Why did Canelo duck GGG for so long?

Maxi, I try to be kind to you because you're not a very clever guy but when you become a little ankle biter, you have to be put in your place. 90% of what you just ranted about has nothing to do with what I said. I said that they compromised to get the fight, esp considering that Sanchez was initially barking about 50/50. That didn't last long and Loeffler admitted that they were willing to flex just to get the fight made.
"...there would be concessions on our side to make the fight. Just to get the fight." Tom L.
Now *** off you joke of a fanboy.

You said the fight was made on Óscar terms. Óscar terms = flat fee.

So it wasnt Made because Golovkin "finally" accepted oscar terms.

Do you understand or am I talking to a 6 yo kid?

What's wrong with his last two fights?

He went back and forth with Jacobs who is a solid boxer and knocked out a good but undersized Kell Brook.

Many had him losing to Jacobs. He's clearly slipping. Seems like another calculated risk from Canelo to me.

Bullsht. He isn't clearly slipping he is just fighting better competition. Jacobs is a solid boxer and he arguably beat GGG so that MUST mean GGG is slipping and out of prime right? It couldn't possibly mean that GGG is just another average boxer?

The timing of this is comical, GGG is out of prime and slipping just before his hardest fight to date, anything to take credit from Canelo.

Sure he is 35 but that doesn't matter when you consider he only has 30+ fights all in the same weight class, was never hurt in the ring and only went the distance one time.. he isn't slipping he just isn't very good.

Why did Canelo drop a belt and wait for him to look like **** before he fought him? If Canelo wins he gets partial credit from me.

Cuz he's a fat pu55y

Regardless GGG is still prime and he's probably going to get beat down.

Redd Foxx where are you?

Was he waiting GGG to age? Interesting topic

They were in negotiations the whole time. Canelo never ducked GGG.

Even when Canelo moved down to 154 and said he was no middleweight?

The answer to this should be obvious to anyone other than the most ardent Canelo fans (my Mexican gf being one of them). Saul Alvarez was ready and willing (even draining himself) to fight Floyd at 23 and lost almost every single round. At 25, on the other hand, he knew GGG would sleep his ass and end his career as a PPV star.

As a result, Canelo has waited until what he believes is the "right time" to face Gennady (when the latter is 35 and coming off the first 12 round decision fight of his career after 20+ KOs). Unfortunately for Canelo, all this side-stepping is going to backfire in hilarious fashion, and the excuse will be that Canelo is not acclimated to the middleweight division (when he refuses to exercise the rematch clause after being TKO/KO'd) because he is in his prime now and GGG is obviously not. Not that it will matter.
