Comments Thread For: Report: Site For Canelo-Golovkin III Holding Up Negotiations

[Shadoww702]

Neither of them KOing each other and to me a third fight is curious, but unnecessary. When somebody like Canelo - an elite boxer in his prime couldn't win convincingly a single fight against past his prime GGG, it tell me who the real champ is and you can extrapolate what GGG must have been as a fighter in his prime.

How so??? GGG is natural bigger than Canelo and this was Canelo’s 2nd fight at MW??? Lb4lb no! GGg is not better. He’s just bigger and never until Rolls has he fought outside of MW. In fact he went down in weight from amateurs. This is Canelo’s 4th weight class.

Reason why GGG would NEVER fight Canelo below 160 even though his mouth said Anyone from 154-160.

It was GGG saying he wouldn't leave it to the judges in both fights, so the location didn't matter. Now that he realizes he can't knock Canelo out, he yells and cries that the fight shouldn't be in Vegas. All that 23 ko streak is nothing but a bluff.

[Shadoww702]

Canelo hasn’t even made peaked yet because he’s still very new to MW. But he’s beaten LB4LB top 10 guys. And even when he wasn’t close to this good he still beat Lara and Trout.

Who did GGG beat in his prime??? And as soon as he fought someone B class or better they said he got old.

Boring.....the second fight was enough

[Shadoww702]

The fight is going to be in the location that makes the most $$$$$.

If it makes $ it makes sense. WTF would anyone want to leave millions on the table??? Just silly. Maybe it should come out of GGG’s purse if he wants it elsewhere.

[Shadoww702]

I don't think Canelo will get more money fighting anybody else. Both guys are popular in different markets. Canelo could had walked away from the second negotiations and didn't, actually they had to cave in into some of the demands.

I am interested in a third fight sooner than later. GGG is not getting any younger and both fights were really good.

You are correct. At the last minute they caved in another 5% or so. Which was worth millions.

But I think Canelo makes the same who he fights?

[KrusherStan]

Add me to the list of fans not looking forward to a trilogy fight. Primarily because since GGG got close to a fight against Alvarez the first time, he has refused to fight anyone of substance. I don't quite understand how anyone can get behind a fighter who purposely avoids the other top guys (Jacobs rematch, Charlo, Andrade, Dervy). It's almost as if he says, I'll only risk losing if its for a lot of money.

Yup, he went from 'I'll fight anyone from 154 to 168' to being the 'Triple Diva'. It's not as if the other elite competition would be favoured by the judges against GGG. Now I realize if he doesn't get a lot of money, he won't fight someone with a pulse.

Yeah now he might be after the victory in the 2nd fight.
But he wasn’t the A side in the first 2 fights was he?!
If you think he was ,why was he?
He had no belts and had arguably been ducking GGG already. No?

He was the a side for the first fight and second fight and will continue to be a side to any other boxer till he retires.... why? Money. He sells more than any other boxer in the planet. Why don’t you know this

GGG has been a very assertive B-side in negotiations during his first two fights with Canelo, and even before. And he’s been pretty successful holding his ground. But this time around, I don’t think he has the leverage he had before. Any true boxing should want Canelo-GGG III over any other option Ginger has. But the legions of idiots that are following the sport nowadays seem to have been convinced that Canelo fighting “Boo Boo” Andrade is somehow a bigger fight than a third GGG matchup. So the demand isn’t there from the hardcore boxing fan base. Not to mention that Oscar and Canelo seem to want GGG to age a little more before crossing that bridge again. So GGG may simply be playing himself if he tries to be firm in this set of negotiations. Because Canelo doesn’t really want the fight. And there’s not a lot of public demand to kinda force him into it.

My order of fights for Canelo.

1. Andrade go for ALL the belts then drop them and fight only the best.

2. Smith at 168

3. Kovalov at 175

4. Charlo in Houston

5. GGG

6. Spence Texas Stadium 2020/2021

Unlike GGG fans who HATE seeing GGG fight anyone with a pulse. Cried FOUL when WBC ordered Charlo/GGG. Said that’s Canelo Mando!!!

Then had another heart attack when Andrade called GGG out.
