Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Making Canelo-Golovkin Was Easy; Only Took Two Weeks

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LAS VEGAS Frustrated fight fans have wanted to see Canelo Alvarez fight Gennady Golovkin for well over a year. But when the time came to discuss details for making Alvarez-Golovkin a reality September 16, De La Hoya said early Sunday morning negotiations with Golovkin's promoter, Tom Loeffler, were "not tough at all." Alvarez's promoter estimated after Alvarez's 12-round domination of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. that it took about two weeks to negotiate a deal for the highly anticipated middleweight title bout between Mexico's Alvarez (49-1-1, 34 KOs) and Kazakhstan's Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs).

I guess my theory of two more fights for GGG is holding up. If he beats Canelo(which I think is the likely outcome), he'll fight Saunders (or that other guy) and retire as undisputed middleweight champ.

Just seems like it's lining up perfectly for this outcome. I thought he might be able to squeeze BJS in early, but either way, it's two fights and he's done.

there were some demented posters who thought GGG was ducking Canelo.


I hope they have sought treatment.

I highly doubt GGG will want to call it quits after only 2 more fights. He seems like he enjoys fighting and he's making really good money now. If he beats Canelo, his stock and his finances get a huge boost. A win in September will make him the biggest name in boxing.

You mean to say ggg wasn't ducking? But you guys said he was so how could this be possible?

Props to GGG for finally stepping up

[NEETzsche]

Everyone always says Tom Loeffler is incredibly easy to deal with

[The Time]

2 weeks? Lol

More like since November 21st 2015

Which ironically was Canelo's last legitimate PPV and not the garbage of Khan, Smith and zombie walking punching bag Chavez Jr.

Should've been made for September of last year, but Amen. It's finally made. So enjoy the build up folks. Best year in boxing in a long, long time.
