Comments Thread For: Canelo Rejects Fighting Golovkin, Unless at 155-Pounds

[RetroSpeed05]

This is why boxing isn't a real sport...



It's like the Green Bay packers saying "we will play New England, but without gronk"


I would have more respect for guys if they just came out and said " I'm in no rush to fight ggg, the dude will kill me"

^^This is right on the money. Boxing might be the only sport where the star gets all the advantages and some fans don't give a fu*k how there favorite fighter gets a win. Whatever it takes i guess, no pride in a even playing field.

Of course they're going to drain him and if he wants that fight he is going to have to do it. What Bargaining Chips does he have? 150K PPV Buys? Tureano Johnson as his next opponent back on HBO Network?

His leverage is his mando status. Will Canelo let down Mexico once again by dropping that belt to avoid Ggg?

You could argue Canelo could easily fight at 160lbs due to weighing 172lbs fight night. Plus Golovkin never had to get to 155lbs in his career, who knows how it'll affect him?

Canelo knows this. BTW i'm not a huge fan of GGG in particular, I just want the biggest fights to me made in boxing properly.

So in other words, Golovkin can't move up and he can't move down. That, anyone from 154 to 168 call out pretty much shrunk to only 160.

So Canelo wants to dodge Golovkin for 1 or 2 more years? Grow a pair brah.

If this is true why is Canelo fighting for a MIDDLEWEIGHT title
Its laughable all the excuses being made NOT to fight Golovkin. Seems like a serious lack of cojones to me

[Andre Ward]

Canelo needs to fight a couple of fringe middleweights before he gets in with Golovkin. I wouldn't' advise him to jump straight into that fight.

Golovkin will get his belts they'll just strip the winner neither of them want it.

Canelo is fighting for the "Middleweight" Belt on Nov. 21. That means that should he win, he will be the Middleweight champion. Middleweight = 154-160. If he doesn't feel comfortable fighting at Middleweight then he should vacate the belt.

This catch weight nonsense is getting annoying. It's cowardly.

That Belt means absolutely NOTHING to Canelo. This fight overshadows what they're fighting for. He can drop that belt, head back down to 154 and fight for that Vacant 154 WBC Strap

Hell, Canelo could lose to Cotto and I guarantee he will be fighting for a title at 154 his very next fight somehow

[LacedUp]

Screw catchweights.

If you can't fight at the full weight, get the fuk out of the weightclass.

[Evil Abed]

Body not ready for 160. You mean you're not ready for GGG. Man up Mexican't.

He'll vacate.
