    Yes he could fight Canelo, so where is he? Why didn't Canelo pick GGG instead of Khan?

    Canelo can come in at 155, or 130, what's the problem?

    The problem is that GGG thinks he's on the drivers seat for some odd reason.

    He's a mandatory, so he has some leverage because it's a mandatory not voluntary fight, learn the sport.

    You're an embarrassment, it's like being a football fan and not knowing difference between a field goal and a touchdown.

    Unfortuantely for you and Golovkin, the ABC belts are corrupt, and quite frankly pathetic.

    If you'd been following boxing as a die hard fan such as myself you'd not pay too much attention to these silly ABC belts when it comes to established stars.

    The problem is that Golovkin won't enforce his mandatory status for some reason (money). I have a hard time getting upset with Alvarez if Golovkin goes along with his bs.

    why fight at 155 for the mw title? makes no sense at all. lose one more pound and fight for the jr middleweight belt, if he is going to fight at any weight under 160.

    Why you ask? Because he can that's why he's the cash cow he can call the shots and he has the WBC backing as well.:deal

    I agree, I'm ticked off that both parties postponed this BS until June. But Canelo should be slammed too, if you're a champ you should fight other champs like Saunders or least freakin' Jacobs or Lemieux.

    We'll see who walks away as a coward from this mess in June, Canelo or GGG. One of them will be stripped of his belt.

    Canelo vs Cotto was a fight that had been anticipated for a very long time. In fact, other tha Pac-Mayweather, Cotto-Canelo was the most anticipated fight in years. The fight was bound to happen, it just so happened that Cotto had destroyed Sergio Martinez at a CW for the MW strap...

    Its not Canelo's fault Cotto was holding the WBC MW strap.

    When fighters reach this type of s****om they don't fight for belts, they fight for the fans and for money.

    :hat Some of these guys like to keep...

    STIRRING THE POT !!!

    Everyone should know by now that Canelo has a MANDATORY FIGHT with GGG after Khan.

    All this moaning over a "Catch Weight" bout is a waste of time, unless you are "trolling" !

    Now will Canelo accept the mandatory... that's TBD.

    But to keep pi$$ing and moaning over this thread nonsense is a waste of band width.

    Lol, a lot of silly anti-GGG stuff going on in this forum by non-trolls...

    Why the hell should the middleweight champ drain himself to 155 to fight another middleweight champ?

    odds are canelo would find a new reason to duck, should golovkin agree to 155. like i said, no reason at all to fight at 155, when one less pound makes him a two weight champ.

    It's not that he thinks he's in the drivers seat. He rejects the 155 pound limit.
