You want a cookie now that the pressure from media and fans got so bad he had no other choice but to make the fight happen 2 years later?

BBB side fans throwing out excuses already just like Cotto fans once that fight was made.
Before they were saying this fight was easy work and BBB side can fight into his 40's with how he takes care of himself.
Now that the fight is signed BBB side is an old over the hill fighter and Canelo deserves no credit if he beats him.
Classic.

We all know Canelo wants this fight now because GGG looked vulnerable against Jacobs. GGG will punish him

I never thought Canelo was "ducking" as dummies say...I thought Oscar didn't want this fight made til it wasn't quite as competitive as it was 2 years ago. I think Canelo would legit fight anyone.

I think 99% of the guys we talk about would fight anyone if left to their own devices. But their basically a small business & many times they get convinced to act accordingly or trust their team so don't demand fights that would be better for their career like fans think they should cuz they trust their promoter & manager who are more skilled in the art of maximizing their income in the small window they have to earn ungodly sums of money.

He didn't fight Cotto until November 2015. The earliest it could of happened was May 2016, we're getting it September 2017. That isn't 2 years, not even a year and a half.

You don't understand boxing fans if you don't think the dummy fans won't rip on BOTH Canelo & GGG pre-, during & post-this fight loooool.

Some of you cats who continual make threads like this just don't seem to grasp that concept. Boxing is not unlike more mainstream sports in this way. Some cats just wanna see the Steelers beat the world & some cats just want the Patriots to lose every single game without scoring a point. That's how some cats enjoy sports, including boxing. They are graba$$ing their favorite guy all day or sh^tting on their least favorite guy all day.

He WAS ducking. Just because he wants the fight now doesn't mean he wasn't ducking before, or should I say his promoter

I mean this is NSB so it's not like we didn't know fools would flip flop on their stance and start making excuses for their fighter.
