Comments Thread For: Canelo Says Golovkin Given Good Offer, Not Being Reasonable

[Canelo and GGG]

Were the titles irrelevant when Canelo paid the sanctioning fee for Cotto, to fight for the belt? Were they irrelevant when he asked WBC for an extension of his mandatory to fight Khan? Were titles irrelevant when Canelo chose Liam Smith as an opponent? Obviously, titles are relevant to Canelo. So much so, that he went and had "CA World Champ" apparel made to show how much he cares about a title

Titles are nice to have but ppl like Canelo,Floyd and Manny dont need to have them to be strong A side,he allready was MW champ .

GGG ducking Canelo? Lmao you're an idiot bruh.

Excuses Canelo has made:
1. Im not a middleweight but I can drop to 154 and go up to 164.5 but not 160 doe.
2. 160 is not a problem but I will take most of the money to fight you cause I have to pay my medical bills and Oral Surgery after the fight.
3. Trump is building a wall? (Raises arms to the heavens, clouds open and the sun shines in his face) Thank you Lord!) I won't fight in US to show support for my fellow citizens.

Turning down 5x your highest payday for a fight is a duck.

bumlovkin is a coward who only fights c level fighters and welterweights at a catch weights...how many champions has he beaten? He's fighting a former cancer patient next that says it all.

Instead of moving up challenging himself he chose to fight a welterweight..only ******s support this Kazakh fraud.

I disagree totally. Titles ate exactly what made Floyd and Manny strong A sides. Four division CHAMP....five division CHAMP. Having earned those belts, those titles, is what gave those guys recognition, and credibility. A lot of guys have fought at multiple divisions, but it's those guys that win titles that we remember.

Also, if titles are irrelevant, what exactly was the motivation for asking WBC for an extension to fight Khan (for a title)? And what was the motivation for selecting the virtually unknown, and certainly not top ranked 154, Liam Smith? He's not a big name, not one of the top 154s, so it had to be the title that made him relevant

If there's no split of the revenue with Golovkin getting the smaller share, I don't see the deal being "reasonable". Canelo shouldn't reap all the revenue in Boxing's biggest fight when GGG is a big piece of that equation.

It has to be a duck period. You cannot criticise others for wanting more money to face GGG, then turn around and back GGG for turning down his highest payday in the same breath. If you going to accuse Canelo of ducking a guy he offered 5 times what he normally would make, then you have to accuse GGG of ducking someone like Eubank too..... Yep it doesn't make sense when anyone looked at it that way.

Boxing is too corny for its own good with bull**** like this.

Promising to fight your mandatory challenger next on at 3 occasions ... then giving up your title instead is a duck.

Yes liam need title his nobody,Canelo can chalange for any title around his class with no problem,Manny was A side to Margo title,Hatton was champ ,Bradley was too ,but they get 1/3 or 1/4 of what Manny made in this fights,Manny became bigger then tittle ,he can get almost any fight he want,Same with Canelo and Floyd,Liam Smith cant thats the diffrence

He had the title for 1 fight. You can go to the past all you want, what matters now is Golovkin not accepting $15 mil, is a duck.
