Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: GGG Has To 'Earn His Spot' To Get Canelo Trilogy!

[yankees7448]

Why did you edit the beginning of your comment? Il add this to your comment though Charlo and Andrade followed ggg as well so is he dodging them too? Beterbiev and gvozdyk had a fight set already Kovalev is the other top dog of the division. You cant say canelo is dodging anyone at 175.

I always edit my posts almost immediately after I post because when I reread them I always figure out better ways to say them. If I am on the PC after I post I will probably edit my response at some point. So if you respond to one of my posts shortly after I post I might edit it while you are in the middle of responding.

Charlo and Andrade did not follow GGG. They joined GGG at 160 after spending their entire careers at a lower weight class. Its still soon to figure out what's going on next with GGG. I am hopeful that we'll see these fights now that GGG is getting Canelo off his brain. I appreciate that Andrade seems to be staying busy and taking on better quality opposition as opposed to Charlo who seems content to sit on his butt and beat up no hopers.

As for the higher weight classes. Dimitri Bivol didn't even have a fight date scheduled up until recently and he still doesn't have an opponent. Neither Caleb Plant, Billy Joe Saunders or Callum Smith have fights locked in and all would have dropped everything to fight Canelo. So unification fights at 168 and a higher level opponent at 175 were theoretically possible. . 3 of those 4 guys fight on DAZN. To acknowledge those guys would acknowledge Canelo did not choose to fight the best available opponent. As with most people trying to become multi-division champions Canelo picks the easiest possible guy.

I don’t know if you’re from the US but right now times are different because of Trump, it seems to be anti Latino right now specifically Mexican so the media does no favors to a guy like canelo who just happens to be Mexican. Canelo is where he’s at because of his fans and willingness to face the best from the beginning.

For example you rarely hear squat about Fury’s ped test hear.

That guy doesn't understand that, he actually cant see the bias the media has against canelo even before the doping test.

It does he's not going to do what ggg says.

It has nothing to do with doing what GGG says. Canelo chose not to fight on a Mexican holiday after years of having to cede the date to Floyd Mayweather Jr because GGG and Kovalev were the two names DAZN was willing to accept. When a deal with Kovalev couldn't be made he chose to sit on his butt eating tainted tacos and hope Kovalev got through his fight unscathed rather than accept his networks demand for the trilogy.

Is it that really or is that there isn’t an objective Canelo fan on this site?
Do you honestly believe you are an objective boxing fan?

Nope I’m not I’m biased I will always support my Mexican people in everything let alone boxing... that doesn’t change the facts that we know about triple jab. He is officially 1-1-1 with 0 ko’s in his only 3 meaningful fights and an easily be 0-3. He is also a cry baby, that wants the canelo fight after beating the 80 something ranked guy. Those are all facts

So you're telling me Kovalev is an easier opponent than Caleb Plant or Saunders?! Alright I see what you're about.

Canelo didn’t really earn his win and draw with GGG

Yea I think ODLH got this backward its Canelo who has the burden of proof when it comes to who is the better middle.

Its a fact that Canelo COULD be 0-4 in his fights with arguably his four toughest fights. GGG(twice) May, Lara. He ll he could have lost the trout fight and it would not be a robbery. For the record I thought he beat trout by one, lost to Lara by 2(no robbery though), and lost(1st fight) and draw(2nd fight)with GGG.

Canelo's fight with JCCjr proves that whole catchweight thing was just nonsense. And you're ok with it.

You’re ok being a ggg fan so whatever you believe holds no Merritt. 👋

[Shadoww702]

Yeah that's my opinion that Golovkin won both fights. No matter if you think he lost both they were good competitive fights. That doesn't make Golovkin a media creation unless Canelo is one also. Looking objectively at the two fighters Canelo has had just as much push if not more than Golovkin from the media.

How did you have it competitive when you gave GGG all 24 rounds??? Ohh my bad you GIFTED Canelo like 3-4 so you didn’t BYRD too bad.

[Shadoww702]

Wrong.

Canelo has had a far bigger push from the fans to where as Ggg got his push from the media.

To this day the media is still very biased in favor of GGG regardless of him not being the “star” they hoped he would be.

Canelo has earned his statues by fighting the very best at suxh an early age regardless if you feel he won or lost some.

Man go back and read some of Dan Rafael’s old articles about GGG. I just read one and holy sht he sounded like he was in LOVE!
