    Can you show me a quote where GGG said he would not fight Ward because he was too big, please?

    Canelo is a very good fighter, but he did lose to Lara. If Lara had a more prominent marketing machine behind him, he would of got the decision.

    Actually it was in the lines he didn't want to fight ward because it wasn't a ppv fight. He didn't say he was to big but he would only move up for a ppv worthy fight. My translation high risk low reward fight for him, why move up if the money ain't right. Ward equals too big too skilled to move up in weight for.

    Canelo probably would beat GGG Kirkland is on the level if the average GGG opponent and he handled him with ease.
    Alvarez is underrated because he lost to Mayweather(even though he did better than MP). On the low he is the more skilled/explosive fighter, both have subtly's to their game that are dangerous to the other but Alvarez's superior speed/defense will pull him through a tough bout.

    Also the people complaining at the 155 weight are haters in a non title fight 1-1/2 a lb is no big deal. The dude was on record saying if Lara had a Real Title that fight would of been at 154.

    I favor GGG over Canelo. Neither has world class defense, which helps make this potential matchup very exciting. I think GGG wins 9 rounds to 3, or by late TKO. His superior command of distance/timing would be the difference.

    Canelo said he would fight him the futur if that fight had to be made. He knows he is not ready for GGG but that he might have to fight him at some point, in a year or two if GGG is still the man.

    Was going off how I remembered it, I was off I admit that. I still stand by how I translated it. Would move up to fight Chavez jr but not ward. Chavez jr is a limited fighter ggg could beat and get paid for. Minimal risk, high reward fight. Fighting ward, possibly the best fighter behind mayweather when he was fighting. Hes aslo bigger then ggg, high risk low reward fight. Ward too big, too skilled for ggg to want to fight.

    Canelo is the only big name fighter who seems willing to fight GGG.
