Comments Thread For: Canelo's Coach: We Want GGG at 160 - But We'll Make A lot of Noise at 168!

wow ggg trying to drain canelo. first he picked the judges and gloves and now this!

Don't need trilogy. 160 might be a squeeze too.

Food for thought: what if GGG boxed Canelo like Kovalev did? Would be another boring fight, but it might just work.

Don't think it will work, because Canelo did not know what to expect from Kovalev so he was cautious and fought at a measured pace, but he knows Golovkin all too well. If GGG fights as Kovalev did, he will be toast. Canelo would take him out within 7 rounds.

F*** going from 175 down to 160 can't be easy or healthy hope G appreciates that pay day.

Being juiceup, it will be a walk in the park for Clenbuterol Clenero making 160.

Funny how 168 was avoided even in talks when the division had a true champion to deal with. Now that Zurdo is not there everyone wants to jump in the pool. Canelo can make more money but doesn't make him better in that weight class. 175 is going to be avoided also unless the hyped matchup against anyone but Zurdo or Bivol can be made. I guess it's the money more than the legacy with the Canelo camp and Reynose. That's why getting GGG to fight a third time is targeted when he along with most fans couldn't care much to see happen.

The only reason we will see a trilogy with GGG is because of DAZN's fanatical fixation on that fight and the fact that Skipper sweetened the pot for Canelo. It sure wasn't Canelo's idea. Was Zurdo a true champion? He is not a particular problem for elite boxers. Zurdo has a high work-rate, good height and reach but not much else going for him.

Yeah that would be great but nobody can beat Clenero on points (it's in the contract ).

There's no bigger fight for both, I don't think Canelo is willing to go through that war again even vs faded Golovkin, he remembers that punching power, for sure he would prefer fat Saunders

In before..."If its at 160("lil" mw gggs career weight he refuses to budge from)then Canelo is weightdraining him" ,or "if its at 168 Canelo is weightbullying lil mw ggg",or"Canelo aged him",(even though gggstans been crying for this fight since saying Nelos duckin) Canelo will ALWAYS be duckin who he doesn't pick,& whomever he does picks a cherry regardless of being champions.

This is why I don't want to see a 3rd fight, anything besides a ko is a robbery,& regardless of what Nelo does it will be discredited (esp. if he loses his accomplishments are forgotten by the same few scorned who picked him to win in a supposed cherrypick)

I see your point...but a lot of us on here will never give credit to some guys, no matter what...so for me I just want to see fights that intrigue me...usually that is the best fighting the best.

The 3rd fight to me has a lot of intrigue still...what does GGG have left? Can Canelo continue to improve? Can Canelo win one clean on my card? Can Canelo hurt GGG, or vice versa?

Idk I'm interested...I'd probably pay $20 every time to see them fight, until one of them gets KOed or says they don't want it anymore.

If one guy gets stopped, I would probably favor GGG to get stopped...but in general I agree with your point...I think Canelo knows how tough those 2 fights were, especially fight 2 where he held his own in the center of the ring against GGG, and he knows how dangerous that felt in there...I don't know if he can get as motivated again as he was for fight 2 - Canelo had everything to prove in that fight.

two years ago 70% people in this forum were GGG fans. Now 90% know GGG gonna get body shot and tko'ed

The whooping Derevyanchenko meted out has taken away whatever aura was remaining.

Having said that, Respect to both GGG and CANELO.they fought 24 rounds and all were super close

SD gave GGG his toughest fight and has a legit claim for beating GGG...Canelo can't say that.

but I don’t know how Canelo will be affected by dropping back down to 160. That is 2 weight divisions from where he last previously fought. It may drain him.

Yes definitely adds some intrigue for fight 3
