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

[Shape up]

You seem like a very knowledgeable boxing fan , you didn't get fooled, by the lies, hipocracy & smoke screens , and propaganda.

Your right , CANELO always wanted the fight, while Gennady & The Golovcants put up every road block they could find.

Why did he drop the belt

Why did he drop the belt

This has been beaten to death, but its my theory that dropping the belt was a DLH screw-up, DLH talking Canelo into something he didn't want to do.

One thing I respect about Canelo is his 'I box, and focus on that 100%...other people do the other stuff' attitude. But in this case I'm betting he was all 'wtf ?' when the belt got dropped and his relationship with DLH got re-written in the aftermath, which probably played a part in this fight happening now as he probably gets a say in major decisions now vs totally delegating.

All specualtion, but it was out of character for Canelo to drop the belt, and he couldn't hide the humiliation and embarrassment he felt afterwards, and it still festers with him. Just don't believe it was his idea or that at that time he even had a say in the 'business' side (nor wanted to).

Bit more fuel for this fight......

His belt to drop, not oscars, I'm sure he knew before it happened so he must have agreed, yet he fought smith for a lot less than he would have made defending his belt, Oscar and Gomez in the end admitted they were avoiding ggg and the fight only took 2 weeks to negotiate, how can canelo not wear the blame

That's been the point of debate, just how much Canelo delegated in the decision making and went with whatever his handlers decided. Gut feel is that Canelo didn't want to play any part in the decision making (watch the final press conference to see how much Canelo enjoys being part of the talking side) and in this case got railroaded.

Anyway...water...bridge...

[Mr Objecitivity]

I suppose you are correct / right!

[MDPopescu]

Next great white hope going to get exposed this weekend. (...)

... So: is Canelo some sort of "black hope" in your book?

My gut feeling was that he was agreeable to dropping the belt, it was only in the reaction afterwards that he realised the implications from what he had done, irreversible damage

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

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

... the guy only wants big money fights (as everybody in this sport)... and Ward isn't a "big money fight" for anybody (except for Ward himself)... (as of lately, ward wanted Buglioni in the UK!)
