    Is a canelo a coward for nothing giving GGG a third fight?

    Honestly 2nd fight was such a close fight that it could have gone either way. Some even say that (Max, atlast) GGG was robbed.

    Shouldnt they settle it before they move on?? seems like the easies fight to make. DAZN wants it. GGG wants it, the Fans want it. It seems like it's only canelo who doesnt want the fight.

    He's not a coward, he's just become a bit egotistical since Floyd retired and he views himself as the new Floyd. Canelo is far from a coward or a sh**ty fighter but he's really turned into a diva. He views fighting Golovkin as doing Golovkin a favor for some ****** azz reason which when that becomes the argument just shows where a fighters view of himself is. I think he at this point perhaps feels bigger than the sport considering how coddled he's been by both networks and promoters the past 8 years. He's put up a decent resume in that time but man you can just smell "out of touch" in his statements as of late and that's troubling for any fighter to find themselves there at his age.

      He’s not a coward. He went 24 rounds with GGG and was never hurt or in any serious trouble. He doesn’t like GGG and doesn’t want to give GGG the payday. GGG talked a lot of **** after Canelo tested positive and Canelo didn’t like it. So he’s being bitter.

        Canelo hates GGG, him not wanting to fight him has nothing to do with anything other than DENYING GGG a paycheck.

        "Canelo told Oscar during negotiations last year not to promise DAZN a third fight with Golovkin -- not because Canelo feared the fight but because he felt he won the second in straightforward fashion and he sincerely disliked the idea of helping out Golovkin financially (that antipathy is real)."

        source:
        Canelo Alvarez is unhappy with his promotional outfit and its semi-leader/figurehead, Oscar De La Hoya. That much you can read anywhere. But here are some reasons -- all of which I shared with Golden...

          Not to mention Canelo had to give GGG more $$ in their 2nd fight and he didnt like that!

          Canelo probably takes a 3rd fight September of 2020 or May 2021. Yes, he wants to literally hurt GGG and will wait him out. Yes, its low.

            Fighters who rematch an opponent that gave a competitive close fight prior are brave.

              To add on the entire negotiations where a pain to deal with. Demanding to name judges and refs. Like you said the money and the fight almost fell though even at a 60/40 split until MGM came up with more cash for GGG. GGG crying about how Canelo's hands were taped. All the ****-talking that occurred after the fight. Fast forward to now demanding the fight take place outside of Vegas.

                No coward, just a diva surrounded by yes men.

                    GGG didn't cry over how Canelo's hands were taped. He was having his hands taped at the same time Lol. So unless he can be in two places at once it's BS. Sanchez was complaining about the hand wraps. They aren't the same people FYI..
