Which fight is worse?

Split down the middle honestly. Khan was in all actuality dented, vulnerable and seemingly clinging to that elusive "event" what ever the cost. On the other side we knew Canelo was a con at middle. An imposter. Basically lowered expectations. With Golovkin he was the adult in the room when Cotto and Canelo came up at middleweight. He was respected and held to higher standards. I don't begrudge a guy a payday but this is only duplicating Canelos cash grab. Brook is a helluva fighter really banking on a single high profile win who himself has already rebounded in a foty candidate with Thurman. The no in between or credible build to division is what gets me. Many of the top guys named at least made pit stops at 154 while some who did not were knocked senseless.

Khan was schooling Canelo and had he won a decision you would not use such fodder . It is obvious you dislike Canelo. As Danny DeVito says "Garbage"' " I'm the trash man!

What school was that, clown College? Everyone with functional gray matter knew that farce was a matter of time not "if". Canelo is a spoiled lil tart and what he and Golovkin have in common now is needing smaller less proven fighters to bank on and ride the push afterwards. Its a joke. Oh and DeVito hasn't had a hit movie in years and was funniest while intoxicated on David Lettermans show . FACT!

[Primo Carnera]

Yeah alright, Khan was schooling Canelo , like he "schooled" Garcia for about 2 minutes. Oh, and then he got clean sparked out! GROUNDHOG DAY!

Canelo has made a career of beating up smaller guys not in his league. Matthew hatton, Archie Solis and so on. Golovkin has spent the last few years trying to get every middleweight on the planet into the ring. Big difference.

Team Golovkin only took this fight because they're so far down the line with negotiations and they've mentally already invested the money they're going to make from the Sky PPV.

The last 10 years . Where's the beef ? All salad opponents, if GGG wanted a challenge he would make his management team create one. He is just a big fish with the wrong promotional company which has no one else. Stop the excuses 10 years and that resume of opposition..... Hope your Ol lady does not lie to you the same way

How do you create a world class pound for pound middleweight? Lego?

Who is the best in the 160 division? People thought Lemieux but he beat him easily. And Lemieux is the only top 160 guy who wanted to fight him. Jacobs and all the other beltholders want nothing to do with him.

Lemieux and Jacobs is your argument ? I am on then floor laughing. Sad case of wrong place at the wrong time. The division is a joke and being the princess at a troll pageant is no thing to boast about

How do you create a world class pound for pound middleweight? Have him knockout a series of average fighters ...... More like hype recipe. So after 10 years and no quality risk fight how many more years is ok with you?

And GGG has made a career of ten years beating ? Nobody , unproven commodity that has to fight a welterweight in their homeland for a good payday. He just handed Canelo his panties, now Canelo does not have to fight him at 160. What a stupid move how does this fight bring him closer to a Canelo fight? He should have fought Lara or Trout at 155 and demolished them as Canelo had a tough time with them. Until they GGG and. Canelo have common opponents GGG will not get the fight and rightfully does not deserve the fight. What has GGG done to warrant a Canelo fight at 160 when GGG wants. Canelo can fight him at 160 when he is good and ready. In the meantime GGG has to find real challenges one level up or down his work is done at 160 and that class is a complete joke and nothing to build a legacy on

Put the words "ducking", "Canelo", and "Golovkin" on Google and you'll get dozens of articles from all over boxing about Canelo ducking Golovkin. None of those critics from both inside and outside of boxing talk about Golovkin "warranting" a fight with Canelo. "Warranting" comes from the same dictionary as "marinating".... two words being conveniently used by Canelo and his team to cover up his blatant DUCKING of Golovkin.

Put any spin on it you want. Another poster put it perfectly. Canelo has made a career of fighting smaller guys. GGG has fought whomever they've put in front of him. That the quality hasn't been top-notch is not his fault. To my knowledge he hasn't yet ducked anybody.

All the whining by Canelo fans doesn't erase one indelible fact:

Canelo is completely suited to fight at 160 pounds. He's got the size and built to campaign at MW... but chooses to drain himself into smaller weights (a la JCC Jr.) in order to have that important 20-30 pound weight advantage on fight night. So why in HELL should Golovkin cave to Ginger's demands and go down to something less than 160? Bottom line is everybody and their brother thinks Canelo should MAN UP and fight Golovkin at 160. But he won't... 'cause he's scared shitless. So we fans get stuck with farces such as Canelo-Khan and now GGG-Brook. Both needless fights... both to be blamed on Canelo.

A little food for thought.....






Any questions?

[Kirkland Laing]

What has GGG done to warrant a Canelo fight at 160 when GGG wants.

Signed a deal with the WBC to fight him. Canelo signed the same deal but bottled out of it. Who the hell is there at 160 that is willing to fight Golovkin that Golovkin hasn't fought?

His work is done beating all the 160 marginal fighters. Time for him to step up and stop blaming Canelo for His lack of risk taking and move a weight class up
