Oscar rolling out the excuses already
So it appears now that De La Hoya wants to use GGG's willingness to once again lay it all on the line in June in an effort to Unify as an excuse for Canelo not to fight him later in the year. Desperate much?
De La Hoya Warns: Golovkin Fighting in June Derails Canelo Bout! - Boxing News
Re: Oscar rolling out the excuses already
GGG keeps on fighting........ Team Canelo keeps making excuses.
Re: Oscar rolling out the excuses already
What a cunt move from Oscar. GGG has been waiting for this last year and messed up his schedule.
GGG can beat BJS and take on Canelo is September, this is a poor excuse.
Unless Oscar guarantees the fight in September, Canelo should ignore Oscar.
Re: Oscar rolling out the excuses already
Dunno, it's a fair point. Apart from the fact they're completely overlooking/disrespecting Billy Joe there is a chance of getting injured. Plus it's a quick turnaround for Golovkin to go back into training camp/promote the fight.
If the Billy Joe fight is such a pointless foregone conclusion why make it?

GGG wants to fight at home, it is an easy match to make and GGG will have another belt.
Re: Oscar rolling out the excuses already
Why should Oscar/Canelo care what GGG's fight schedule is? It's obvious Oscar will use any excuse in the book to claim the fight has been "derailed." This is as transparent as it gets, and only diehard Canelo fans don't get it. If Team Canelo had been clamoring for a GGG fight from the beginning, this might be a bit more credible... but we all know that isn't the case.
Re: Oscar rolling out the excuses already
Who cares about the belt, it doesn't make a jot of difference to the fight with Canelo. Everyone is already on board that Golovkin-Canelo is THE middleweight championship fight, Canelo is the lineal champ.
Whether or not you believe Oscar is making excuses to swerve Golovkin, his reasons are valid. He doesn't want to sign his fighter to something that could be scuppered, this is standard par for the course business in boxing.
Ditch the Billy Joe fight if it's so meaningless. Simple.
Re: Oscar rolling out the excuses already
Who says the Billy Joe fight is meaningless? Team Canelo? Yeah ok. :rolleyes:
Team Canelo's specialty is empty talk. Canelo calling out GGG after he beat Cotto? Empty talk.
Captain Fishnets claiming they were letting the Canelo-GGG fight "marinate" before making it? Empty talk.
Team Canelo insisting GGG come down to JMW when Canelo is perfectly capable of fighting at MW or above? Empty talk.
They can't fight at 160, but they can fight at 164.5, whatever the f*ck that means.
DLH's posturing is empty and indefensible. Pure and simple.
Re: Oscar rolling out the excuses already
No Oscar said the opposite.
Team Golovkin are disrepecting Canelo and Billy Joe for obvious/already explained reasons.

The only way BJS can prove he is being disrespected by GGG is by beating him.
Canelo has been disrespecting GGG for years now.
Re: Oscar rolling out the excuses already
Team Golovkin is disrespecting Canelo?? :rofmaoal:
How, pray tell....... by continuing to fight on while DLH/ Canelo find more and more excuses NOT to fight him?
Sorry bro. The "Good Jokes" thread is on the Off Topic board.
Re: Oscar rolling out the excuses already
So let me see if I understand this correctly............
GGG is "disrespecting" (whatever the f*ck that means here) Canelo by fighting BJS in June.....
but Canelo is NOT disrespecting GGG by fighting JCC Jr. in May??!!??
This shit couldn't be made up by a stand-up comedian.
Re: Oscar rolling out the excuses already
Deny it all you want, what Oscar said was perfectly reasonable, doesn't matter a jot what happened in the past.
If the fight against Billy Joe is so easy that they can agree to fight Canelo and be ready for the promotional tour, media commitments and training camp within days of facing Billy Joe then they don't even need to risk something going wrong.
Re: Oscar rolling out the excuses already
Because the Canelo-JCC Jr. fight the month before has no risks of its own?
Seriously... do you buy it or do you just shovel it?
Re: Oscar rolling out the excuses already
If the Canelo fight can be guaranteed then GGG should forgo the Saunders fight. I heard that De La Hoya was considering a purse split now. Talk is cheap tho. Send the contract then Golovkin has something concrete to work with rather than just words.
