    Money! It’s as simple as that. Nobody gives a shit about those guys and they’re probably getting paid peanuts tonight. Canelo makes more in one fight than they will combined tonight so of course they would love to fight him and get paid. This is prize fighting after all.
    If that's the case and they're queuing up, why is he talking a GGG rematch? Because they can't be fucked with Canelo and Oscar any more. That's why Canelo ends up fighting a joke like Khan. That made him a laughing stock.
    No doubt you'll come back with "same as GGG fighting Brook....." but it's not. GGG didn't want to fight Brook, but your other mate and his Dad shit himself and lost his pen and they never had time to arrange anything else.
    Canelo / Khan was a calculated circus act load of bollocks.

    Knocking out Khan was funny and it added to both the bank account and the highlight reel. Not sure how knocking a guy cold makes you look bad... but if that’s the logic I’ve come to expect from this place. I honestly don’t care if Alvarez and Golovkin beat up Welterweights as every fighter takes a soft fight now and then. You can defend Golovkin for it but he’s the champion (apparently) he should be defending against people in his own division

    Golovkin came for Eubank but had to settle for Brook.

    Canelo fought diva Khan.

    Knocking out Khan was funny and it added to both the bank account and the highlight reel. Agreed

    Not sure how knocking a guy cold makes you look bad... but if that’s the logic I’ve come to expect from this place. Well you're in luck as I'll explain it to you. The knockout doesn't make him look bad, the fact that they had to resort to not only fighting somebody 1 1/2 to 2 weights lower, but someone widely recognised as
    A. Chinny
    B. Feather fisted
    C. Not in the top 10 of his own weight ffs. And
    D. The closest thing to Lord Lucan in Boxing.


    I honestly don’t care if Alvarez and Golovkin beat up Welterweights as every fighter takes a soft fight now and then. Liar! You are forever digging out GGG for fighting Brook!
    You can defend Golovkin for it but he’s the champion (apparently) he should be defending against people in his own division See, you do care! Like I said, Golovkin wanted a fight, nobody wanted to fight him. He had to find a late replacement because your mate and his Dad bottled it (I notice you've chose to ignore that fact, because you have no answer as to why your little Bum boy superstar was scared as fuck!)
    Golovkin has no previous for picking smaller guys , whereas Oscar constantly cherry picked smaller guys than Canelo for fights with his little "Caneloweight" matchups.
    That little option has now been shut off as he won't be making less than 160 anytime soon.
    So, the only catch weights he'll be doing are between 160 & 168. He's already done The obvious one in JCC Jr. so good luck with that.

    Here's a wild idea for Canelo, fight a top contender at middleweight Shat even a mid ranker would be fine. This talk of him slinking back to 154-CW or having guys come to him is kinda silly. After all didn't he just "beat" the number 1 man at 160 in some eyes, well maybe two eyes, but hard to argue he proved he more than belongs, won no less but be ok with him running back to his safe-space with a straight face simply because he can make a payday and needs a reset.

    Love your post, but... GGG actually actually does have a sizable history of picking smaller guys.

    Just look at all the guys from 154/147 and you’ll understand what I mean.

    Also, I think people get caught thinking of size in limited ways. A person can hunch over and contract their traps/rhomboids/chest and make themselves shorter/narrower like GGG does or stick their chest out and high to make themselves appear as big as possible as most men will do.

    I’m not saying GGG is huge, but he fought at 165 as a child. He’s not tiny. Most grow into their real size. He shrank into his real size. This suggests if he stops training he will get big fast. So not so small.

    So, I asked a question and you took 3 paragraphs to avoid an answer.
    As for "he fought at 165 as a child, etc.etc.
    Andre Ward fought in the amateurs at LHW, fought most of his career at SMW, Bellew fought as an amateur at HW, fought most of his career at LHW.
    Some guys when they move from amateur to pro go down a weight, because they are training much harder, eating better and consequently are leaner.
    Some obviously go the other way it's just the way it is.
    But anyway, apart from Brook, GGG bona fide MW's at the MW limit. Some even went up in weight as they were BIGGER than him (Murray for example.)
    I can't think of any smaller guys he cherry picked , but I'm sure you'll let me know if I've missed anyone.

    The worst thing about Canelo is that at the prime of his career he is already In this "diva like status" of fighting twice a year when he should have fought this December.

    We all now have to wait 8 months for the rematch..8 months!

    GGG is the undefeated champion and it's silly that he has to accept the B side status which is quite ridiculous when he's prepared to fight sooner.

    Canelo is a good fighter, but with its obvious the whole Golden boy team are trying to drag this rematch out so GGG gets old.

    I still found the first fight entertaining with Canelo making the quality shots but he should run with the momentum and fight someone else in the interim.
