    It's his right to do so. That's the same way I felt about Wilder-Povetkin and Wilder-Ortiz.

    I don't think Canelo cheated. But it's GGG that's gonna be in the ring. So if he'd rather move the fight out than risk his wellbeing with someone who tested positive, I couldn't be upset with that decision.

      I support this 100%

      GGG should be allowed to be concerned about the drug testing, even if there is a legitimate possibility of the test result being from eating Mexican meat.

        It's a dog **** situation and is probably years away from any satisfactory testing.
        Many Mexican fighters imo have benefitted from the use of Clenbuterol in the past; and it bothers me that I don’t know how many of them have gotten away with using this PED.

        No one can tell me that Barrera wasn’t on it against Hamed.

        Hamed said that Barrera looked like a LW when they fought.

          The fight is in May so they don’t have to cancel the fight. But if GG decided to back out I wouldn’t blame him. Your life is more important than money.

            More chance of WesternChamp being straight than Golovkin cancelling. Only way this gets cancelled is if NSAC do it.

              That only became an issue in the meats in the last 10 years though. Morales outweighed Barrera more and more each time in the ring. I think clearly Vargas and Canelo got caught cheating and tried to blame the meat because it's a built in excuse that's been used and abused.

              I'd be interested to go back and see when drug use became so prevalent. I suspected something was fishy with Jones, Pazienza, Gatti and Hopkins but didn't pay much attention.

              I think the fighters that are cutting weight and then piling on a lot overnight look very suspect.

                    Cuz money ya'know!!!!


                    I agree. No way GGG will ever cancel the biggest money fight of his career. Good observation.
