Comments Thread For: Canelo: I Want Golovkin First in 2018 - No Other Fight Wanted!

[kafkod]

He's triggered but he's got a point. Canelo is at the stage in his career where he doesn't need a belt to get recognized when he's the face of boxing. He cares about the names, not the belts attached. Case and point is when he faced Lara. Fought at 155 and rejected to fight his wba strap. He's above belts.

So why did he pay the sanctioning fees for fights with Cotto, Khan, Smith and his last fight with GGG?

If he was above belts he would never have embarrassed himself by trying to hang on to the WBC belt for so long that he ended up being forced to relinquish it by the WBC.

he's not on the decline. golovqueen's last 2 oppenents are just not taxi drive's. you are just too ****** to realize this.

[GGG Gloveking]

Get off my **** Punk!
You fa ggot ass, rat, snitch, punk ass coward!

You gonna do something about it? Or just sit there typing insults like a FN idiot?

[kafkod]

You ****** ****ing piece of shet! If he has a belt then great. If he don't then great! You ****** mother****er how hard is it for you to comprehend that? When you reach a certain point in your career like Canelo has, like Floyd, De la Hoya, and Pacquiao did before him then you don't need a ****ing belt to prove your the biggest star in boxing. Are you too ****ing ****** to realize that you ****ing pedophile??
All roads lead to Canelo! Every fighter wants the Canelo pay day regardless if he has a belt or not you ****** child ******er!
So get off my **** fa ggot and go back to sucking **** Punk!
Canelo don't need no piece of shet belt to prove he's the biggest star in boxing Cause either way he'll get the fights he wants, the biggest paydays, and all the exposure!
So **** you b itch!
I know you don't like it that a Mexican is the biggest star in boxing but that's the way of life b itch!
So bow down you punk mother****er!

Another coward who comes to boxing forums to insult other men because he hasn't got the guts to do it in real life.

Good, you'll beat him more convincingly this time

My case in point, Liam Smith. Not a name, not the best at 154. The only reason that fight happens is because of Smith's belt. Also Cotto. Sure Cotto was a name, but CAnelo didn't need to pay that sanction fee, and certainly didn't need to pay it again to defend against Khan. The only non title match for Canelo in the last 2 years has been Chavez.

It's hard to say he doesn't need belts when hes challenging for them and making merchandise saying "world champ"

Well that's the thing you are over looking. They have to sell the smith fight to the public and when it comes to smith he was a belt holder and that's how they sold it. Little to no name over here and they promoted it as Canelo returning to 154 for a belt. Cotto was the fight that everyone wanted at the time it got made. That and kovalev vs Ward. Cotto was the linear champion but more importantly he had a fan base. It made business sense to make it. In terms of him needing the belt, the linear belt was attached to the wbc when he fought Cotto but honestly it didn't matter. As long as Cotto didn't come off a lost, they were going to make that fight to begin with. They were trying to make it before Cotto lost to trout as long as he didn't lose. He paid the fees for Cotto but that was before his beef with the wbc. As a educated fan, you should know some fighters don't need belts. Do you really think Mayweather needed a world title for people to buy his fights? Helps sell the fights but he don't need them. If anything, needs an excuse to fight him when it comes to them having belts.

Yeah, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight, sure you do, and Ward really was considering moving to Heavyweight to fight Joshua too... we believe you, Gingerbread man...

Oh stop. You know what i mean. He doesn't need belts to sell fights. If you can't see that, i cant help you. He's in the mayweather/pacquiao category when it comes to "needing" a belt.

Why do they have to sell the Smith fight? Why Smith, rather than a Charlo, or J rock, or Lara? Like you said "Canelo returning to 154 for a belt". That's the whole purpose of choosing Smith, the belt.

Is there crying going on in this thread? I bet so...
