If canelo chickens out......

[brocktonblockbust]

...and refuses 160....

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I think Canelo knows GGG is getting on a bit, already. Canelo is what - 25/26. He's got time on his side. He'll wait him out until he's either visibly declined or tight at the weight.

Hopefully Golovkin can Lacy this imposter at 36 if need be. Canelo is a hype job and backed by orange dildo man and the Horribly Biased Organisation.

Lol

Great name for Oscar.

Canelo is Mexican and pride alone would mean he would face GGG because he would be seen as a laughing stock in his community.

I personally like "Cañelo" (Can-yellow)

That's the only thing that gives me hope that the fight will happen. If he doesn't, it'll follow him the rest of his career and after.

Canelo should face GGG and I forget whether he is the lineal champion or not so the only thing to do is,"Prove it!" GGG is not at fault if the middleweight division is not up to snuff in the eyes of those writers and naysayers whose only joy in life is to be a pain in the ass hoping someone takes them seriously. Slap them please. Snap out of it. You are the 160 pound champion so stop manipulating weight standards and go back to the division you were a big fish in where you will be considered devastating and not an ordinary guy trying to make everyone believe he is great. Go have some lunch and make sure your promoter is not mistaken by the chef for the main course, "Chicken Delahoya." Well I am going yo dinner now after a forty five minute workout and you can bet I am not having chicken.

You cant get away with catchweights for unification bouts. As the mandatory challenger the Kazak is entitled to 160. Its written in stone.

The Wbc has repeated its demands on 15 days to either agree to fight Golovkin, vacate or be stripped. This was first reported in February. No need to repeat the order just honour it for a change. Its time for this Cherry to shit or get off the pot.

It's refreshing that more fans have grown weary of this catchweight nonsense. Oscar really believes he can spin it in a way to make it appear that GGG is ducking because he refuses to drop from his natural weight when in fact that it's the clearly the opposite.

He's trying to put the pressure on GGG, but he's underestimating fans' intelligence. Plus GGG is a huge fan favorite right now.

Personally I think it may go a touch longer than some think and Saul shouldnt be written off so easily as a walk over. He has a good history a tough one, right from the beginning,fighting grown men as a pro at 15 after a long amateur career, but he has got it a touch easier only lately now he has some say in it all through Oscar.

SAC/ GGG could be a touch like Phillips Tszyu was. At 160 coming in at 175+ it could suit an inside go to war early sort of fight plan, cause there is no way in hell Saul dances his way out or around GGG and being Mex with pride and fans there says war, so why not plan and train for it?

He could be better suited to have some beef as protection and aim to get tight in and choke out some ggg movement and power and step in closer behind range and take a hit to return some giant ones in the gaps and make it a nose to nose war; something GGG hasnt had to adjust to as yet as a pro. GGG is great transferring power while moving and catching in combos after damage brings guard down and will probably win, but so far he has been looking great while getting it all his own way in there.
I want to see him tested for real even more than I want to see Canelo stretched to the limit.

[brocktonblockbust]

As much as Saul may be ready now, do you think GGG has any fear?

It is bad that Canelo has not fought GGG but he got the belt in november near the end of the month. If he fights him with in this year that means he took him on with in a year which is what most fighters do. As for the face fighter bit Canelo has wins over Trout,Lara,Kirkland and Cotto those are better then anything GGG has done in his whole career. GGG is favored and all but Canelo has not been hurt what so ever since i have watch him so it will be interesting. GGG better win because if not he was nothing but a can crusher this is the only elite fighter he has faced should be good though.

I think the biggest problem is that golovkin has been the interim wbc champ since 2014 and is trying to unify the belts, so he had been waiting for a long time. A lot of that time was from when martinez or cotto was champ though and that seems to have carried onto canelo, which is slightly unfair on him. I think the wbc are the ones that are really to blame here, they keep allowing guys whether it be canelo or cotto to side step golovkin and fight at these crap catchweights.

I don't think canelo is quite ready for golovkin yet and he needs to work his way up and actually fight some real middleweights before he gets in there with ggg but he and his team have backed him into a bit of a corner by taking on khan and having the belt, it's going to look very bad for him unless he takes on golovkin next ... I am a big fan of canelo, I really like the way he fights so I hope this fight happens soon and at 160lbs, I also think it will be a lot more interesting than people think, it will make for great viewing !
