Canelo once again is daring to be great . what a fighter !

There wasn't because Canelo was fighting at 164.

Regarding the Golovkin fight he fought twice between Khan and Golovkin, there was plenty of time to make a Golovkin fight if he had so wished.

 

Lol, GGG beat him twice. If not for Oscar Canelo would have lost twice to GGG and possibly to Lara.

 

Apparently robbing someone on the cards is destruction. Remember that 75 percent of boxing community scored both fights 4 GGG.

 

I'd rather see him face the top of the SMW division, but I have no problem with him testing the waters in the weight class first against someone like Fielding. It will be interesting to see if he decides to stay up at 168 lbs afterwards if he looks good in his debut. I have my doubts, Callum Smith is a VERY big guy for the division but I could see a possible fight with Canelo and Gilberto set up next May if he doesn't go for the trilogy against Golovkin.

Rocky isn't the worst possible opposition for a December bout but I can understand why people would consider it an underwhelming fight.

 

Why is he fighting Callum Smith victims?

 

Baseless statement.

 

It seems in line with your actual thinking and I can't comment on the other thread as I saw the title and didn't bother opening it much like I don't read anything that has Sconiers in the title.

 

Golovkin wanted to test the waters with Froch and got no end of **** for it from a lot of idiots on here.

 

Different circumstances. At the time, GGG looked like an invincible KO artist at 160 lbs, a division that was devoid of some of the big names currently fighting at the weight class. The biggest names at that time (appx a few years ago) for him to fight all campaigned at 168 lbs- Chavez Jr, Andre Ward and Carl Froch.

Canelo isn't considered to be a "boogeyman" type like Gennady was a few years ago. Alvarez has also moved up weight divisions already in his career, Gennady never left 160 lbs to challenge himself against bigger guys. In the days where almost all great fighter's are multiple division champions, it's a negative mark on his resume.

I like both fighter's but the situations are completely different.

 

Fair play to fielding for securing a big payday for his family but he's getting the sh*t beaten out of him in all fAirness isn't he

 

So if Froch or JCC Jr. had been up for it do you not think he would of moved up? And if he did well in either of those fights, a Froch one being particularly appealing, do you think he would of moved straight back down?

 

Just forget that fact that drug testing in the early 2000’s and before that was non existent in boxing. I am sure If Golovkin was allowed to take PED’s like certain PRIVILEGED divas he could move up multiple divisions without losing ability.
