And rightfully so. Now without help from the drugs Canelo is a diminished fighter and he knows it.

We'll see ...

Clearly, nobody cares.

Look at those fighters...…..It wouldn't be bad if he had some good names in between but you are making my point and GBP.

What is the maximum weight GGG could have gone to?

I don't know his max. I think he could have fought 168-175. He may be light but those wins would make him look better because he is giving up something to become great.


I don't have a problem with one wt fighters if the division is stacked. But when you don't have any threats in your division I don't understand why you wouldn't move up to challenge yourself.

Brook moved up to fight GGG to try to do the unthinkable.

Amir Khan did the same thing, they both lost but at least they gave it a shot.

Loma moved up to beat Linares.

Those are people trying to separate themselves from other champions and so called P4P fighters

How is GGG pricing him self out? Explain.

1. GGG did pretty good on cinco de mayo lots of mexican fans saw the fight.

2. GGG won last fight has most of the belts - unbeaten

3. Clenelo was cought using peds and was suspended.

Explain how GGG is pricing him self out?!

explain how many ppvs ggg sold on 5 de mayo?? there is your answer...
canelo is a ppv fighter, ggg is not, canelo can keep selling ppvs for another 10 yrs, ggg not many more...
canelo can fight th vanes of the world on ppv, ggg cant make much out of his mandatories..

[icha]

Did you read the article? GGG brings more to the table now than Cotto did then. GGG-Canelo is a way bigger fight than Canelo-Cotto. The gate money AND PPV money prove it. Both much higher for GGG-Canelo. Please, stick to the facts.

the vanes fight pretty much proves it lol...

Go for Charlo, Loeffler.
Cnelo is a huge underdog.
Why would GBP care about this "fair offer" you're talking about?
They'd rather move on and wish that you and GGG evaporate.
You don't get it.

[sportbuddha]

You guys agreed to the deal when it was for May 5. If it was good enough then it should be good enough now.

No, that’s not how anything works, he agreed and was a professional and did everything to prepare etc and then earn’t a lot less because Canelo screwed it up. This is a new deal, Canelo didn’t honour the last deal.

[otrocubiche]

before this ggg/canelo thing started, about 3-4 years ago, I liked both boxers, now I can't stand either

[Scipio2009]

Ward went down in weight, not up.
Mayweather went up in weight when he was 28. What fighters were there at SMW compared to MW 8 years ago?
Jack started at 175.
Already discussed Toney and Hopkins.
Leonard moved up in weight after a 3 year delay.

Again, not every fighter NEEDS to make the jump.

Andre Ward won his Olympic gold medal at his walk-around weight of 171-173lbs; the moment he turned pro, he basically fought 9 of his first 10 fights at/near 160lbs, before then moving up.

Gennady Golovkin won his Olympic silver at middleweight (165lbs) at the age of 22, having competed at that top amateur level and at that weight since he was 20.

The man's been at the exact same weight for basically 16 years, including the stretch through the early to mid 20s where most normal folks physically fill out, and yet that's supposed to be seen as normal?

BBB side got a more than fair offer considering he’s an HBO fighter without Canelo.
He’s making more than Canelo did against Floyd when Canelo was a much bigger draw at that time.
