Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Promoters Won't Take Risks, We Think of Fans First

[Shadoww702]

again I don't care about odds, I'm talking about reality and the reality is, all Canelo would need to do is land 1 semi decent punch and khan was done. Debating with you is like debating with a child. Not even worth doing but it's entertaining at times. Your response to what I say about canelo is to say "wahhh, but what about what ggg did?? I hate you". My original comment was about canelo not fighting ggg and taking 3 lame lesser money fights vs inferior competition. That's just the truth, as much as you may hate it.

You know what else is tru?? GGG's entire career outside of Jacobs/Pednelo is against VASTLY inferior opponents. Hell Liam Smith is better than probably 95% of them...

Khan has some GOOD wins also. Maidana wasnt able to KO him?

[Shadoww702]

How many guys you know move up and in their 2nd fight end up fighting a P4P top 3 who has been at MW his entire career???

The closest was Ward That's how you become GREAT! Not squating at MW your entire career watching and waiting for the the lower classes to move up.

ask me my opinion on any ggg opponent and I'll be honest in assessing it. I'm not biased for him. My comment though regarding this article which is about comments made by Canelos promotor is that I didn't like his handling of the Canelo vs ggg build up. He lied to the public and played games while providing inferior fights. And as far as khans 1 true claim to fame, beating maidana, yeah, great win back in 2010 but was getting pummeled the entire end of that fight and by no means has ever showed that he could take a good punch from any puncher at a higher weight, nevertheless a mw.

And I addressed that lying to the public and fighting inferior fights in my Strike #1

Your right Brook/Khan had no buisness at all being in the ring with either one. I do give GGG more credit because Eubank lost his pin and wasted everyones time.

Vanes was BS! Sergiy was able and willing for Vanes $$$. Andrade even threw his hat in the ring.

Hind sight is 20/20 but the first fight rejected sounds like it could of been one of this year's BEST!

Jaime Munguia vs. GGG

Who are they kidding. Canelo will be fighting Spike next no matter the Sep outcome.

Didn't you say Canelo would be fighting Spike this September? Well you were wrong my friend. He is fighting ggg.

yeah, you addressed the lying situation a few posts in but your initial response to my post about Oscar lying was how you hate fans like me etc. Yes, in hindsight the Munguia fight probably would've been the best. The only reason I don't make a big deal over the vanes fight was because after Canelo pulled out, you're working with less than a month to make a fight. Knowing that the Canelo rematch was most likely on the table for Sept, who is really going to get into a super risky fight and jeopardize that pay day and chance to settle the score? Nobody.

Yes! Mr. dela Hoya make sense this time aside from being a good businessman with Canelo affair. Oscar will bring it on always for the fans. He benefited from retirement courtesy of a midget Pacquiao!

Promoters think money first and their fighters second

Promoters are motivated by personal greed and a lust for cash. Their fighters come in second every-time. If a fight does not involve big bucks then Promoters could care less. Greed rules boxing.

I 100% agree on the business side. My fan side was SUPER pissed
