Caneo, DAZN, GBP soap opera.

The bum beater ducked Ward and he’s still ducking Andrade. That’s just off the top.

This clown has been stuck at 160 forever and won’t move up. But he’ll gladly fight boxers 2-3 weight classes below him. He’s up there as one of the most overrated boxers in the last 20 years.

I've been giving you too much credit.

Canelo can fight a couple of boxers and still generate the same level of interest. But can GGG do the same?

GGG is washed up and apart from being overhyped at his prime, he didn’t beat anyone with a pulse.

Really? Who?

Havent you asked yourself why there is so much commotion around making this fight happen?

1. Golovkin is clearly making money without Canelo. He's set for life. Why can't Golovkin get revenge in a trilogy? Most people at least have them 1-1. Nothing wrong with having one more fight to (hopefully) settle their saga.
2. Pretty sure he never said that.

Most people are okay with a trilogy.

Gennady did say that he was a part owner of DAZN (he has stock in DAZN) and also suggested he is Canelos boss lol

The Jacobs fight was good and well received. Most casuals I know didnt even know GGG fought Steve Rolls in June. In fact they're under the impression GGG retired after Canelo rematch XD

It's not surprising though because taking off 9-10 months is a terrible idea. Even when Floyd took long breaks he was active in social media, interviews, WWE, Dancing with the Stars, staying relevant in some way. People arent even aware GGG is still fighting ffs...

Are you suggesting a jacobs rematch would generate more interest than a 3rd g fight? I was at that fight and i can tell you the fans were not entertained.

I've been giving you too much credit.

Even Canelo moved up from 154 to 160 and he’s planning to fight at 168 and 175.

Why’s your GGG stuck at 160 but would gladly fight someone who’s 147 like Kell Brook?

Nah, I actually gave you and the overrated cherrypicker too much time.

[lolpz]

He would be in on it because he is getting what he wants. When he didn't want to fight GGG in May, he tested positive for PED's to delay the fight. When he didn't want to fight Charlo, he worked with the WBC to create the emeritus belt.

Why would I not think the cash cow and most powerful boxer in the sport would not be in on the decision making with his promoter on this?

So Canelo is desperate for the Golovkin fight is what you're telling me?

Because that's what his promoter and DAZN are trying to force him to do atm. Fight Golovkin.

Yes, Canelo has been moving up, he is naturally getting heavier because he's getting older. He was holding on to 154 for as long as he possibly could. He was a natural MW for years before he absolutely had to move.

Planning to fight at 168 and 175? That will be great when he does that without weight restricting his opponents and I'll give him credit for that...if and when.

But you still haven’t answered why GGG would gladly fight guys who’re 147 and 154 but won’t fight anyone at 168.

And who stays in one weight class throughout his career when he’s not a heavyweight?

You would have to be incredibly biased or just not thinking straight to believe that Dazn has any other motive than making a profit. The 3rd fight between Canelo and Golovkin is the fight they want only because it would be the most profitable. It is only the most profitable because more people want to see it than any other alternative fight.

Maybe you don't think it's necessary but your minority opinion on that is irrelevant, what is relevant is that the majority of people either have Golovkin winning both previous matches or at worst the fighters are 1-1 now. This is why they want a 3rd fight.

The fighter's interest (other than getting paid) are far from being paramount and are also totally irrelevant to this discussion. This is business for pity's sake, nobody gives a phck, nor should they, if Canelo likes Golovkin or doesn't.

This used to be enough of a reason to make a fight. Now we have “fans” making excuses like “canelo doesn’t like ggg”...like that’s a legit reason to avoid a fight the entire sport wants lol.
