Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Golovkin is Afraid of Canelo - We're Moving On!

[chubuk7]

I don’t know canelo and more than likely never will and even if I did that’s his money not mine. I stated facts, I don’t care about his money, I was responding to the other guy saying he can’t take canelo serious anymore... so what? He still gonna box and get paid well. That hurts you too? Mr IQ?!

I can't blame GGG for not wanting to fight a cheater. Even if it is only meat it still gives him an advantage and someone of his status should know what to eat. God dammit his trainer is a butcher?

YOU are right, I can’t stand cheaters. Canelo signed up for yr round VADA. No more excuses

Good for you Golovkin, glad to see you grow a pair. Fight Derevechenko, rematch Jacobs, unify with Saunders, or take on Charlo. They may all be tougher fights, and less money. BUT you've danced enough for GBP.

Pretty good post. Green K.

That's exactly what I want to see as well.

I personally don't care for a rematch. I didn't like the first fight. Nothing memorable about it. Neither do I care for a Jacobs fight.

I want to see all these guys fighting each other, instead. Screw this drama between GGG and Canelo. Announce better match ups with other live dogs.

In this case, though, I'm with GGG. He definitely has the right to demand a little more. The Canelo situation put him in a mess for a year: A canceled fight due to PEDS, a weak opponent selection, a demanding belt organization, accusations of being a duckling, and more. That's too much to deal with for anyone. I'd say he deserves at least 40 percent of the pot.

That said, GGG can't ******ly pass on this fight. It'd be his biggest payday EVER until retirement. I don't think he'll fight longer than two or three fights. All those combined wouldn't make him a half of what he'd make in a Canelo fight. So negotiate a little longer.

A lot of uncertainty ahead for GGG. All the guys waiting for him right now have a chance to beat him, with Saunders being the most formidable, IMO, because of his style, size, and skills. This is the only guy I see beating GGG. I'm not yet fully sold on these other guys: Andrade, Derevyanchenko and Charlo (and I like Jermall). All tough fights on coming for Golovkin.

Make the most money and get out!

Yeah I'm looking forward to the Canelo vs Spike ppv. It might be as interesting as the Canelo vs Smith ppv

It will still do more PPV sales than Golovkin has ever done or will do. That's just the truth.

Canelo is already showing good faith by doing year round VADA testing now. Golovkin needs to sack up and just take the same deal that he already agreed to for May.

I find Oscar doesn't want this fight!
There are other money fights with less chance of loosing.
They made Golovkin wait in the past now they delayed the rematch and it's clear to me they don't want the match up.
To bad for Golovkin because the money could have made his retirement that much more comfortable.

Oscar has been a huge disappointment to me but he was taught well by the Arums of the business how to work around certain business moves.

I do think Canelo beats GGG but he has to take chances and he must back GGG up and continue to do so.

He wants to box the way Floyd did against him when he was a kid. Sorry but to beat the pressure you use angles and combinations then pressure the pressure fighter. Nothing new it's as old as dirt!

Can we move on from this pointless ass fight already?

[stealthradon]

I've asked it before, and I'll ask it again.

What other options does Canelo have besides GGG at 160?
Derev? Doesn't care about Cheatnelo.
Charlo? Cheatnelo doesn't dare risk it for such a low payday.
Murata? No way Cheatnelo comes to Japan.
Andrade? Nope.
BJS? Not going to happen
Jacobs? Canelo will not risk it.

[Bigg Rigg]

Oskie is delusional. Pay that man for the dumb **** that happened leading up to the rematch.

[Robi13]

Beggers can’t be choosers

“If they want to go in a different direction, they’re entitled to, but I think that speaks more to Canelo,” Loeffler told THE RING. “GGG is not afraid to fight anybody in the middleweight division. He made a lot of (financial) sacrifices for the first fight and the rematch. And since the rematch was cancelled he wants a more equitable percentage.

So lil g is pricing himself out....LMMFAO! This dude aint worth what Nelo is paying him....LMMFAO!
