    :lol: you clown

    What he said was a fact, Canelo handed over his jewellery instead of fighting his mandatory.

    If any other fighter in the world did the same you and many many others would call it a duck.

    You can make as many excuses as you like but they are the facts :good

    Yep :yep

    I don't think he thought it through, it was a poor, cheap attempt to have another pop at Golovkin.

    When will these people get bored? It's getting boring reading it.

    Canelo has been in with better fighters and at least in one case he conceded weight to make the fight happen. He fought the best guys in his division at the time. Of course, we know the best at MW have been avoiding GGG, so that has to be considered in his case. Canelo was rising high (despite the "Canelo weight" BS) until he didn't step up for GGG and then this Khan sh!t (just another money grab).

    I have never seen GGG in with a similar caliber of opponent as Lara, Cotto (we know why it didn't happen at MW) or Mayweather. He claimed he was willing to fight ANYONE from 154-168. Yet, he ducked Ward, wanted Delvin Rodriguez at a c/w, refused to budge on weight to make the Canelo fight, ignores Lara, etc. As I said, he can't catch a break with the champs at 160. Let's admit that. But, it's clear he would much rather bring smaller guys up to 160, fight guys in the verge of retirement at 168 (or weed head, fruit loops eating, spoiled "son's of legends") than make any moves himself (by conceding weight, up or down) to make the best fights available.

    Neither is a "coward". These guys are in a very risky sport. But, GGG is slightly more risk averse IMO, than Canelo.

    the poll should have read who is more cowardly, or less cowardly, or most cowardzaghelike, not actually branding them coward.

    I personally don't understand how fans will say other fighters are scared if they don't move up or down in weight or take lesser purses to fight GGG, yet have every excuse in the book for why GGG doesn't have to make a concession whether it be monetary or weight to make fights?

    Brook would be a clear favorite against khan. Moreover, Brook would beat more top ten middleweights than khan. I think you agree and are just trying to stir the pot. It's disingenuous and childish

    :good

    This AFTER calling GGG out on TV and inviting him in to the ring and talking all that BS. Far, far worse. I would have preferred GGG take on a 160/168ler, but he's still not as bad as Canelo for his Bowe moment.

    Canelo because he blatantly backtracked on his word/actions regarding the GGG fight. It's a shame, because until now Canelo had an excellent record of fighting the best.

    :huh Since when? The guys that officially ducked GGG were all fighting in the 160 division. The other guys that "gave him a swerve" were in the 168 division. He's giving up weight TO THEM.

    The only guy that you could say was in negotiations about weight was Ward. He didn't want 164, fair enough. Obviously he feels that he can't drain down to that without losing something, which is the same position that Golovkin is in re 155. Who is calling him a coward? :think
