    Now it's gotta be a contract offer for it to be real, for it to be a point of contention, huh?

    No contract means it never happened, right?

    And they wonder why folks get called "fanboy".

    Here's why there has been no fight yet.

    Canelo Alvarez says he’s learned his lesson from fighting Floyd Mayweather and won’t be giving up any more weight advantages. So if Golovkin wants to fight, he’ll have to meet him at the 155lb Canelo division.

    Sure, Saul and Co have since said 160 isn't an issue anymore.

    But this is why we couldn't get the fight back then.

    This is why we haven't seen it yet when we could be talking about the third one right now.
    Yeah he's gone up to 164.5 apparently. Skipping over 160 that he had to "grow into". Like I said $$ talks. That's why GGG shouldn't pass up $10 million in June hoping GBP is finally ready to put their cash cow vs him in September.

    Honestly, I'm sick of talking about it. It takes 2 to make a fight and I think it's one guy( more specifically his promoter) who doesn't want it and apparently you think it's the other.
    Whatever...if it happens it happens at this point. I'm not waiting around for another Mayweather-Pacquaio fight years after it should have happened. Too many good fights happening this year to dwell on these 2

      That was a year and a half ago.

      Since then, Canelo has another 154 lb belt.

      Loeffler should have advised them to lose 4 lbs. instead of posturing like they were an A-side.

      We definitely agree about the 10M in Kazakhstan.

      I hope it is real and I hope he destroy Saunders in June.

      In other words, I hope he looks like the guy we've been sold as this next ATG.

      GreyBumkin does that, maybe he has a real bargaining position for a change, instead of the fake leverage they thought could parlay into an undeserved split percentage.

          if you look at the timeline ggg had a fight against lemiuex and then had to wait until the cotto/canelo winner to see if the wbc would mandate the fight. he had alreadyd been mandatory for a year so chances were they were going to do it. wards team took advantage of these facts and that facct that a lot of ward fans are low information fans and would simply belive that any offer that was rejected automatically means its a duck. he knew they wouldnt bother to see the whole picture.

          when both guys were available and didnt have fights scheduled ward was not ready to fight.
          Ward was asking GGG to sign a contract agreeing to fight him while Golovkin was already mandatory for the WBC title, and the WBC have a rule that a mandatory challenger must have "no contractual restrictions" which may prevent him from fighting for their title when they order the defence to take place, or he loses his position as mando.

            considering he was joking about the mayweather thing id say ur answer is pretty obvious. stop trying to defend ggg he hasnt taken any kind of real risk like ward has period end of story. if u honestly think ward ducked ggg to fight kovalev ur not very smart

              So nunn gets a pass for losing to a journey man named steve little at 168 lbs but ggg is an exposed hypejob beacause he won a ud against the number 2 guy in his division? Got to love the biased fan boys. They always make me laugh.

                Why exactly would a GGG fan be a girl but a Ward fan be a manly man?

                    You are a fucing liar. The last thing in the world you want is for GGG to look great and destroys Saunders. You want GGG to get his ass kicked so bad you can taste it. If he loses a fight you will be overjoyed.
