Comments Thread For: Golovkin Still Needs Canelo More Than Canelo Needs Him

This is such crap.

GGG has made millions. He is loaded. Sure he could make more money in a c fight than any other but $ isn't his problem.

Let's talk legacy. His legacy is MW. That's it. He isn't big enough for SMW unless he juices. He will lose to C at 168. And C isn't coming back down to 160. At 168 with his new body and his experience he's a damn monster.

So it's basically over between them. He won the first and may well have lost the second. But that's not bad against a fantastic HOF fighter in his prime. GGG has been ducked and ducked. His has nothing to be ashamed of in his legacy. And guess what, he is, not surprisingly, a f hero back home.

There is no real story here. Endof

the fact that there was controversy means it wasn’t a clean win. If it was so clean, people wouldn’t still be talking about wanting another fight over 2 years later.

It was competitive. Of course there are folks who want to see it again. And of course there will be disagreement on who won. That’s the nature of judging. Like I said, clean doesn’t mean everyone agrees because that will never happen.

"Bogus title defense record " 😂

GGG is done. That was evident in the Sergei fight. They're trying to put the wool over some eyes because he knocked out a bum, as usual, like hes fought in 95% of his fights. I hope Canelo fights some younger meat

neither of them need each other, they both rich & already fought two good fights & ggg a bit old now for nelo i think unless hes on some good stuff in his later years somehow

Canelo will be remembered for NOT taking the 3rd fight, immediately when it needed to happen. GGG is the only legitimate opponent Canelo has had in recent years, all other opponents have looked like sparring partners. Also, In the eyes of most Boxing Fans and the Media, Golovkin is 2-0 against Canelo (you can argue a Draw on the 2nd fight, but I didn't see enough from Canelo to win the 2nd fight). At this stage, if Canelo does eventually take the 3rd fight when GGG is nearly 40 years old, he won't get the credit he could have earned by taking an immediate trilogy (If Canelo happens to win convincingly by beating an old man, hence, take the fight ASAP or lose any credibility).

GGG is 0-1-1 against Canelo. Quit trying to make your own personal facts.

Pac-Morales 3 is exactly how Canelo-GGG 3 goes. Pac doesn't get much credit for beating Morales 2 of 3. If you didn't appreciate the W in the 2nd fight, nothing in third fight could change your mind. Canelo does more for his legacy fighting Benavidez than GGG. Move on!

GGG could move up against one of the 168lbers to set the stage as Canelo faces his mandatory, but I doubt he does it because he's never been that guy. Matter of fact when Canelo came knocking in Spring for a return fight between the two, team GGG sent them away preferring to prioritize a scrub fight over avenging his loss.

Triple G, will be back, and Canelo will duck GGG for as long as he can. But make no mistake, if the fight does happen, Canelo is "GOING DOWN" The Ukrainian has seen how the Latino world operates. GGG is the Latino favorite and has been for years. A "NO NONSENSE" fighter, and Canelo is jealous of the Latino fan base for GGG. This will be a "Fight of the Century " GGG is more Focussed than ever. He'll do permanent damage to Canelo
and the Irish Mexican knows it!!! Don't RUN!! Mexicans know a REAL FIGHTER, and Canelo ain't it.
