Of course he would, this is stating the obvious. Canelo body of work had earned him his PPV position since losing to TBE. He has taken on fights/fighters that he could have avoided. Fighting Trout and Lara in my book shows this guy would fight anyone, now that he earned himself the "A-side" status that is so prestigious in boxing, he can make demand of his opponents, when he wasn't the A-side he had to shut up and take fights like Lara and Trout.

Kirkland, khan, smith are canelo's B side opponents on his resume and they still better the most of the top names on GGG resume. In addition to those guys canelo has fought cotto, floyd, chavez, trout, mosley, lara all by the age of 26. GGG 35 and you still making excuses for why he can't make a big fight. SMH

Originally posted by boxingitis View PostThis is what kills Boxing, dragging fights because of Negotiations. Why isnt boxing strcuture like the UFC?
If boxing was controlled by a group of say 5 qualified persons like Judges that could decide whether an offer was reasonable and should be accepted or it should be altered in such and such way to be a fair deal for both sides.
Once that is attained have the power to enforce it or state publicly that one side does not want the fight, this could change boxing because the real guys would be fingered and the blow-hard exposed, as it stands they can come out and talk all kinds of BS to get out of making fights.Last edited by Reloaded; 04-01-2017, 12:52 AM.

But he can stay his course and history will not be kind to him and he'll be less rich when he retires.

Originally posted by bigdunny1 View PostIt's laughable his requests but his idiot fans are fooled into thinking others are ducking him. A narrative that dies the longer his career goes on and we see how he refuses to give an concessions despite not being a ppv draw.

Originally posted by Ce1ska View PostAgain, don't make it sound like he's being forced to fight Chavez. He's moving up to 164.5 because they see Chavez as an easy target that will grow the Canelo brand.
Oh please, Lemieux and Brook would whoop those three names. Cotto and Mosley were old and past their prime. Who wouldn't fight Mayweather given the opportunity? I'll give you Lara, props to him for taking a tough fight. It's easier for Canelo to get big names to fight him because of the money. Just look at what happened with Eubanks, Sanders and Jacobs last year.Last edited by bigdunny1; 04-01-2017, 01:13 AM.
