Re: hows about Canello v Billy Joe Saunders?
It would be a decent fight but the issue for me is the mandatory thing. Canelo has to fight GGG first. I think Golovkin has waited long enough. So much that even that the WBC who views canelo as their champ had to give GGG some kind of acknowledgement with a champ status/ belt for what he's been doing in the ring. Its seemingly unavoidable and then canelo says GGG hasn't earned his shot. This just appears to be dodging.
Saunders said he wasn't ready for GGG before and then started yapping after GGG walked away, but i'm willing to give him a reprieve, he just became champ at the time and its his first opportunity.If canelo fights him and beats him, we go through this whole stalling thing all over again. So i think Canelo needs to fight GGG next or give up the strap. No stips, which has already started in my opinion (Maybe my feed was different than everyone else's, but I saw Canelo invite GGG to the ring afterward but didn't see him say boo or confront him on a mic. Then De la hoya is chirping from the back about private negotiations only and about calling him tomorrow. After how the biased judges had canelo ahead against khan. Now they want to have the fight in TEXAS of all places.
If Canelo gave up the belt and fought sanders for the wbo, i think sanders could do ok but i wonder if he could hurt canelo. Also keep in mind, Canelo isn't leaving North America , so Saunders would pretty much have to come here and knock him out cold just to get a victory.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
