De La Hoya: Canelo-Golovkin Won't Take 6 Years, But Not Now

Okay?

What did you people expect? I've called this exact scenario before Nelo fought Cotton for the MW belt.

 

Curious to see what happens if Canelo-Smith tanks at the box office, which is very possible.

 

I think he dropped the belt because he didn't want to give GGG a fair amount of money. So he will try to win the other title and low ball GGG and when GGG sees he is being lowballed and doesnt accept Canelo can say GGG is ducking him and that he never had plans to unify.

 

OK Professor, so in terms of PPV buys, does Canelo generate more demand now or before he dropped the belt?

All things being equal, no specific opponent just hypothetical opponent X.

Which Canelo achieves more PPV buys and why

 

exactly.....it makes as much sense as :| about a certain fighter 7 days a week on this forum

 

Ah, now you get it! Kush and uppercut_fisted have been saying it all along. Boxing doesn't matter, only fighter purses matter.

 

I don't think kovalev vs ward is happening this year

 

Golovkin's got what 3 years left in the sport.

Perfect timing Oscar!

 

So the fight will happen in Sept of 2019:rofl

 

I honestly think you speak for most of us on here re Canelo,I was a fan of his also and his come forward style is certainly not that of a coward,I do think he's been found out somewhat though in that when he has stepped up you could argue he's struggled,Mayweather loss no shame and against Lara whilst I don't feel Lara was robbed I wouldn't of argued if Lara got the decision,even the Trout fight where he clearly won he was found out.
Oscar and Canelo are gambling on the paid judges(how else does one explain Mayweather draw) and his iron chin so basically they're avoiding anyone with KO power like some of the best at 154 and those big punchers at 160 like Jacobs and obviously GGG.

Billy Joe Saunders I could see out boxing Canelo as he is a good boxer although it's true about him doing well for the first six rounds and then gasses out,he could be worse now too based on his fitness and inactiveness,obviously if Canelo loses Then GGG defo won't happen.
What bugs me though is I reckon Canelo would have the best chance of anyone right now if only he believed it himself,I reckon Canelos chin is as good as Murry and unlike Murry he can bang though I've only based this on him banging out smaller guys.

I actually wanna like Canelo but his talk and actions make it hard to want to believe him.

That part of a post I made yesterday :think

I thought I was having a joke but it looks like I was almost spot on what a joke GBP and Canelo have become.

 

You may joke but you just summed up quite a few on here,I reckon some rather em play tiddlywinks and see em make smart business rather than em actually involved in a blood sport,perish the though?

 

Damn. Oscar is still hitting the Crack isn't he?

 

business = cowardice in the Golden Girls dictionary
