    "Per source close to the negotiations, GGG and Canelo have agreed to fight at 160, but not until fall 2017. Each will fight multiple times ahead of that. But they have agreed to fight and agreed on the weight. Canelo, per the source, wants a fight or two to acclimate to 160 pounds."



    Lol Canelo and GBP just waiting till GGG gets old. Thoughts guys?

    I'll take it. Later than I was expecting, but good news nonetheless.

    Hopefully one of them can take out BJS in the meantime.

    Better late than never, if indeed accurate.

    lil g will prob gladly fight cans in anticipation of this fight...and come fall of of 2017 canelo will say hes "burned out" and needs a break from boxing...citing many pro fights over a still young career.....

    He's going to fight Eubank Jr. next who's not a can, and if Canelo does what your saying, that's a duck from him.

    I guess that's better late than never. I don't think GGG will have slipped by then, so it works for me. If he holds all the belts and Canelo gets a couple of respectable victories at Middleweight, the fight will only be bigger.

    BJS keeps saying he's 18 months away from GGG all the time. Maybe he can fight Canelo.

    :lol: near the end of 2017. It's getting more embarrassing.

    GBP are trying everything to stop Canelo getting abused by fans all over the world, his countrymen and Mexican boxing legends.

    This to me really shows how much damage the ducking of Golovkin did to Canelo's reputation. Agreeing to fight in over a year and will have multiple fights each :lol: it's a complete joke.

    PPV numbers could break the 2 mil barrier by then.

    No - I'm pretty sure every ggg fan would agree that fighting kovalev would be a bigger challenge. where do you come up with these insane straw men? Seek help
