Canelo vs. GGG - Cherrypicking

[ShawnTaylor]

Which of these two gentlemen happen to be the biggest cherrypicker? IMO, it's clearly Golovkin.

if canelo fought golovkin tomorrow these guys would still cry about how canelo didnt fight him the week before and how golovkin is old now and the win means nothing for canelo....yet theyll still cry cause golovkin cant get the fight....in these guys minds they, and golovkin, never lose.....its sad

golovkin knows he cant do better himself...he just wants a fat check again....

Kovalev was carefully picked... but he was no cherry

some of Golovkin's cherries were not even picked from the tree, they were picked off the ground

TBH, Golovkin just comes across as a big coward. Has stayed at 160 lb his entire career, dragged Kell Brook up in weight, fought bad opponents instead of Andrade while waiting Canelo to give him a payday, etc. TBH, I've never seen a fighter get this so hyped for doing so little.

There is no debate really unless you are a boxing novice or have a gay crush for Canelo.

I don't like Canelo, but... He is fighting guys like Kovalev, when did Golovkin ever do something like that? It seems pretty clear that Canelo is seeking out huge challenges while Golovkin is satisfied with fighting guys like Steve Rolls, Vanes Martirosyan, Kell Brook and Dominic Wade... While I can agree that Rocky Fielding isn't anything special, he's still several leagues above those guys AND a weight division above them.

I saw enough of the Canelo Kovalev fight to realize there was no huge challenge. It was smoke and mirrors. I give credit to Canelo for fighting Golovkin. The Jacobs match was tarnished because of the rehydration clause but he still took a risk. Canelo is a very good fighter but there were lots of stumbling blocks put in the road of his opponents. Favorable unjustified scoring, hand wraps, gloves, drug failures, catchweights, rehydration clauses, the ages of his more famous opponents and Canelo weight. This list is getting pretty long. How many other current fighters have a list of controversial events like this. Very few. Yes as fighters become celebrities people are going to jump on them but that doesn't change the fact that there is a long list.

I agree with this

For some weird reason, it seems like Golovkin-lovers are attacking Canelo all the time in order to justify Golovkin's miserable and boring career... I just don't get it.
