Gennady Golovkin accuses Canelo Alvarez and Oscar De La Hoya of being longtime cheats

[walrus]

Damn talk about preflight hype. Unfortunatley it's too serious, I wouldn't blame big drama show from backing out.

[Gandalf]

Me too, Walrus. GGG already beat Canelo and he is not helping the sport if he goes ahead and fights Canelo. Leave Canelo's reputation in shatters and go on and fight Saunders instead. It's easy for me to say, but sometimes making a stand is more important than taking the money. You fight a cheat and just maybe the cheat holds the aces on you like Margarito against Cotto. Cotto was obviously the much better boxer, but a cheat stacks the deck in his favor. Could just be pre-fight hype but it would be great to see GGG pull out.

I agree i think Golovkin should refuse to fight him and make a real stand here, regardless of whether Canelo knowingly cheated or not he still had it in his system while in training so clearly has an unfair advantage anyway.

It's a shame this has all happened because i was really looking forward to this rematch which i think would have been better than the first fight.

I agree that the potential for it to be better than the first is certainly there. If anything this should motivate him mor,e and while i would totally respect him blowing ginger nuts out, it would kind of be like shooting himself in the foot money wise. It's corrupt and I am not sure the history books would remember it as a stand against cheats, it would probably go down as a duck, which it would not be. Hate being cynical but money talks.

GGG is saying these things to hit Canelo in the pride which he's counting on Canelo having so he'll stand and fight like a "true Mexican" (a la Erik Morales, MAB, JMM, JCC, Salvador Sanchez, etc) because in the last fight Canelo fought in a very negative manner. If Canelo stands and fights, tries to trade then odds are GGG the naturally bigger guy is going to get the better of him.


It's just that simple

I love it. This is what all fighters should do when their opponents cheat. Call them out!

Yes, GGG should have called him a pussy years ago.

Precisely. Unfortunately, past histories cannot be ignored or swept under the rug. Let's go back to when Canelo was avoiding GGG with the supposed "marinating" BS, or when supposedly he was trying to drag GGG down to 154 because he (Canelo) wasn't (cough)... big enough. Then somehow he mysteriously shows up and fights Chavez Jr., another weight-manipulating cheat, at 170. Only when he tests those waters does he agree with what the rest of the civilized world already knew a long time ago, that he can very well fight GGG at 160. Some fans like to pretend this type of shit doesn't happen, especially if their favorite fighter is involved..... but it does. So in MY opinion, if you are a habitual weight-manipulating cheat, who as Miles said..... "stacks the deck in his favor".... then any other type of cheating cannot be beyond your reach. These type of fighters will seek every single advantage over the sun to make sure the outcome is predetermined. Corrupt judges (CJ Ross, anyone?), weight advantages, plaster in the gloves, even PED's if they can get away with it, or use some BS excuse like consuming tainted meat. It's tendencies, and they should not be ignored.

The rematch must have a knockout.

I wanted Canelo to win the first time but I can't stand drug cheats..GGG must use every inch of his 35 years to annihilate Canelo and send him back to 154..or retirement.

This is truning out like Usain Bolt v Justin Gatlin,

(knight in shining armour, hero and saviour of boxing v pampered diva and drug cheat)

This makes the fight even bigger than the first!
