    What are you talking about?

    He has mandatory obligations, and Canelo was NEVER going to fight GG next.

    Open your eyes.

    If Oscar hadn't have secured the Khan fight, he'd have lined up somebody else. Oscar won't sit down with GG until he has to.

    Why would GG call his bluff in February, when he knows that they can't fight yet?

    Fight night weight does not make Canelo a MW...he's not fighting MW's like Gigi is.

    GGG wanted Ward at 164 but was willing to fight Chavez Jr at the full 168 limit.

    Canelo has fought better fighters than GGG and he's only 25.

    What was Golovkin doing at 25?
    Selling yak butter on the roadside.:lol:

    You have zero concept of the business side of things.

    Thats enough crying dude. Canelo has fought much better opposition than GGG and this is a good business move for Canelo.

    Fighting Amir Khan is a lot better than fighting C level guys like GGG does so often.

    Gotta love these guys prefacing their Canoli excuses by stating they are actually a Golovkin fan. Not buying it. :deal

    Thats why Canelo and Khan are getting paid Wall Street money while GGG is getting McDonalds wages.

    Someone there is does not have good concept of business.

    This is just crazy.

    1. How is Oscar dropping weight to fight Manny in his last ever fight, the same as GG dropping weight to fight the lineal belt holder of the division at a CW??

    2. They haven't even had negotiations yet, as the fight is in the distance.

    Do you understand?

    GG has a mandatory, Oscar wants to make some money.

    This is hard work.

    Great comfort for the fan - have another bull**** PPV but hey it's all good so long as Canoli and Khan are getting "Wall Street money". :dead

    Business acumen :rofl:rofl - sounds more like a bad episode of the apprentice.

    The LINEAL BELT THAT HE HAS AROUND HIS WAIST MAKES HIM A MW.

    I'm not crying, I'm scratching my head at your line of thinking.

    Of course it's good business for Canelo and Oscar. Again, they DON'T WANT TO FIGHT GG YET.

    GG has been fighting C level guys, and that's due to circumstances.

    GG would fight Canelo or Saunders in a heartbeat.

    Canelo earned his Wall Street money by fighting a long string of top opponents.

    GGG has fought a long string of has beens and C level opposition.

    What is he supposed to do?

    He's in a different position to Canelo.

    No it doesn't...not when he got that MW title from another fat WW.

    Canelo can't beat any real MW's..

    GGG
    Jacobs
    Quillan
    Saunders

    All beat him silly.

    He's supposed to compromise if he wants big $. Just like many top fighters do to get the big fights.
