters have taken way less
        Basically they (Team GGG) would rather wait till he gets old, which plays right into GBP and Canelo hands, because of money... this is why I don't subscribe to the "No one" wants to fight us sort of thing. They are basically chasing the money first like every other boxer does. But if you call GGG out on it you get called a hater.

          Eubank should beat nelo to qualify to fight GGG.
          Losing to bjs shouldn't get you GGG. GGG don't want to be accused of beating bum.

            You ever heard of a boxer saying he isn't big enough for a division that he has fought in for 2 years?

            You ever heard of a boxer, after dropping a world title and weight division, fights his next fight above the division he said he was too small for?

            You ever heard of a champion giving away his world title, and then says he wants to fight the challenger, and dictates the terms of the fight?

            You ever heard of a bloke from kazakstan unifying the middleweight division, picking up each title individually, rather than in a single fight?

              So whats the answer to my question???
              By the way canelo is still the current jmw champion... him fighting one lb above his division was lame, but as long as you can hit the scale at 154 you are considered a jmw, and canelo just did that in his last fight..
              But dont worry there is already a 15 mill offer to fight ggg at 160 since ggg refuses to drop a single pound...

                The answer to your question is no. The reason for this being the 5 points i made.

                He fought the weakest of the 4 champs for the wbo title, which make sense as wbo is least significant (the belt floyd threw in the bin, and when koysta tyszu was undisputed he didn't hold the crappy, illegitimate wbo).

                Can u quote a good source for that 15 mil offer?
                After all, it was oscar that stipulated negotiations needed to be behind closed, then making statements public only when it suits his agenda.
                We still only have one side of the story...k2 are a bunch of nerds trying to negotiate with a bunch of bullys.

                    What i mean by source is a link, rather than taking your word for it, given i have never met you.

                    Once again though, if true, Eric Gomez is one side of the story. Wise people know there are 3 sides to every story. Their side, the other side, and the truth.

                    I prefer to work off facts, rather than speculation.
                    WE KNOW golovkin was willing to fight conela as a challenger, recieving the standard 25% or whatever it is.

                    WE KNOW conela avoided golovkin like the plague by dropping his belt.

                    What we don't know, is what is really happening in negotiations. This is speculation, which i prefer to talk less about.

                    I stick to things i know, not things i think i know.
