So he’s withdrawn from the GGG fight. Just read his statement. He obviously is pleading innocence and ignorance , refusing to take any responsibility. Ok, he believes he’s innocent. Not fucking once did he apologise to his opponent for this fiasco!
I hope this fight is dead in the water and never rears it’s ugly head again.
Agreed
Ditto
Really sucks. The whole thing sucks. I was never big on canelo but he made fights interesting this sucks as I wanted to see big drama smash him
Good.
Golovkin shouldn't have had to face him again anyway, more interesting fights at 160, although not Spike, if true, he is gonna get butchered
If Golovkin wasn't the professional and bigger man that he is he could really turn Canelo into a media and fan piñata right now. But he won't and he needs to rid himself of Canelo think. He doesn't need him at all.
I was hoping to watch GGG pound Canelo into submission, so this sucks for me. Canelo won't suffer either, his fans will still pay to watch him fight a no hoper. Who can we consider as GGGs signature opponent now?
Ideally Charlo drops stay busy fight 3 weeks away and comes in already trained up, mandatory and champ get it done. Honestly I'd pay for that before a Canelo rematch. Then again Jacobs could do same and that's a rematch that surprisingly went silent. Also the only fight I had Golovkin losing by a point. :-X. But today that sounds like a fairytale with promotions etc. Andrade has been floated a lot but think Golovkin makes him a bug on the windshield.Quote:

Now he has avoided a certain loss and will continue to fight with his loyal fans paying over the odds for him to beat Smith and Rhodes type opponents.
What is to say Canelo did not delibetaretly sabotage the fight?
Now I'm no fan of old ginger pubes but there are plenty of ways to get out of/delay/sabotage a fight other than failing a drug test and having a black Mark above your name for the rest of your career.Quote:

Would it be possible for Golovkin to sue him for loss of earnings or something like that? Golovkin already delayed fighting Canelo and now Canelo has cheated and pulled out. It's very messed up. I would be interested in really tightening the screw if I was GGG.
If GGG fights in May then his loss of earning will not be that much and I am sure insurance would not pay out never mind Canelo.Quote:

Ha! Sad but GGG would probably still be willing to fight Cownelo Alvaroid then. Saunders has offered to fight him in June at the earliest or fill in the September date.Quote:
