Oscar shows a lack of respect for boxing traditions

Dumb thread. Canelo is the lineal champ and A-side.

It doesn't matter who the A-side is.

The man with the belts should walk in last. Out of respect.

Didn't Cotto make Martinez come in first?

Didn't Mayweather make both Cotto and Canelo walk in first even though they were the champs at 154?

That Ring magazine Ronda Rousey callback will never get old LMFAO.

And idk that these lil things promoter's do show a lack of respect. I mean one of my pet peeves is that the current guys respect old traditions so much in general. I'd personally like to see a little more innovation in boxing.

But if anything one of my problems with ODLH is that he's selectivity deciding what's ok and not okay boxing tradition-wise to fit the narrative he's pushing and/or going against GBP's competitors.

Pretty much the way I see it and the way it is.

Actually Mayweather came in first when he fought Cotto, since he was the challenger. Check the video of that fight.

Even the king of the A-sides Floyd has more respect for boxing tradition than Oscar.

Makes no difference at all, GGG will not be phased ,as Oscar is hoping, he just wants the 1st bell to ring...

[Clegg]

I thought Floyd came in second vs Ortiz despite being the challenger? I could be wrong on that, going from memory tbh.

[rickJen]

I think it's wrong that he is making Golovkin enter the ring first. The champion should always enter last, that honor should have nothing to do with popularity.

Then again this is the same guy under whose watch Ring Magazin put flavor of the month Ronda Rousey on it's cover. A female athlete from another sport.

Damed if he did the other way, damned if he didn't with these people.
You're the same people who raised hell and wanted GGG to come down to 156 for Canelo. Same people who asked GGG to accept whatever terms Oscar offered. Make up your damn minds.

Canelo is the clear A-side and deserves to call the shots. I still believe that.

But he currently has no belts and as the challenger should walk in first out of deference to boxing tradition, if Oscar really cares so much about respecting boxing.

Yeah and Hatton entered the ring first against Pacquiao

Who cares?
