Canelo to vacate WBC title: I will fight ‘GGG,’ and I will beat ‘GGG’ but I will not be forced into the ring by artificial deadlines | Boxing News | Fightnews

Canelo is basically saying "don't have a belt anymore so therefore I can fight at my own weight class"

For a guy who fights full time in some 'artificial' weight class I really don't see the problem with artificial timeline.

Haha, will be interesting to see his next move, as there are a good few guys who could beat him at 154 also.

I guess this is just their plan to try to get golovkin to come down to 155, I think this fight could still happen depending on what golovkin wants..GGG was paid 2 million for his last fight and canelos opponent(khan) was paid 13 million... I suspect they overpaid khan so they can say look how much canelos opponents get paid in an effort to strongarm ggg down to their weight because golovkin probably isnt going to be making super money even with the wbc belt.. Nice negotiating techniques.

I am glad canelo has lost the belt though, still hope that the ggg canelo fight happens soon.

hno: For a guy who fights full time in some 'artificial' weight class i really don't see the problem with artificial timeline.

“after much consideration, today, i instructed my team at golden boy promotions to continue negotiating a fight with gennady ‘ggg’ golovkin and to finalize a deal as quickly as possible. I also informed the wbc that i will vacate its title. For the entirety of my career, i have taken the fights that no one wanted because i fear no man. Never has that been more true than today. I will fight ‘ggg,’ and i will beat ‘ggg’ but i will not be forced into the ring by artificial deadlines. I am hopeful that by putting aside this ticking clock, the two teams can now negotiate this fight, and ‘ggg’ and i can get in the ring as soon as possible and give the fans the fight they want to see.”

lol

The irony through this entire waste of time and all the fronting and posing is that Alvarez never needed the freakin thing.

Canelo is turning out to be an out and out pussy, I've always backed him and said that I rated him (not enough to beat GGG, but still thought highly of his abilities) with this he has just showed himself to be a complete and utter fraud

I hope GGG tells him to go fuck himself if he asks for a catchweight

Of course, it was nice to have but not necessary... because when push came to shove, its all about money. He dropped the belt because if this goes to a bid GGG automatically gets 45%.. So they drop the belt and try to negotiate, strictly based on PPV and will try to get team GGG to take 30%

GGG comes down to 155 he's an IDIOT.

Good, GGG is too good to continue wasting time. Better opponents are what he needs, not frauds who aren't near the best at any weight so they hide between weights.

Andrade would dominate Canelo, the twins would beat him now too. A couple other fighters have a shot at beating Canelo at 154 too and he would be about 4th-6th at best at MW. Let GGG finally get all the belts so he can move on to a division worthy of him. MW has sucked for 8/10 of its history. Most overrated division ever.(maybe HW is more overrated historically but it seems like many are willing to admit HW usually sucks where as MW usually sucks and it doesn't get called on sucking)

I mostly agree with this, although I'd give Canelo a small chance against those guys. No idea how he would deal with Andrades jab(one of the best in the sport) though.

Canelo has wins over Trout and Lara who are the top of the division so i do not see how he can be lower that just seems like you are hating on the dude. I am not happy about the fight now happening but to say he not top guy when he beat the best at 154 kinda funny.
