Comments Thread For: Gennady Golovkin Can't Lose (Or Else)

[Shape up]

I'm quite sure that Canelo wanted to fight GGG and he didn't want to drop his WBC belt... ODLH made that "decision"...

What makes you so sure, being the a side he could have picked his opponents, why not charlo bros, Andrade , rematch Lara, but instead he created canelo weight at 155

Sad part is that this is/will be GGG's only big fight in his career, win or lose. He definitely doesnt want ANY PARTS OF WARd. So he wont move up a weight class because then the QUACK QUACKING will be MAGNIFIED. Cause WARd would call him out to meet at 168. But other than that, he has NO MORE big fights on the horizon. Its over for GGG either way

I don't think age will play a factor just yet, but GGG only has a couple years left in him at the max.

If he wins and its not a blow-out, he's got the rematch first (big $$$ again), then the WBO belt to hunt down (personal), Jacobs rematch, Charlo, mandos.

If he loses, he might call it a day, else go for the WBC belt which might see him up against Jacobs again, or Charlo. But by then it would feel like his legacy at 160 has already been written, so what would be the point. I would expect him to take the Hagler route and retire.

Not long till GGG retires (could be as early as Saturday), we should enjoy it while he's here.

... he couldn't fight the Charlos or Lara (again) because they are Haymon's fighters (and ODLH is at war with uncle Al)... but Andrade... well, yes, he didn't fight...

And considering who he did fight, none really posed any threat what so ever, could have fought a number of fighters at 160 but was stubborn with the 155 canelo weight

... as I said above: it was ODLH's decision... poor Canelo repeatedly said he will fight GGG next...

and this is why boxers go into depression and suicide attempts after their first loss... only in boxing 1 defeat ruins your whole damn legacy. sht is pathetic. then we wonder why undefeated guys are so protective of their record. this wouldn't be the case if boxers were more active doe. fighting 2 times a year leaves a long time for a loss to marinate.

When you wait until you're 35 to fight your first real challenge you kind of put yourself in that position. Golovkin doesn't really have a legacy because he hasn't fought anyone, Canelo is his legacy.

When GGG gets mopped, he too,like Kovalev, will have to go to the drawing board and fight a bum to get back in the swing of things. GGG should be used to that though. Kovalev though I have respect for because he just fought whoever without any excuses unlike GGG.

PS. Now Kovalev may have made excuses AFTER the fight but whatever.

Next great white hope going to get exposed this weekend. Garbage article. lil g string has done nothing to deserve his fame. when Canelo was in his early 20's he fought floyd, the greatest of this generation, while triple g was fighting rosado. then triple g calls out floyd a blown up 140 pounder who was in the twilight of his career over tmz...

canelo about to ko this bum

Yeah I agree CANELO "I Was Born Ready" ALVAREZ is going to win with a Spectacular KO!

Why did he drop the belt

He was forced to, he had court, being sued along with GoldenBoy Promotions by All Star Boxing , where CANELO'S promotional rights were in the air as well as an up to $30M USD lawsuit against him. All these court proceedings taking place , and they expected CANELO to sign a fight within 15 days & have no training camp.

CANELO would have to give up the weight + half the $ + No training.

It's a no brainer , you vacate and do the fight the fair , normal , traditional way. Then go out and defeat him. Now here we are. CANELO met all of Golovqueen the Goldigging Diva's demands & now we have an Epic Fight.
