Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Saunders Unlikely For June, GGG To Wait For Canelo

[hitking]

Watch the GGG fanboys find a way to blame Saunders.

[kiaba360]

what if Golovkin doesn't care because he wants to break Hopkins record against easier opponents before cashing out with Alvarez???

How many defenses does GGG have left?

[icha]

If the money was there like they said (10mill) then is a bad move, forget the "all the belts fallacy ", ggg at 35 needs to take whatever he can, even if it means canelo fight not happening until may 2018... but you still get two huge paydays before retire.. but then again who knows if the money really was there... now they better pray for chavez not to make a competitive fight and for floyd not to anounce his fight for september... in the meantime i wouldnt be surprised if gbp sends one of his fighters to grab that title from bjs...

[bigdunny1]

The point I was making was that if GBP can get a deal for Saunders vs. Lemieux for early June, and Lemieux wins, it might be Canelo vs. Lemieux for the WBO middleweight title. At least the threat of that fight might make GGG accept a flat-fee!

Lemieux is plan B for Sept date if GGG prices himself out. No way Golden Boy makes Saunders vs Lemieux in June Lemieux is fighting on the May 6 PPV undercard for Canelo. 1 month is not enough time to promote and train for Saunders. And they will not make a fight between Saunders/Lemieux unless GGG fight is signed and done for Sept. Otherwise who is Canelo fighting in Sept if GGG ducks the fight? You are taking 2 of his potential opponents off the table for Sept. At this point GGG is already screwed at the negotiation table regardless LMAO

I remember us non-GGG d1ckriders saying a long time ago that this "all the belts" nonsense was just an excuse to not get that work from Ward. This dude is a joke. Only bigger jokes are the ones that have bought all his bull****.

I didn't know Lemieux was fighting on May 6. Who is he fighting?

I'd rather see GGG 100% and healthy with no excuses in September, than for him to fight Saunders in June and walk around at 80% in September. Besides, there are still no guarantees that Canelo will fight him in September. It may be Canelo who is still licking his wounds after his May showdown with Chavez Jr. Regardless, BJS was never going to get in the ring with GGG anyway. He is still ducking a rematch with Eubank Jr., and Eubank Jr. thinks he has leverage now because he holds some garbage belt at 168 that he will never defend.

Canelo had an $8.5 million lawsuit. They need this fight

Eventually... sure. But why ruin Canelo when there's still milk in the cow? If I'm Coke La Hoya I make the Lemieux and Saunders fights first. I also explore the viability of the Chavez Jr. and Cotto rematches.

yup showcase fight with Reyes to keep in busy and in line with Canelo for Sept if GGG prices himself out.

Cotto is off the table for Sept he's fighting on regular HBO in the summer. If he wins won't be ready to fight again till likely Oct/Nov. If GGG ducks your options for Sept are Chavez rematch, Lemieux, Saunders.
