Comments Thread For: DAZN Narrows Field For Canelo 9/14 Opponent Selection

[Jab jab boom]

You think Charlo, Hurd, Spence don’t weight 170???

charlo and Hurd are true mw size as well. Just like Canelo was when he was fighting at 155.

here we go with the bulls*** again. Now Canelo wasn't a true middleweight. Walking into the ring at 174 pounds and higher right? Lmaooo. They were both trash fights but you know that khan is always 1 punch away from going to sleep. That was a bigger mismatch.

Isn't that what he said in the first place. What is gained by trying to argue that GGG Brook was less trash than Alvarez Khan? They were trash fights for different reasons. Why is there always some slick angle to try and paint GGG has better or different from other fighters or to distract from ducking and business decisions.

Remember when Jacobs was the guy who didn't deserve the fight cuz he'd get iced like Pirog iced him? Now he is his 2nd best win. See how GGG fans oscillate....

Maybe you should follow the full convo before commenting. I mentioned previously that when Canelo was mw champion he fought a former lightweight who had been ko'd twice. He was the one who brought up ggg as brook and tried to say that it's the same thing. No matter how you slice it, it wasn't. Khan was a former lightweight with one of the worst chins ever in boxing. So it's the Canelo fans who constantly feel the need to defend their hero by trying to compare it to anything that had to do with ggg. They can't defend him without trying to say.. Oh yeah, but what about ggg. Canelo vs Khan was a mismatch no matter who you want to compare it to and doing so won't make it any less of a mismatch.

Carnelo fans be like, "He fights whoever he wants to!"

DAZN is the A Side!

[aboutfkntime]

stop your shameless comparisons. Both were out of their lanes but brook was an undefeated world champion, khan wasn't a world champion in about 4-5 yrs when canelo fought him. Brook also was never ko'd. Khan was already ko'd badly twice and if you Google glass jaw, his picture comes up.

they were both shlt opponents... you missed the point, as usual

Canelo fought Khan as a tune-up/filler, that was a down fight for Canelo..... Khan did not cost him any progress with career-development

immediately after Canelo selected Khan, Golovkin called him a businessman

Golovkin then selected Brook as a SHOWCASE opponent..... and Golovkin took Wade/Brook over Andre Ward

I remember the tards running around saying that Brook was a money-fight for Golovkin LMAO..... which was hilarious..... because NOBODY has ever referred to Brook as a lucrative fight, neither before nor after he fought Golovkin

#businessmandoe

the difference is clearly obvious, and proven by the fact that Canelo will fight anyone..... whereas you 100% know that Golovkin will not fight anyone, and has been very carefully managed as he tip-toed through the tulips

as usual your facts are screwed up. Canelo fought khan, and then followed it up by moving down to 154 to fight Smith and then jumoing past a weight he said he needed to grow into for ggg to fight that bum Chavez Jr. Now I already acknowledged both brook and khan were trash fights but there's levels to this and khan was by far the easier of the two. Just struggled with algieri, had been ko'd twice at much lighter weights and hadn't held any world title in almost half a decade. Oh, and the brook fight only happened because Eubank Jr backed out of a deal. Canelo wanted no smoke with ggg at that time. Not sure when you Canelo cult cuck boys are gonna learn not to test me, you get sonned every time.

Your history and the tone of your posts say otherwise. Be it as it may, what's the value of pointing out the Khan fight? It was a money grab. End of. That's the real reason they fight. Not for fan bragging rights.

This post proves my previous point. What exactly is your point? That Alvarez took a money fight and a 154 fight to get a belt, money, and negotiating leverage at 154 and 160? Ok. Now what? Doesn't make GGG any less of a duck or business man who only wants to make money of Alvarez.

[TonyGe]

GGG could of made this a WHOLE lot easier if he would of fought Andrade or Charlo. That would of then been impossible to turn down then and not look bad. But GGG ducked Andrade twice and turned down Charlo the same day WBC ordered them fight for #1 spot.

Make this easier?? Golovkin isn't Canelo's father. Canelo is a big boy and can handle his own affairs.

[TonyGe]

I think you're having trouble understanding that this isn't like a regular job where you have a boss. It's a services contract. The degree of control is outlined in the contract. As has been stated by DLH and GBP, telling Alvarez who to fight is not part of the contract. That's a fact! In real life, Alvarez has a contract where he gets $30M+ to fight who he wants similar to the contract Mayweather had with Showtime.

DAZN must have the option to approve fighters Loeffler said they presented a list of fighters for DAZN to approve. They had Rolls on the list and DAZN approved him. Whether you think Rolls is it isn't a good matchup us irrevant. The point is DAZN wanted to see the list and had a say in who the opponent was.
