If you wanna knock Canelo for playing the Caneloweight thing fine. But he basically never fought as a true middleweight before fighting GGG. He never fought or beat any legit middleweights. So he was under no obligation to fight GGG. Canelo was about as obligated to move up fight GGG as Gennady was to move up and fight Ward.

Nut-huGGGing plague. Shear ******ity. Anti ODLH as if he did something to them. Maybe Oscar put his nasty privates where they eat .....

Most money they’ll make is with each other. Neither guy should be to eager to get in there with the top 3 contenders. There both shrimps or old.

GGG should get paid a little extra for a September fight simply for the money his team probably lost in sanctioning fees for the Vanes fight. It cost money to carry all those belts into the ring. I don't even want to think about the wasted promotion. It's a lot of money. I'm sure GGGs team immediately approached GB about renegotiating the contracts. Why wouldn't they?
We also don't know, until we see numbers, what this will do to Canelo's star power. Although I wouldn't be surprised if the Floyd Effect happens where more people watch him hoping he gets KOd. He's playing the villain now. Either way it's worth being part of the renegotiation. I think K2 believes GGG will have to carry more of this fight than GB is giving him credit for.
Oscar certainly was pissed that GGG was talking about the test and appears to be holding a grudge about it. Would explain the 10% chance GGG gave the fight of even happening after it was cancelled. I don't believe Canelo is ducking anybody, this is clearly Oscar not wanting GGG to get paid. Even when GGG is the biggest fight Oscar can make, he won't budge. This is personal.
Anyways, GGG should take the mandatory with Sergiy Derevyanchenko. I think Sergiy will look good in that fight until he gets caught. You just can't trade punches like Sergiy would have to with a guy like GGG. The real crime here is there are more accomplished, deserving fighters that should be the IBF mandatory. But it should be a good fight anyhow. Then ideally go to Europe and make a fortune fighting BJS, but I don't see this happening. I predict Oscar makes Canelo vs. Sanders happen just to hold that last belt hostage and prevent GGGs opportunity to ever unify. It's a straight up GB-type of move. But then again, its not a given that Canelo beats BJS.

So it's guna he spike. The old school act like there's a tonne of options when really you already have your mind set on it being crappy spike who's already lost to bjs and eubank jr and hadnt beaten anyone relevant in the mw division. In the UK he is domestic level Euro level at best. Delahoya is dislikeable and deluded and out of touch with boxing fans. Your guy is a drugs cheat simple as that's why the GGG rematch isn't happening
