    That's my guy from DC.

    I'm sure my coach won't take the fight! He can't win this one

    If Wade is GGGs next opponent it's going to be nearly impossible to get excited about the fight. Wade is too inexperienced for Golovkin.

    Historically it has been done by George Foreman after his lost to Ali.

    He fought 5 men in one night. GGG could pull it off.

    Too many reasons to cite. Different sets of values, beliefs etc. But that's their problem not mine.:yep

    Well this fight sucks. I like that the IBF are strict about their mandatory fights but their rankings tend to suck big time

    Canelo is next in line. Why should he move up and fight DeGale for peanuts only to give up his mandatory position to one of boxing's biggest draws? Canelo is p4p higher than DeGale.

    Not even good for a fighter to move up and down in weight.

    Don't think he wants to get stripped. Also going up to 168 and then back down to Canelo in September might not be so easy at 34

    So he's going to fight canelo at 155, or a 80/20 or 90/10 split?

    Oscar has said a lot of things. I think he is quite confident that the WBC wouldn't dare strip Canleo though so he can probably get away with saying it

    We're not seeing Canelo/GGG anytime soon, 2017 earliest. I guess GGG fans are fine with Lemieux being the best name on GGG's resume when he retires :lol:.

    It's the fight that needed to happen. Honestly, **** the IBF, espectially after that Fury bull****.
