Theory on Why GGG suddenly don’t want a third fight with Canelo

[MulaKO]

That was entertaining
The devil , the greatest middleweight all this to say GGG doesn’t feel confident taking this third fight
Not sure what he’ll be waiting on but wtv
At least come out and just say you want a couple of tune ups
Couldn’t even say it with a straight face lol

He's almost a decade older than Canelo. The time was never going to be right. If they had met when Golovkin was prime then Canelo would be green. And now that they meet in Canelo's prime Golovkin is obviously on the downturn.

Of course the rabid fans of either guy will not admit this. I think Golovkin won the first and Canelo won the second though. And both fights stunk and I don't care to see it again. Golovkin is 38 years old. He's been going downhill for years.

He just wants easy money with Szemereta. If there was no Pandemic he was gonna fight some european bum in Szmereta first before Canelo. That will be his 3rd fight in his 6 fight 100mil deal with DAZN. Now that there’s a pandemic Canelo will be his 3rd fight in that deal. And after he loses to Canelo. DAZN won’t think about it and will let GGG fight Andrade, Munguia or Jacobs.

I read what Golovkin's trainer said but I didn't hear that straight from Golovkin himself. I'm gonna reserve judgement until I hear what GGG has to say.

[ShaneMosleySr]

He wants the fight. It’s been agreed too. He’s fighting someone he signed to fight first, first. That was always the plan.

"greatest MW of all time"

lmao...i cant believe people still let this poster exist

I mean...he's definitely in the conversation...campaigned his whole career there so that helps him, and had many successes and few faults...some others maybe with higher successes but no one with really 'more' successes and most have more 'minuses' at 160 than GGG...not to mention he is the most recent 'great' at 160, and athletes tend to get better as time goes on.

Certainly fair to mention him with other past greats, either on resume and especially on film...idk how some tout some past guys like they are invincible after seeing them on film...and people seem to overrate some resumes of the past compared to GGG's, and then overlook some of those guys' minuses as well.

Elfa.g should be banned if anyone should be lol

[Boxing_1013]

I agree.
And Canelo schooled him in the 2nd fight.
That's what I saw.
The longer GGG waits, the better Canelo will be.

Man you have no idea what you're watching lol...how did you score fight 2?

[Boxing_1013]

Well first we have to assume Banks is speaking on behalf of GGG, which I would say is likely.

If that is true, then I would say it probably comes down to GGG not wanting Canelo to dictate to him when they are going to fight...kind of an ego thing, and all these guys have big egos...kind of like you wanting to take a girl out and then she finally comes to you and says 'OK I'm ready, let's go'...and you may say, hey bit.ch, that's not how this works.

I think it says GGG is not really worried about his decline much either...but again that is probably an ego thing...he probably thinks he is still as good as ever, despite aging...surely he is aging/declining now but maybe he still has a few good fights left...fighters are usually the last to know...

I don't really see the angle that he is scared of Canelo...if he thought he was done he would probably hang 'em up and not even risk fighting a guy like Kamil...you can't have one foot in and one foot out.

So yeah if Banks is speaking for GGG, which I would say is likely...I think it is just bravado from G, basically trying to have some say in the whole situation.

I would like to see the fight sooner rather than later, but the truth is that another 6 months or so should not completely change GGG as a fighter...I want to see fight 3 because I would like to see them fight until one of them gets stopped, ala Marquez Pac...and the longer we wait for fight 3 then we may never get to see that type of finish.

Will be interesting to see what fights happen the rest of this year...hopefully we don't get a new wave of corona in the fall which causes further issues.

Golovkin is at the end, can't make the powers that be the long term money that Fraudnelo is scheduled to generate. Fraudelo is scheduled to generate hundreds of millions more for the crooks. GGG had to play along with the script to get his farewell overdue payday. Boxing is a business and it's all rigged now.

[JakeTheBoxer]

He can`t get a decision in USA. And he can make a good money fighting other guys.

Man you have no idea what you're watching lol...how did you score fight 2?

It was a close fight.
I just thought Canelo put on a masterclass performance.
But honestly, I've only watched it once.
But sometimes judges score fights opposite of one another.
