If canelo chickens out......

Canelo should face GGG and I forget whether he is the lineal champion or not so the only thing to do is,"Prove it!" GGG is not at fault if the middleweight division is not up to snuff in the eyes of those writers and naysayers whose only joy in life is to be a pain in the ass hoping someone takes them seriously. Slap them please. Snap out of it. You are the 160 pound champion so stop manipulating weight standards and go back to the division you were a big fish in where you will be considered devastating and not an ordinary guy trying to make everyone believe he is great. Go have some lunch and make sure your promoter is not mistaken by the chef for the main course, "Chicken Delahoya." Well I am going yo dinner now after a forty five minute workout and you can bet I am not having chicken.

You cant get away with catchweights for unification bouts. As the mandatory challenger the Kazak is entitled to 160. Its written in stone.

The Wbc has repeated its demands on 15 days to either agree to fight Golovkin, vacate or be stripped. This was first reported in February. No need to repeat the order just honour it for a change. Its time for this Cherry to shit or get off the pot.

It's refreshing that more fans have grown weary of this catchweight nonsense. Oscar really believes he can spin it in a way to make it appear that GGG is ducking because he refuses to drop from his natural weight when in fact that it's the clearly the opposite.

He's trying to put the pressure on GGG, but he's underestimating fans' intelligence. Plus GGG is a huge fan favorite right now.

Personally I think it may go a touch longer than some think and Saul shouldnt be written off so easily as a walk over. He has a good history a tough one, right from the beginning,fighting grown men as a pro at 15 after a long amateur career, but he has got it a touch easier only lately now he has some say in it all through Oscar.

SAC/ GGG could be a touch like Phillips Tszyu was. At 160 coming in at 175+ it could suit an inside go to war early sort of fight plan, cause there is no way in hell Saul dances his way out or around GGG and being Mex with pride and fans there says war, so why not plan and train for it?

He could be better suited to have some beef as protection and aim to get tight in and choke out some ggg movement and power and step in closer behind range and take a hit to return some giant ones in the gaps and make it a nose to nose war; something GGG hasnt had to adjust to as yet as a pro. GGG is great transferring power while moving and catching in combos after damage brings guard down and will probably win, but so far he has been looking great while getting it all his own way in there.
I want to see him tested for real even more than I want to see Canelo stretched to the limit.
