Comments Thread For: Hearn Admits Shock When Golden Boy Called on Canelo-Fielding

[LADIV]

You didn’t address what I posted. My point is Golovkin jumping to 168lbs to fight a guy like Fielding would never have quieted the move up crowd. It would have looked rightfully ridiculous.

it would have looked ridiculous but then again ggg would have never dared to be great and move up in weight to 168

So if he had moved up to face a guy like Fields you’d have been cool with that? That would have shut up the move up crowd?

I would not had a problem with that..ggg lost all credibility wen he chose to fight vanes instead of his mando I dont expect much from him anymore..he brought the criticism into himself

Moving up a division is a risk no matter how you look at it. The fighter moving up doesn't know if he will lose power, speed or mobility. He dosen't know how the punches at a higher weight will affect him regardless of who he's fighting. Props to Canelo...

Somehow I doubt that but okay. You and about no one else would have given him credit for moving up to fight a fighter like Fielding. Only GGG’s most fanatic supporters.

Regarding Vanes it was a bad fight. Like this is for Canelo. That said I think virtually everyone understood it and more so once the Canelo fight was made. Both fights are bad but understandable.

But the haters are always going to find something to hate on.

Moving up is a risk contingent on who you fight. Canelo or Golovkin could move up to 175 but if they are fighting a bum that isn’t a real risk.

Lemieux is a greater risk IMO. That isn’t to say Lemieux would beat Canelo. Canelo is clearly a better fighter and would dominate him. But Lemieux is a huge puncher. Lemieux has a decent chin and has at least gone some rounds with upper echelon fighters. Meanwhile Fielding got destroyed in one round vs. his best completion.

Again no problem with the fight but there is a reason they chose this guy after a tough fight. There is no real risk. When Canelo wins and dominates he should get no credit accept a W on his record. What matters is what he does after this fight.

IDK, but have now seen both of them. I think Lemieux is a legit top 10 MW.

Fielding has one fight against a legit top SMW and got destroyed in one round.

I’ve watched a few videos and he doesn’t look very good.

Just my opinion. Again I really don’t care about this fight. I’ll watch it of course, won’t pay for it. No problem with a gimme fight. I’ll wait to see who Canelo fights after. He has a lot of options.

I never heard of him before??? Thats why I asked?

I wont watch this fight I dont do mismatches.

I still haven't seen the Smith/Pednelo fight.

Of course there is a risk and I told you why in my comment to which you responded...the risk lies not so much in Fielding but in Canelo himself, he doesn't know if he will be the same fighter at supermiddle he was a middle! That is just common sense! And Fielding getting destroyed by one of the top supermiddle weights of the moment doesn't necessarily mean it will be easy for a middleweight moving up no matter who he is...it might be easy but it might not...that is the risk.

[Shadoww702]

yeah, you conveniently didn't say you were in Vegas until I told you I was in NY. You probably live in jersey or some s***. Plus you love Canelo. You'd take a bullet for him, come out here watch him fight, and take an ass whopping before you fly back home. But I get it, landscaping is a little slow this time of year so you have to make your $6 an hour salary last until business picks up in March.

You will never beat me. No matter how much you talk Ill be there for Sergiy/Jacobs fight. Show me your tickets....

[aboutfkntime]

if that were the case then yes, he wouldn't be a real champion. Especially if the real champion already knocked his ass out in 1 round. But, do enlighten me, because I recall ggg being the WBA super champion while ndam was regular champion.

so..... Golovkin's defence record is 9, not 20..... right ?

or..... are you a flip-flopping, shlt-talking, muppet ???

because, you said this.....

Fielding is amusingly considered a WBA champion despite the fact that the WBA has another champion in that same division ..... But gullible fans will celebrate what they'd consider an actual 3rd weight class title. Which is truly laughable

that is the same title Golovkin defended for his first 11 defences

so..... Golovkin's defence record is 9, not 20..... right ?

RIGHT..... ?
