If they end up fighting, what will you say then?Comment

I didn't think I could resent Canelo anymore than I already do. This guy is running around like a child in a candy store shouting 'I want that one, no now I want that one.'
He doesn't respect the fact that he signed a nearly half a billion-dollar contract that comes with certain expectations.
Everyone knows that he owes Golovkin a third fight, and if he had any respect for the sport and his fellow pugs, he would take care of business before the guy turns 40.
If I were head of DAZN, I would be threatening to take Canelo to court over this ridiculous charade of weight jumping and cutting in where he shouldn't be.
Laissez-faire capitalist's with no sense of respect, obligation, the posterity of ethics, in general, will say he's allowed to do whatever he wants because he can offer the biggest pay-days.
Most of us said good riddance when Floyd with his safety first, pick 'em on their way out business model retired. Problem was, he left his business model on the table for Al Haymon, ODLH and others to pick it up and start applying it again.
If it wasn't for Matchroom, Top Rank, and a few others, it's hard to imagine but boxing would be a slower, more boring world than it currently can be.
Of course, the fighters at 160 would do well to boycott Canelo and put HIM out to pasture for his antics. Turn the whole script against him and make those who invested money in him pull the pin and send a message to the rest of the boxing world that respect for rules, tradition, and customs count for something, and not everybody is for sale.Comment

Thought he wants to be the man at 175? Good to know even his ****riding fans acknowledge that he only wants Kov because he’s a name who’s aged.Comment
