Comments Thread For: Golovkin: I Respect Chavez Jr. More, Canelo Gave Me His Belt!

[Canelo and GGG]

Damn GGG is mad man

[Lester Tutor]

I like how the writer left out Golovkin wanting a 50/50 split for a Canelo fight, which was in the same interview.

Golovkin is finally coming out. I think we will see the best of Golovkin yet. Little by little dude is ethering himself. Remember when Kova kept on demanding 50/50 vs Stevenson and we never got those fights..

I'm starting to think that Golovkin has been the mastermind behind it all for so long and the way Abel and Tom have been defending his "weight class" is at its end. I truly think it's frustrating for them to make ggg happy. Deep down inside ggg knows he's limited. How is it coincidence he hasn't fought elite southpaws since Ouma or Gardner... if Monroe Jr. had serious pop and a KO highlight that fight wouldn't have ever happened. Only reason Jacobs vs GGG happened was because of the stunt ggg pulled with Brook, which is why they wanted no part in that fight and imposed their new rule along with the mando for Jacobs. Jacobs vs GGG was not supposed to happen, and both fighters never wanted it, at least not now. Risky for those title defenses record

Canelo a B**** .... Hopefully Chavez Jr Knock his ****** ass up

[skinnystev]

if chavez jr was the champion Triple GGG would have to fight him for the belt he would not hand it over like the ugly little twerp canola did canola = fake mexican

Good, GGG needs to drop the good boy image and go savage on Canelo.

He needs to go the Shannon Briggs route. Go stalk Canelo at restaurants while wearing the WBC belt that he gave him, and take a bite off his taco.

He lost to the last good southpaw he fought Andre Dirrell

[Shadoww702]

So basically this just confirms that Andre Ward offer at 164 was just to drain him. What a hypocrite

[Shadoww702]

He wasn't asking for a 50-50 when Canelo was the champ. Remember it was going to a purse bid and Canelo had a sizable advantage in the split. He withdrew when the purse bid was coming up.

How many links from ESPN and other boxing sites SHOWING the split if went to bid would of been 55/45 do I need to keep posting AGAIN???

IBF, WBC, WBA, IBO middleweight champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin (36-0, 33 KOs) is hoping Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. will grab an upset victory over Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez on May 6th from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

... anyway, Oscar has a rematch clause in case of "accident"...

... and Jr ran away from TR when he had to face GGG...

[snoopy360]

Canelo dropped the title because of Golovkin getting 45%.

Lets revisit this discussion after their matches. I'm praying Jacobs beats GGG but I know its a long shot. However if the PPV numbers do surprisingly well and GGG ends up with the KO as everyone believes then it might change how Golden Boy feels in regards to negotiations if Canelo does poorly in both departments in his own match.
