Lmao.Originally posted by TonyGe View PostThere is no mythical A side with the power to demand and expect to get
every term of negotiations. Life don't work that way. It's two guys trying to get the best deal for themselves. Canelo has drawing power and Golovkin had the titles. Very few Middleweight title holders have ever defended their title at a catchweight. Golovkin made it clear on camera during an ESPN interview that he would only fight Mayweather at a catchweight. That's directly from the fighter not his trainer or promoter. So far he's stuck to that. Personally no title should change hands at a catchweight fight be it Golovkin or anyone else. Canelo and Golovkin ended up fighting twice the fans got to see it so what the problem.
Canelo made 152 for Floyd
Cotto made 145 for Pacman
Sergio made 159 for Cotto
JCC Jr. made 164 for Canelo
Margarito made 150 for Pac (and a rehydration clause)
Pavlik made 170 for BHop
RJJ made 170 for Trinidad
Geale made 157 for Cotto
The point is:
Catchweights have been used in boxing for a LONG time and the "A" side gets the benefit of the negotiations. Do you need me to explain why Canelo was "A" side? It'll be a short discussion.
These GennadyCUCKS stay ducking and for good reason.

By the way what's up with this??
Canelo made 152 for Floyd
Cotto made 145 for Pacman
Sergio made 159 for Cotto
JCC Jr. made 164 for Canelo
Margarito made 150 for Pac (and a rehydration clause)
Pavlik made 170 for BHop
RJJ made 170 for Trinidad
Geale made 157 for Cotto
Danmed near everyone of the guys on this list that gave up weight lost their fight. JCC looked like the walking dead against Canelo. Is that why you wanted so desperately for Golovkin to fight Canelo at a catchweight?? Like I said Golovkin won the weight issue in negotiations and Canelo came out ahead fianancially. A result both guys could live with. Don't know why your so upset that they fought at the middleweight limit. Your going on and on about this weight issue even though the fight got done. As it was they were competitive fights. Obviously Canelo had been sandbagging over weight for quite a while since he had to fight over the JM limit numerous times and now is willing to take on a 168 pound champion. I have to acknowledge though that Fielding isn't very good.

You are 100% right. Nobody has to bend to the "A" sides demands, but they can't turn around and whine about being ducked in the same breath.
Gennady was offered fights with Cotto and Canelo, but he refused to bend. Gennady's Loss.
He did later get one of the fights he wanted on his own terms, especially the rematch (55-45 split which was up from the 65-35 originally proposed), but he can't whine that anyone ducked him.
My original post was made at this clown for suggesting Canelo "waited" for Gennady to get "old". No. Canelo didn't fight at 160 until 2017. That fight was against JCC Jr. at a CW of 164 and the CW was for JCC - not Canelo. Canelo also fought Golovkin in 2017.

TonyGe can't grasp "A" demands. Like when Floyd beat Oscar...Floyd overcome additional hurdles (fight at 154 pounds - Floyd never fought there at the time, Floyd wearing gloves picked by Oscar, using a smaller ring size). Floyd took all of those additional hurdles and won. Guess what? Floyd became the "A" side.
That's how it works, kid

You're dreaming from a haters point of view and nobody gives a sh@t about your opinion.
He also lost in the defense department, and after the 2nd fight Canelo showed us who actually controlled the ring. He also won in connect percentage.
But GGG landed more jabs. Lol
Press row? I trust my judgement much more than Ellie Sechback, Doug Fisher, Teddy Atlas and many press guys. Do you mean you always agree with the press' score? Lol

Although I dont like WonderWhiteBreadMan I agree with him on this topic. Gennady did not DUCK Ward, but it was a *miss because he could've fought him and instead passed.
Gennady's career, coincidentally, is full of misses.
He required smaller fighters like Kell Brook, Canelo, and Cotto to move up to 160 and never compromised even 1 pound (making Kell move up 13 pounds instead of 10 pounds).
He also required a CW with SMW Ward at 164, but also offered to fight SMW Froch at 168 and SMW/LHW JCC Jr. as high as 172.
Being hypocritical is a sure fire way to raise some eyebrows...and Gennady didnt help his legacy by avoiding tough fights over weight since literally all of his fights have only ever taken place at 160.
Theres nothing wrong with fighting in one division your whole career, but you cant start labeling guys above and below your division as "ducking" since you're hypocritical about who you would move up/down for
And actions speak louder than words. Gennady moved all opponents to 160 so while he mayve suggested he could be flexible he never was. Always 160 no matter if you're a SMW or WW. Not a good look.Last edited by Bjl12; 11-08-2018, 06:14 AM.

There was no waiting. Once Canelo hit 160 he took on Gennady immediately, twice, and didn't need a tune-up despite the year long layoff between fights.
