According to fat Dan. Looks like he will push the GGG fight back to 2019 probably. IMO, this will lose him a lot of momentum. He has already fought two fights we didn't care about and now he will be out for a while. I'm sure he'll have an easy tune up fight at 160 after all this.
2019? How absurd would that be? GGG should turn his back on the uppity, spoiled, not so little liar.
If you cant beat them , just wait till they are old ,it worked for Fury.
Where does 2019 come from? There was almost no chance he was going to fight again in 2016 anyways, but there are quite a few good fights out there for him aside from GGG, whether we like it or not. Does he even take one of the other guys next, is maybe the question. If he does move up to 160, Jacobs is about the only other guy he should be given a pass for, imo. Lemiuex is overrated and wouldn't stand a chance, but maybe not unlikely as he's also a Golden Boy fighter. I believe Jacobs no longer is?
2019? Now they're just taking the piss. GGG will be 35 next April. He has been fighting a long time with 350 odd amateur fights and 36 Pro fights. He will get old quickly and that's what Canelo is waiting for. This fight must happen no later than May 2017 or it's a waste of time.
I first saw this and thought 'fuck off it won't delay the fight by that much, but the way they are breast feeding Canelo it will be a lengthy delay.
They will probably give him an easy title defence at 154, then have a fight at Canelo weight, then have one or 2 at 160 and then move onto GGG.
so I think you could easily be talking about 3 or 4 fights before 'the big one'
Typically superstar fighters don't fight more than twice a year, so 2019 sounds about right, if Canelo decides to have 4 more fights before fighting GGG. SO that'll be 2 in 2017, 2 in 2018, and maybe it will be a May 2019 fight in Texas at 156 or 157 for the MW championship.Quote:

Is Canelo really the biggest draw in boxing? He lost his biggest fights and is inactive half of every round. He's like Carlos Baldomir with a bit of speed. This is probably why Donald Trump has to beat Clinton. They will be having HBO in Spanish next. Mind you it would be more bearable that way.
If GGG is anything like Hopkins then it will be a long wait for him to get old..If it's 2019 for Canelo then it looks as though GGG would have moved up by then or even retired..!GGG vs Jacobs? - Dec 2016GGG vs Eubanks? - May 2017GGG vs Saunders? - Sep 2017GGG vs Brook 2? - Dec 2017GGG vs 168? - 2018GGG vs Ward - 2019
GGG MUST forget about the fight, if Jacobs don't step up, forget about the MW's as well and go to SMW. End of.
It's so much money though..his team or any team would want Canelo.Quote:

Degale - World Champion , easy money and good money. if he's got the balls.
Ramirez - World champion and at least as much money as fighting Jacobs.
Groves - Despite not being a World Champ, good money. not sure he'd be that keen seeing as GGG already broke his ribs. but hey, that's only sparring.
Callum Smith - ditto. Doubt whether Matchroom would go down this route , they want him to be a World title holder. Stylistically and size wise, not a good fight for GGG, could be interesting.
Chavez Jr. - if they ever managed to get this twat in the ring, very good money, doubt Chavez would take it.
Abraham - Milk the golden egg one last time.
you could even add the Dirrells to that list, and they might make decent money.
What is there at MW?
Jacobs - he SAYS he wants it. we'll see.
BJS & Eubank - both a pair of loud mouthed chicken shit time wasters who don't deserve a chance to earn that money.
so like I said, if they can't get Jacobs to commit, Go up.
