Comments Thread For: De La Hoya "Very Close To A Deal" For Canelo In Vegas This May

[UNBANNED]

People sleeping on the GGG trilogy as there is no news about Golovkin fighting again.

GGG finale
BJS/Callum Smith
Bivol
Jean Pascal
Plant

Hoping we get one of those!

It's pretty simple for Canelo - the criteria is as follows:

1. World recognised fighter who is on the slide.
2. Holds any kind of belt.
3. Is desperate to give in to negotiations just to get the career-defining pay-day that comes with a Canelo fight.


Additionally, I think Canelo will either fight at 168, or a catchweight of 165 if it's an MW.

If God was real and rainbows and lollipops paved the streets, and Canelo was a true fighter rather than just a businessman now posing as a fighter, I'd have him fight GGG, then Charlo, Andrade, Plant, Benavidez.
But we all know that the streets aren't paved with handjobs.

Starting to think its Plant because he is fighting this week and they want to do another Kovalev and not give the guy any time off between fights. I've heard back to back camps are the worst, that could be their possible move.

What are you talking about??? Plant used to fight Like every 1-2 months before. He’s fighting a nobody.

6 weeks off and six weeks to train... Not the best but still plenty of time. All depends how early he wins and doesn’t suffer any significant damage.

Sht Canelo has about the same amount of time to fight a bigger guy in Fielding after going a brutal 12 with GGG.... The hate for Canelo on this site is unreal smh

[Shadoww702]

Fielding is a ranked a lot higher than the guy plant is fighting. I don’t understand haters?

I want to see Canelo vs.GGG.

I’m on record like Breadman and Dougie in saying Canelo ***s ggg up! You watch he’s gonna hurt ggg and then GGg fans will be calling the suicide hotline CRYING

Lol that’s very likely, but he already beat ggg, don’t need that fight anymore... like canelo says, ggg doesn’t represent a challenge for him anymore. If ggg wants it, he is gonna have to pay, and based on his history... I doubt he wants it bad enough to cough up that money. But we will see, if it’s gonna happen it’ll be September for sure. Bjs next

[Nightfall]

No way clenelo is fighting Charlo, Plant, Benavidez and Andrade. They all are very active and aren't washed up.🥊

[ShoulderRoll]

Yeah I agree about GGG. I still think he was hard done by in the first fight especially. To be honest, I wasn’t even that interested in the rematch the first time by the time it happened. Canelo’s failed test and it being a year between the fights took the shine off it.

Canelo v BJS is the fight I want because BJS will be at his best and on paper is all the things Canelo has struggled with in the past.

I hope Canelo picks Saunders. Just so that he can finally shut a lot of people up.

[The Big Dunn]

Has there ever been a time in the sport when the "cash cow" has ever had such a difficult time finding an opponent? Maybe it happened before and I am forgetting but I don't ever recall Ali, Tyson, Leonard, ODH or Floyd not being able to get an opponent to agree to a deal.

[Eff Pandas]

Hope they surprise me & it's GGG at 168. I wouldn't be mad if BJS got the call either honestly. I give him some upset potential vs Canelo.

A little surprised Canelo didn't take a big lump of that Japanese yen and go to Tokyo to fight murata.
