    Oscar De La Hoya - “Well, first of all, Canelo takes every fight seriously and never looks past anyone. Liam Smith is an undefeated fighter, the WBO Junior Middleweight Champion of the world, has knocked out his last eight opponents and comes from an outstanding boxing family.
    “As of today, Canelo is a 154-lb fighter. He only fought for a Middleweight championship because fans wanted a fight with Miguel Cotto, and Canelo delivered by winning that fight convincingly.
    “I have been clear that Canelo will fight Golovkin at 160 pounds and we have a verbal agreement to do it in the fall of 2017. But in the meantime, Canelo is going to build up to being a true middleweight.
    “The plan is to face Smith – a big, bruising 154-pounder – in September, and if Canelo emerges victorious, to start making his way up to 160 pounds and fight Golovkin on equal turf (in terms of weight).
    “We envision Canelo doing a third fight in 2016 either at or close to the middleweight limit and then a fight on Cinco De Mayo at 160 before facing Golovkin in the fall.
    “I know Canelo/Golovkin is the biggest fight to make; the fighters know it’s the biggest fight to make; and the fans know it’s the biggest fight to make. Everyone agreed that a fight for the middleweight championship should take place at the middleweight limit and once Canelo builds up to that weight, the fight will be on.


    Props to Oscar for this answer and I really hope that is gonna happen.

    he must read the boards cause we weve been discussing the fact that he should have said that from the very beginning.

    He has a plan but this was the same plan back in the beginning of 2016. IDK what the hell Oscar is doing but he is really putting his foot in his own ass.

    They used their first tuneup fight for 160 to fight Khan at 155.

    This doesn't pass the straight face test. Canelo is building up middleweight while weighing in at between 175 and 180 on fight night.

    Do you expect people to take your posts serious when you spew garbage?

    Oscar has the IQ of a coat hanger.

    i don't think it's the biggest fight to make. golovkin would box him a little bit and then punch a hole in him.

    i'd rather see something like a salido-lomachenko rematch. now that's an example of a fight to make. is chocalito inoue in the works? there's a fight to make.

    Why are some of you still having problems understanding overweight issue. Brooks is weighing more than GGG and he is a welterweight.

    DLH has been making it clear from early on that he wanted this fight to marinate so basically he seems to be on track, it's basically all you morons who heard what he said and believed what you wanted to.
