Canelo goooooooone!!!

[Master]

I wanted Canelo to get battered too.

Now he has avoided a certain loss and will continue to fight with his loyal fans paying over the odds for him to beat Smith and Rhodes type opponents.

What is to say Canelo did not delibetaretly sabotage the fight?

Now I'm no fan of old ginger pubes but there are plenty of ways to get out of/delay/sabotage a fight other than failing a drug test and having a black Mark above your name for the rest of your career.

True but this way he will never be asked to fight GGG again. I know I am stretching the point but just when I thought I could not hate Canelo any more than I do, he does this.

I would like to see him banned for a couple of years. It's time to set an example and show people that cheating is not how you get things done. Would it be possible for Golovkin to sue him for loss of earnings or something like that? Golovkin already delayed fighting Canelo and now Canelo has cheated and pulled out. It's very messed up. I would be interested in really tightening the screw if I was GGG.

If GGG fights in May then his loss of earning will not be that much and I am sure insurance would not pay out never mind Canelo.

Just watched his statement on YouTube, apparently they are not cancelling the fight but just looking to postpone it until September

Ha! Sad but GGG would probably still be willing to fight Cownelo Alvaroid then. Saunders has offered to fight him in June at the earliest or fill in the September date.

​Fucking drug cheat should be banned for life, then charged with conspiracy to murder, just like they all should.

Canelo Reacts After GGG Rematch Cancellation

Canelo Alvarez has hit out at the media for tainting his name following the cancellation of his title rematch with Gennady Golovkin.

Golovkin was set to defend his*World Boxing Association (WBA), World Boxing Council (WBC), International Boxing Federation (IBF), and International Boxing Organisation (IBO) middleweight titles against the Mexican on May 5 after their first encounter ended in a split-decision draw.

However, trace levels of clenbuterol, a banned substance, was*found in two of Canelo's drug tests last month with the 27-year-old's camp citing the source as contaminated meat from Mexico.

Despite contaminated meat*being a common occurrence for failed drug tests in the past, Canelo was temporarily suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) before a formal complaint was filed against him.

Likely to be suspended from six months to a year for being a first-time offender, Canelo withdrew from the highly-anticipated rematch as Golovkin will now have to find a new opponent.

Canelo Alvarez still insists he is a clean fighter following the cancellation of his rematch with Gennady Golovkin.

"I am truly shocked by what has happened and I am lament this has caused people to have doubts about my integrity. I have always been a clean fighter," Alvarez said in a statement, as per MMAMania.

The former two-weight champion also expressed his displeasure at how certain*media labeled him as a cheat given the recent developments.

"It hurts that for mismanagement of information of sensationalist news my name is being tainted when I’ve always been a clean fighter that respects what he does, being disciplined and dedicated one hundred percent to his sport, it hurts me a lot," Canelo added in a press conference.

"But like I said before, I’m calm because I know who I am. I have nothing left to say beside that during this time, I’ll take more precautions, obviously after this passes, I will take more precautions to avoid this ever happening to me again," he said.

As for Golovkin, he still insists on fighting on May 5*and recently announced that news on an opponent will be revealed soon as he looks to tie Bernard Hopkins'*record for most middleweight title defenses with 20.

Meanwhile, World Boxing Organisation (WBO) middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders is ready to fight "GGG" but only in September.

The Briton's upcoming title defense against Martin Murray was postponed to June due to a hand injury but Saunders is open to a title unification fight for all the belts in the fall.
“I’d happily fight Golovkin for a sensible day for both of us. He says he wants to unify,”*Saunders told BehindTheGloves, as per BoxingNews24. "The Canelo fight's not happening. I’m now ready. I’m standing here in front of him."

"If I get in the ring with him, I want to make sure I take his belts, and I want to make sure I’m 100 percent for that. I’m willing to do it. Let’s be fair. Let’s play on a fair playing field. I’m willing to fight Golovkin. I’m willing to take Canelo’s place. Let’s book it for September. Let’s fight. September, if he wants to put pen to paper. One hundred percent in September, let’s get it on," he said.

Guys should have to 100 percent reset off of a suspension. Lose ranking and any 'postponement' opportunity. Make the spoiled twat get back in line. Blaming the media for his own stupidity, that's rich.

Thing about a cheater is.... you always end up wondering how far back it goes. Someone who blatantly cheats to get an unfair advantage in boxing didn't just wake up one day and decide to cheat all of a sudden. How far back does this go? Clenbelo has historically used the weight game to end up noticeably bigger than his opponent on fight night. So a logical question is, when did this cheating start? Damn right he should get suspended, lose his ranking, and a huge ass fine to go with it.

It'll be fucking massive. He's only ever made three or so million purses before his last fight. He made more in his last fight than he did during his entire career previous to the Alvarez fight and he would have made another tidy eight figure sum from the rematch. Now he's 36 and looking at having to fight guys like Charlo for two or three million. The person most upset by this cancellation is Golovkin, no doubt about it. Put yourself in his shoes. You've just lost a twenty million dollar payday and you now have a bunch of dangerous/tricky options for about ten percent of what you would have made for the rematch. Fancy having ten fights against Charlo/Saunders/Jacobs level people when you could have made the same money from the rematch?

Golovkin will be desperate for the rematch to happen and Alvarez really needs it now too. He's going to get at least a six month ban so Golovkin has to keep busy till next Cinco which is the most likely date for it to happen.
