    Canelo will end up being one of those ABC Champs....that when people look back at his record..they will say "Oh, Canelo, he was that 'other" champ...not the Real Champ". (see Vincente Rondon destroyed by Bob Foster when showdown time came).

    You know, I can understand him being scared to death of GGG and not wanting anything to do with him with the whole boxing is a business thing, but the thing I won't forget is the nonsense in the ring after the Khan fight. You don't f-around indeed Canelo.:silly

    Lol, who will be "the real" champ? genadi "the ishida killer" golovking?

    roflmao. Canelos' CV sh+ts all over ggg's CV.

    If ggg wanted to fight canelo, he shouldnt have forced the 55/45 split. He didnt want to fight canelo, he wanted the belt. Ok, he has it now, c'mon, run to fight eubank for "6 millions?" hahahahahaha, 6 millions... not even the troll who wrote that actually believes it.

    Canelo will make more money vs no one that ggg vs whoever. And you know why? because when ggg has the opportunity to be great, instead of taking it he forces a 55/45 split.

    Canelo is not dumb, and I'm glad that he's not only smart into the ring, but he's also smart out of the ring too.

    Yeah, Martinez also ducked Golovkin. Of course, he'd say that.

    You cannot deal with reality. That's all. Offer a 70/30 split to canelo (a fair split imo) and you will have this fight, but gigi is a greedy greedy boy...

    precisely. Martinez is happy that another boxer is doing the same thing. That way he won't be the only coward that ducked GGG, and actually looked worse. It didn't work with Cotto because despite Cotto's ducking, he had the argument of being spent on wars and age. Now Martinez can say "Hey, I was getting up there in years and in wars. Look at Canelo, he did the same thing and he was in his absolute prime!"

    The split that you pulled out of your ass. The only way For it to be 55/45 if It went to the purse bids, and Canelo vacated the title when there was A WEEK TO GO before the purse bids.

    The split was set by organization. No possible negotiation if ggg wanted (as he did) to force it.

    He just wanted the belt, he didnt give a F... about being great or not. Just deal with it.

    :lol: it's cute that you still think that was the deal breaker for a fight. Alvarez was never getting in the ring with 3G. Most of us have known that....some of you guys will catch up. :smoke

    No, the regular split between a champ and mandatory is 70\30, 55\45 is only if purse bids was ordered which wasn't going to happen until a week after Canelo vacated The title.

    And if GGG only wanted the belt, he wouldn't have agreed to Canelo's one voluntary defence request and forced him to drop The title before the Khan fight. Just stop talking out of your ass.
