Canelo fails drugs test

[Master]

BJS To step in on May the 5th...

Hand injured or not...mmmm.

BJS is nobodies second choice.

Well, well, well....... when Mauricio Sulaiman himself has lost hope that the fight will go on.... that seems to be the final nail on the fight's coffin.

Everyone knows that Mauricio, like his dad before him, will bend the rules (or make his own) to give his own fighters a break. The Sulaiman dynasty has been kind to the likes of Canelo, JCC Jr., and other anointed fighters born with the silver spoon. But you can only f*ck up so often and so much... before "the Don" himself will turn his back on you. After all, some semblance of objectivity needs to be preserved for appearances sake.

GGG needs to get Ginger out of his head and move forward. Ginger's legacy is permanently tarnished, even as his legions of groupie fans follow him into the vast cheaters wasteland. GGG is still one of the most exciting fighters out there today, and even more important...... he's CLEAN. So f*ck Ginger, and full speed ahead. The huge PPV payday is gone, but there's a lot more, even better fights to be made.

Ahhh.... there's the Sulaiman we all know and love. Canelo "CANNOT" be found guilty of doping. Never mind due process and/or any evidence that may surface to the contrary. Canelo "CANNOT" be found guilty.
I knew good ol' Mauricio couldn't just leave well enough alone, and let the process take care of itself.

All the alphabet orgs have their share of corruption, but the Sulaiman-led WBC is the granddaddy of them all.

Is the fight going ahead or not?

[Kirkland Laing]

I can't believe Vegas are going to stop this fight happening. Golovkin must be devastated as well. That's a huge chunk of money he isn't going to make and he's not getting any younger.

"I am truly shocked by what has happened and I lament that this has caused people to have doubts about my integrity. I have always been a clean fighter," Alvarez said in a statement released by Golden Boy Promotions.
Addressing the press, Canelo added: "I first got the call from Eric Gomez - 'you tested positive. My first reaction was, 'there has to be a mistake.'
"I am sad and feel powerless that this fight can not happen now. I have nothing to hide. I want to be transparent.
"I will do whatever I need to do to demonstrate I have never (intentionally) taken this substance. I have always operated as a clean fighter. I have always taken clean substances.
"I respect the sport unconditionally and would never do anything to tarnish something I have given so many sacrifices for. It saddens me that people are accusing me of doing something improper.
"From here on out, I will take increased precautions to ensure this will never happen again. This hit me hard. If it helps other athletes to clear their name. I wish it hadn't been me."
On Golovkin's damning media conference on the situation, the two-weight world champion said: "What Golovkin or his team say does not bother me at all. They're not experts, doctors."

Same reaction from every single drug cheat...as far as I’m concerned Canelo is a POS and GGG needs a massive name to take his place on May the 5th.

There are multiple fighters willing to step up and fight GGG in a month. He needs to get things negotiated now so that his opponent has decent time to train. I really hope he doesn’t pick a nobody. At the very least pick Andrade who is willing to fight. Preferably someone better but he is the least I expect.

Thing is... Canelo left GGG in a bad spot. GGG understandably wants to go ahead with the May date, and it's a tall order to choose an opponent... go through with the necessary negotiations... and give the opponent sufficient time to train. As the previous post said.... Canelo is a gigantic POS.... and I hope his stock takes a corresponding hit. Unfortunately, it probably won't.

Can make it simple and choose Charlo, Charlo is willing to drop his scheduled fight. Jacobs is also set to fight right about the same time. I bet he’d be willing to drop his fight. There are options that can be ready

Agreed. I guarantee he can fight most top guys in the division if he wants. Most will drop whatever they are doing to fight GGG. I just have a bad feeling that he will pick some stuff.

Canelo banned for 6 months then

[powerpuncher]

Canelo banned for 6 months then

It’s a joke. It was supposed to be a year but because he cooperated it’s only 6 months. And it’s 6 months from the positive test so he can still fight in September.

So basically nothing happened to him. The GGG fight just got pushed back to September.
