Does team GGG expect to lose the canelo fight? Ignoring leverage in rematch or trilogy

Doesn't expect to win? Reading your post, I really have no idea how you came to that conclusion. But of course they want the fight. They are just aware they cannot force anyone in the ring with them,who doesn't want it. So yeah, they stepped aside, under the auspice of being next, or soon to next, in line.

As long as they fight this year, or even next, I'd favor 3g. He's never taken great punishment, and looks to take care of his body between fights. I think he has many good years still ahead of him.

 

i think in theory alot of what you say is similar to what many have been preaching to gggs loyal fans....alot of people think i, and others, really hate ggg...i dont....but his fans make it easy to speak against ggg....i just dont think ggg has been playing his cards very well here....maybe in the end im proven wrong and he comes away golden....we'll see....

i also think ggg and his fans may be overestimating and overstating his worth/standing ....precedents have been set ....for some reason his fans seem to act as if he transcends precedent or what others fighters have taken in similar circumstances....

but one of my biggest beefs now is this....as you mentioned....canelo is 26.....ggg is 35.....these guys all want canelo to operate on gggs timeline because they fear ggg might get old and lose....canelo is the bigger name/draw....hes 26 and already has a pretty decent resume......hes a cash cow.....hes not going to operate on gggs timeline to appease ggg and his fans....hes going to work on his own time and take the fight if and when it makes sense......people needs to realize how much time canelo could have left in boxing at the top level...and how much money he stands to make.....hes not going to rush to fight ggg simply because ggg is 35 and may be on the decline...it stinks...it might not be fair to golovkin....but its canelos life and career and it just is what it is

 

You realise not all fights warrant rematches or full blown trilogies right?

Maybe they're so confident of a beat down that they don't think there will be any need for a 2nd fight.

 

Who says anyone wants to be in the ring with Golovkin two or three times ??

One time seems hard enough, forget two or three times

 

rabid fans of any team or person are generally idiots. most sports fans love to run their mouths, while having no idea what they are talking about. i quit posting on the st louis blues site, because the moronic posters were making me root against my own favorite team. mayweather, pacquiao, fury, ward, kovalev, stevenson, etc. every one of them has fans on esb just as bad as golovkin fans.

 

i hear you...i suppose you are right...for some reason pacquiao and golovkin fans annoy me the most.....and its weird...i really used to love manny....i went to see him fight live twice....but reading people for the 5-6 years before mayweather really soured me on him....the same is happening with golovkin.....guys that should be universally loved.....i dont bag on kova or loma at all....

 

I don't really agree with the way you surmise that GGG's team expect to lose the fight, however you did make a lot of good points and I agree with you that GGG's team need to make the fight as soon as possible.

However, the earliest possible for the Canelo is this September (no offer was sent for May 2017), and it could well happen still. Basically K2 are trying to get as much money as possible for the September fight, but as you say they ought to ensure that it does occur rather than get delayed.

 

Man, do you even know how many years it takes off one's career fighting a heavy puncher like G two or three times??

Thats not something a promoter would want, specially for a young cash cow like Canelo

This will be a one time and one time only event

 

I honestly don't know what this means. As far as we all know, the fight offer for Sept. 2017 with the 15mill is what they are looking at. There hasn't been a deadline from GBP, so it;s safe to assume that once their respective fights are done, they will negotiate for this fall. The idea that they don't think they can win is absurd. There's nothing to tie that too.

No, his style does not age faster then any other. Volume punchers and those who disregard defense ala' overly machismo fighters, age the fastest. Both Erik Morales and Fernando Vargas were done at top level boxers before age 30.

What perfect style does canelo have? Look, I love the guy, but we all know his feet are essentially cement in the ring. And 3G is possibly the best at cutting the ring off. Canelo throws some nice looking combinations, but even I see the same 3 punch combos for the most part.

No way is Alvarez the better technician then 3G. Gonna have to disagree with ya.

 

Rematch ????

Which of GGG's fights so far remotely warranted a rematch ?

And why would Canelo do any better ?

 

Screw the St Louis Blues...this is LA KINGS COUNTRY...!!!
