I read all over these posts that Canelo will not take the fight with GGG because its not a big money fight or there's no money to fight GGG. What is considered a big money fight? How much does GGG get for fighting? Does anyone know how much he made for fighting Wade? I feel that if a fighter is making a million or more dollars for a fight that's a big money fight. I know its not FM or Pac money but where is the line to say its a big money fight or not?
Canelo has NEVER fought at the 160 limit. Canelo has fought a long string of top, quality, and elite opposition while Golovkin has not. Canelo has taken the toughest roads to achieve his marketing power... GGG who is now 34 has fought nothing but C level fighters and an occasional B guy like Lemieux.. Alls Canelo wants is the fight at 155, the same weight he had to fight for the belt, a belt that has been fought for below 160 at least 3 times consecutively. What is strange is that GGG said he would fight top fighters between 154-168 yet will not fight Canelo, his biggest payday at 155.. WTF?
Oh, is that so.. That is why Danny Lopez was such a mega star like Canelo right? GTFO with your excuses Canelo earned his respect by fighting tough opposition, from Trout who had just dominated Cotto, to Lara who had beat Paul Williams, to Mayweather, to dangerous pressure fighter Angulo, and power slugger Kirkland, not to mention Miguel Cotto who had just KO one of GGGs best opponents. :deal You think Canelo was a PPV from the get go?? No, he just started as he PROVED himself.
All GGG needed to do was either accept 155 or NOT ACCEPT the step aside money. You realize you're crying over something GGG did, which is step aside.
He proved it by getting good fights at the right time. He had the OPPORTUNITY. The opportunity that GG hasn't had. Do you want a picture drawing? Would that help you to grasp the situation? You can't do direct comparisons, because everyone's circumstances are different.
atsch He stepped aside to add the IBF belt. But now he's not going anywhere. So get ready to post another hate thread when Canelo vacates.
--Knocked out badly by an unknown LHW in amatuers --ALSO, OUTBOXED badly by a Polish Sausage in the amatuers --Squeaked by with a bronze medal somehow in the Olympics --Put down by morbidly obese Dustin "Big Worm" Nichols with a "Check-Jab" --Put down heavily and almost out by career loser Harold "Hard Roc" Sconiers --Built much of his career by beating sad corpses like Harrison and Lyakhovich --Brought in personal friend Malik Scott to take an obvious dive --Did not fight the real champ for his "title" but a Don King manufactured Buffet champion --Knocked down by 2 Wlad jabs and OUT with one medium left hook in sparring --Destroyed and almost ktfo'd by Haye in sparring --Rocked heavily by a Firtha jab --Could not defeat a very ill Stiverne as convincingly as Demetrice King --Could not even knock a very ill Stiverne down like Rossy --Some of the most shameful opponents for his "title defenses" that the world has ever seen, showing his low self esteem --Rocked badly and almost out vs substitute teacher Molina ("Drummer Boy") --He did not perform as well agasint Molina as Arreola OR ASHANTI JORDAN, both of whom knocked him out in 1 --Eye busted up and made to look like a gargoyle by Duhaupas ("The Reptile"), a French pastry chef --Sold as a nice guy, but actually spends his time beating up hookers and mental patient Charlie Zelenoff, who are ironically his best opponents --Dispresects great fighters like Tyson and Klitschko --Now trying to claim that Fury's "courageous" win somehow makes him champion. --Avoiding Povetkin like the plague --Seems to be using a new tactic,probably to mask steroid use, of not allowing his pathetic opponents a full camp --Was considering Wawryck, knocked out in 3 by his mandatory, as an opponent --Offered a shot to Adamek, a shot to pieces 39 year old former LHW who is 1-2 in his last three, but only allowed him a 6 week camp. --Avoided Briggs and Bronco Billy Wright, shot fighters who carry AARP cards --Will fight an unemployed Soccer Hooligan named Szpilka? on 4 weeks notice, and will underpay him, overfeed and hooker him up --Wilder's team, the "Burger Squad", keeps removing and scrubbing the Internet of all of his shameful knockdowns and ktfo's; mostly while attempting a bad attempt at the "Ali Shuffle", which will now be called the "Burger Bungle". --Got punked out badly by unemployed, fur coat wearing soccer hooligan Spzilka at face off for their upcoming "title" fight -- Was being outclassed by undersized, unemployed, glorified bum, fur coat wearing, soccer hooligan Spzilka for 9 rounds -- Was clearly intimidated by Tyson Fury after landing a lucky punch against undersized, unemployed, glorified bum, fur coat wearing, soccer hooligan Spzilka -- When intimidated by Fury, had to resort to his pathetic catchphrase, causing embarrassment to, and for, everyone associated with the Wilder camp. -Now is again avoiding Povetkin like the plague and will likely be stripped of his title; but Uncle Al will give him a worthless,* manufactured PBC belt. -Tried to fight the CAN Martin in a title unification match, but the WBC refused to allow the fight, and that Wilder fight his mandatory; then team Bronze Burger attempted to get Povetkin to fight Martin, but he regused; just another pitiful attempt to duck Povetkin.* -Wilder skips leg day, resulting in pitiful 14" calves on a 6'7 man, which produce the funniest chicken dances and future ktfo's ever.
Great reply. Full of logic. I can't argue with what you've just typed. I applaud you. I can only dream of being as smart one day. :nut
Canelo thinks if himself is a prize, and the other fighters need to earn the right just to step into the ring with him. Christ that is some gay ****. I understand that boxing is business, yes, but there is also the sport aspect. You are mixing those up. Being marketable doesn't mean you can dictate weight terms for a Middleweight fight. Cotto and Canelo took the middleweight belt south, now a unified middleweight champ needs to earn his right for a fight? Get real now will ya.
WOOP TE DOO... All some of you post is negative comments about GGG. GGG took step aside money... GGG hasn't fought anyone... Now... when GGG has a MANDATORY BOUT scheduled with Canelo... We get nothing but EXCUSES why Canelo doesn't have to fight. GET OVER IT... Most so-called boxing experts, TV boxing commentators, and Las Vegas odds makers show GGG as an OVERWHELMING FAVORITE !!! YOU ALL got what you were asking for... GGG has to meet a contender. Now let's see if GGG's opponent shows up.
