[skinnystev]

why would any organization even sanction a fight with a drug cheating twerp like red balls degraded punk needs to be banned for life

He has been sucking canelos d**k so hard recently. Desperately trying to get back in the good books. This sport is a joke with these characters. Embarrassing

You are right...everyone has moved on to Wilder - Joshua.

I mean, I could literally think of at least of at least 3 fights off the top of my head I'd rather see. Lomachenco linares right off is a more exciting fight imo right off the bat, but others too

I hope Canelo decides not to give GGG another payday. I rather see Canelo fight Charlo, David Lemuix or Daniel Jacobs.

Makes sense to me. I would add Saunders to your list.

WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman is crossing his fingers that a deal is reached for the rematch between Gennady Golovkin, the world middleweight champion of the World Boxing Council (WBC), the World Boxing Association (WBA), International Boxing Organization (IBO) and the International Boxing Federation (IBF), and Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.

I agree on many of these. Like I was just telling another guy on here...

From past interviews, it looks like his team feels Golden Boy tried to age him out and that he still ended up clearly (in theirs and many eyes) winning the first one. Then they wanted to wait 8 more months to do the 2nd fight on Cinco de Mayo, and now there's a 6 month suspension putting it at 16 months from the first fight at the very earliest. Golovkin could realistically be a year and a half to 2 years older in his late 30's by the time the fight gets made. I think they're happy with the way the first fight is viewed publicly and the dirty test sort of put it all in the rearview for them.

I'm not a fan of either (or am of both; however you'd like to perceive it). And unlike so many who could only watch that first fight subjectively instead of objectively, it was easy for me to form my own conclusion that Gennady won comfortably. I'm also amazed that Golden Boy wields the power it does with the judges (although I think they'll be on a sharp decline with all of this "KITCHEN UTENSIL" mess Oscar has been outed with now. Fighters may not want to be linked to a promoter like that) having CJ Ross throw that bone cone at Mayweather during his Canelo fight, and now Byrd with hers at GGG in his Canelo fight. One common denominator in both. This fight is so far removed now, I'd honestly skip it, ask sanctioning bodies for a hold on the mandatory so he can unify, and move forward. Canelo will have other big fights and a career since he's only in his late 20's, so there's not much to worry about on either side here

Yeah I’m starting to sway this way too. What with all the controversy, all the back and forth and all the excess drama that has come out of this whole GGG/Canelo episode has kinda dirtied the whole thing. There was ****** drama in the build ups, there wa ****** controversy with the result for the first, there was corruption and so forth for the second...etc.

If the rematch never happened now I genuinely don’t think many people would mind. Deep down we’d all enjoy to see it, we’d all watch it. If that fight was next week we would all watch for sure. But given the whole situation and all the water that has passed under the bridge, it seems that the general attitude towards these two fighting again is “meh, if it happens it happens”.

Put it this way, if Golovkin went his own route and took on Saunders and Charlo over the next year or so for example, history would look on him with extreme favour. It already kinda does. The same can not and will not be said for Canelo.

The milk has gone kinda sour for the kid.
