Which fight is worse?

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

Thirty years ago you would have been saying the same thing about Hagler. He's the most avoided fighter of his generation. No ifs, no buts, no two ways about it.

Avoided .... it's obvious you know little boxing and are just a GGG groupie. Comparing GGG to Hagler ..... stop the drugs this is not a comical site. Hagler fought Hearns, Mugabe, Roldan, Duran, Antuofermo and Sugar Ray how is this avoidance?

I loved that era and would never compare GGG to Hagler. However, some things that should be said...

Hearns, Duran, and Sugar Ray ALL had moved up from lower weights. Hearns may have been a natural MW due to his size, but Duran and SRR were not. Also, Hagler had the luxury of having been around at a time when there was a bonanza of great opposition with which to make his legacy. GGG hasn't had that luxury... yet.

And why the insistence on having GGG move up in weight when he probably feels 160 is his best weight and maybe he wouldn't fare so well above that?

All of this goes back to Canelo. You defend Canelo tooth and nail because well........... well, because you're a fan. But it doesn't erase the fact that Canelo's body is that of a bonafide middleweight. Everybody on Planet Earth knows that. But just like JCC Jr. did, he chooses to squeeze himself into a weight class where he knows he'll step into the ring at a huge weight advantage over his opponent. There is no reason whatsoever why he can't accept a fight with GGG at 160. None whatsoever. Bringing up issues such as "deserving a fight with Canelo", or letting the fight "marinate", are just excuses to have Canelo avoid what the fans should get.

Would not expect anything less from a Cotto fan. Still bitter?

No. Just disappointed (but not surprised) at your weak response.
So basically when you have no answers you sidestep the question.[/QUOTE

I say this because I do not recall you saying anything about Canelo fighting Cotto before the fight you wer happy fot the opportunity to be happy in a Cotto triumph. Then Cotto loses and you have a problem, screw you Cotto & GGG. Real men face challenges . Amen for real fighters like Frampton and Crawford who stepped up in weight and dominated. GGG has no balls or desire to face a challenge. Same applies to Cherry picking Canelo with the exception he has fought marque names with advantages. Pac did the same manipulative things throughout his career and has millions to show. Name which fighter outside of Marquez early on that Pac fought in their prime? Name me a skilled athletic fighter he fought with true Knockout power? Name me a fighter Pac fought that had lateral movement with power. Pac feasted on stright foward fighters tailored to his style. The only good athletic black fighters he fought were powerless Mayweather and Bradley. Look at his resume after Marquez put him to sleep thei all safe bets that possess power average below the Mendoza Line. Now Pac adds an exclamation mark to his David Copperfield career. ( The Greatest Boxing illusionist ) avoiding Crawford to fight Vargas. Crawford has the traits Manny has always avoided, Young, at his peak, athletic, Quick, black, southpaw, and possess power.

Pac is now an ATG and Canelo gets eaten alive for stealing the recipe. GGG is also using the recipe but he gains notoriety. I defend Canelo because I am a Latino and finally there is a Latino fighter driving the bullshit bus. I am not a fan of his . Too bad Cotto or other deserving Puerto Rican champions never got the really big lights !!
