    Yes thats true its the punches you don't see but my whole point here is canelo is FAR from being a big puncher and his record shows that

    When you fail to stop guys like hatton and rhodes and you fail to hurt past it cotto badly then you not a big puncher for me

    Canelo has only knocked out kirkland and khan thats shocking these guys have the worse chins in boxing

    If you are any sort of puncher you should spark kirland out with one shot ishida is not a big puncher and knocked him out with the first shot he landed he didnt need to tee of on his and build a sweat

    Canelo has a big name and following but lacks real power

    My suspicion that ggg fight would not happen in 2017 looks correct. Canelo will get that WBO belt and use it as leverage to stall the fight. Poor Khurtsidze he beat a US prospect and they just gloss over his win for money. F*ck the WBO bunch of crooks.

    Khurtsidze has a case to sue the WBO. He has been the nr 1 contender for a while now. And yet the WBO declared that his would not be "in boxing’s best interests".
    They literally picked the more popular fighter to be their mandatory.
    SUE THEIR ASS!

    Agreed. This is blatant corruption from the WBO. Khurtsidze has to sue. He earned his shot, his ranking through "FIGHTING in the 160lb division through his career" unlike Canelo, who thinks he can just walk into the 160lb division and get a title shot given to him.

    Absolutely disgusting, he already holds a belt at 154 so to rank him in another division ahead of other fighters is pure corruption.

    If the Andy Lee version of BJS shows up that night, he will put a boxing clinic on Canelo. Good version of BJS is a nightmare for Canelo.

    This time around BJS is keeping in shape, keeping that weight down. He was up to 215lbs of fat before the Akovov fight. Losing 50lbs would deminish anyone.

    To me, this is ****ing awesome.. now Canelo should be focusing solely on getting bjs in that ring to leave him beaten to a pulp and belt less.

    This avoids ggg having to waste a fight with bjs.
    So the ggg Canelo will be for ALL mw supremacy. Canelo has to get bjs to sign immediately

    I usually don't like to play the victim card as it can come off as patronizing to these guys, especially a warrior like Khurtsidze....but damn, he got screwed. Bad.

    His lack of marketability became a self fulfilling prophecy because nobody gave him an honest chance to succeed, which is insane because he has one of the most fan friendly styles around. The Douglas win should've been his coming out party, but instead it just made him that much more avoided.

    Mandatory shots exist so guys like AK can get a shot because they can't get the time of day otherwise. Canelo doesn't need one to get any fight he wants.

    If I were a Canelo fan, I wouldn't be quite so happy with this news.

    I can totally imagine a Canelo-BJS fight being negotiated and repeatedly postponed due to injury, financial demands, or whatever other reasons BJS has for fighting once a year.

    He could easily waste a lot of his next big name opponent's time, just saying, and that goes for Golovkin as well.

    At the very least, have Canelo fight Khurtsidze for a shot at the title
