    I think if Golovkin wants the fight now then I agree

    Golovkin should come down like he claims he can

    But realistically, this fight won't happen right away and by that time Canelo will probably be at 160 anyway

    Nah, GGG shouldn't move down for Canelo, that'd be a dumb move, better to not have a fight at all for him then. Canelo will move to 160 at some point soon anyway.

    Dude Canelo can't even make 154, he needs to just take his big ass up to 160. He won't have a choice soon

    Exactly! He did great against Kirkland but Canelo's a natural middleweight. No way he'll survive in that division.

    cannole is a hype job that has already been exposed in numerous fights. GGG destroys him.

    Canelo does have better wins and sells more tickets than GGG but middleweight is where it has to take place

    I'd imagine GBP would want the lions share. 60/40 sounds OK to me, especially if they end up fighting at the AT&T stadium in Dallas. That place could have an 80,000 + sellout, and both men would benefit from their biggest paydays.

    Canelo has already fought on PPV, and while I respect was GGG has done and believe he'd knock ALvarez out, Canelo has fought the better competition. He's fought Trout-Mayweather-Angulo-Lara-Kirkland as his last 5 opponents. I'm impressed with both men and it could definitely end up being a mega fight. Their styles would make for a very action-packed fight.

    He currently does not belong on any list of that kind.

    Relatively speaking, he's fought good comp. This Saturday is definitely a step back though. Regardless, I think he definitely belongs in the p4p top 10.
