    Like my boy Hawk said on Cobra Kai. ''Fanboys be fanboys.''

    People wonder how Gareth Southgate earned another go at a major tournament for England. etc. It's pretty much the same with Canelo. It is the credit he has built up in the past. I don't know what he can do to remove those GGG credits he built up. He's not one of my favorite fighters but I wouldn't say he is scared. Maybe just tainted. ohhhh booooooo.

    Lol artificial deadlines. He had no problems with Yildirim and that deadline.

    Cause Yildrim accepted whatever offer Canelo gave him. GGG was asking for a bigger percentage than Canelo thought he was worth.
    It's as simple as that.

    That was also part of it, it's in the original post you responded to.

    Remember when Golovkin was stripped for refusing to fight a prime Derevyanchenko?

    Sad times

    I’m not a Canelo fan and never will be, but unbiased boxing fans have to respect him for moving up to 175 and fighting prime Dmitry Bivol, when there was no incentive for him to do so other than legacy.

    Canelo used to be a beast, but a few years ago he started fighting guys like Rocky Fielding, Liam Smith, Caleb, Callum....you see where I'm going with this....he seems to have found his prototypical opponent, and wants to stick with fighting those types of fighters.

    I can counter this. Canelo vacated his title to age out GGG. Clearly, Canelo is not a coward in all things, he's rather brave as a whole, anybody who steps in the ring has courage, but that move was not brave.

    Golovkin understood his worth. Yildirim had none. Golovkin earned his bigger percentage. 2 of Canelos 3 biggest ppvs in terms of sales and money generated was with Golovkin. The Golovkin fight was in high demand for a long time. Mandatory never mattered at all to Canelo. It’s as simple as that.

    my thing is this if those guys are fighting top comp and others who we say he should fight are fighting bums how is that on him? Ideally in boxing you get what you earn. I look at it like this I’m not a fan of the John Ryder fight but if I go thru his resume and see he has fought better opponents and has better wins than say a Charlo then how can I realistically get mad when Ryder gets the fight?

    I mean bro if you go back to that situation if GGG was willing to live up to his 154-68 comments he would have gotten the fight, hell GGG could have fought Cotto but was making a issue of fighting at 158.

    Canelo is not scared, he just wants to fight shot fughters. Fury is scared.

    So if you go off of what fighters say, Floyd Mayweather is less of a fighter because he always said he was going for the ko and didn’t deliver, right?
