    ;) Hhmmm... O$car & Canelo hoping to get attention spout nonsense such as...

    O$car offering a "fix fee" cut of the purse WHEN they decide Canelo will fight GGG.

    Canelo saying his BODY will determine when it's time to meet GGG, "MEXICANS DON'T FVCK AROUND" etc. & so forth.

    GGG smartly doesn't get drawn into this nonsense so...

    Trolls echo this slander as though it were fact.

    :risas3: Now WHO'S DELUSIONAL ?

    False equivalence.

    Had GGG moved up and won the lineal title at 168 then the calls for him to compete at the weight full-time would be totally justified. The fact is that he hasn't moved up and has remained at 160. Period.

    Canelo moved up, won the title and moved back down when pressured to fight the biggest challenge at the weight. No legit argument can be made that he doesn't need to move back to 160 and face Golovkin.

    I can respect your opinion. But if you can't agree that the Lara fight was a close fight that could have been scored for Canelo or Lara then you are being biased and dishonest.

    Canelo only won the lineal MW title, tho. That's the point.

    What your failing to see his body will give out if he keeps forcing this weight draining, his already resulting to drugs to make 154 this time (no vada). He might able to make 155 after this then 156 but eventually he won't have a choice and will either have to retire, skip the division or join it .

    Yeah. Provided he can make weight there's no reason at all for him to move up. Furthermore as you say given that 140 - 154 are deep with US or US based talent there's no shortage of potential opponents who will be known to the US audience and fights that can be built, also many guys who could move up to fight him. Like I say, if he can keep making the weight there's absolutely no need for him to move up. Better money and (outside of GGG) far better known opponents where he is.

    Better? Probably marginally. What it is however is stacked with US based talent - ie.. names that people know, whether or not it's actually objectively stacked with better fighters it has more name recognition for the US market and therefore probably better financial prospects. Canelo would be advised to stay there if he can.

    Also is refusing VADA testing because he needs diuretics to get to 154.
