Comments Thread For: Golovkin: Let's Just Move On From Canelo & See What Happens

1. They are. Big money is just that big money. The whole big money to him approach doesn't hold. Particularly given that GGG had a deal with HBO.

A thousand dollars is big money to a homeless guy but chump change to Jeff Bezos. Perspective matters.

2. Would have ducked and ducked are two different things. GGG made a call...he effectively prevented Cotto from ducking.

No. If the option is to take the money and still have a chance to fight the winner of Cotto/Canelo or refuse the money and settle for a fight with whatever no name occupied the next highest spot in the rankings there really isn't a choice. Especially when GGG had been thirsty for a shot at a big name for a long time.

3. Wrong. The majority of the talk was in 2015 and 2016 after Ward's comeback vs Smith. Further, the BET fight was a one off, with an HBO deal struck right afterward. Ward was not on the sidelines when he went on ESPN and told GGG people to send a contract.

In 2015 GGG was the mandatory for a fight with Canelo. By the end of March 2016 Ward had already made his light heavyweight debut while Canelo dumped the WBC belt rather than fight GGG that May.

Well, that reply doesn't make much sense. You implied that GGG was **** and couldn't compete with the upper echelon MWs. Then you say that the upper echelon is Canelo alone, the guy who GG went life and death with twice.

no, he can compete, hes a MW world champ.

Canelo is in my mind an elite LMW who is in the process of proving his eliteness at MW
