    Canelo has fought.Mayweather,Cotto,Mosley,Trout,Lara,Angulo,Khan etc...

    GGG,who according posters here,will fight against anybody.is preparing currently for his biggest fight ever against Brook.also in resume we have Geale,Stevens,Lemiex etc..

    Maybe it's just me,but i see Canelo as only one who is willing to take top competition.and cut that 168pounds **** off.When Ward wanted the fight GGG was nowhere to found,and demanded 164 pounds.

    And also,GGG is starting to get old.Oscar will get 2-3 year window to make money out of GGG.GGG is not interested moving up or down.only fight to make money is Canelo,if Canelo moves up!!

    I don't understand why everybody is happy that GGG stays at MW,beating hopeless D class opponents.Dani Geale is top3 opponent in GGG resume.and we all see how natural WW Cotto easily also beat Geale.

    GGG is so overrated it's comical.i still call GGG as hypejob.fighting in completely dead division,wasting his career.GGG has massive potential,but in this case we can say.never dared to be great.

    I'm sure,soon GGG nuthuggers will come to defend their hero.and in next Floyd thread they start attacking Floyd resume and saying he is a ducker etc...

    And lastly,finally when Canelo and GGG fight.i predict that Canelo will win,and not only win.but to make it look easy.and finally crushing fantasy of GGG,as elite A level boxer.

    And the reason Canelo is still operating at JMW is because MW is completely dead,par GGG.Canelo moves up now,beats GGG and there is absolutely nothing interesting.Canelo is also too small and stocky to ever go up to 168.

    At 154 or 55 Canelo can keep fighting against great competition,and drag some WW up.

    But if Canelo moves up to 160.it's almost impossible to drag them up.and don't get heat.

    If i would be Canelo.i would wait 1-2 yrs to fight GGG.and probably at CW..

    This is a great tactic, providing Canelo doesn't become damaged goods after the shellacking he gets the first time around with Ggg!

    Stop mistaking business for ability. GGG is a better fighter than Canelo - that's obvious - it doesn't mean he has more people willing to pay money to watch him.

    Yeah cause at 154 you've got mega fights with the likes of Liam Smith right?
    Listen if Canelo does stay at 154 then fair play to him as you're right there is quite a number of quality guys in that division and at least he won't be pretending to be a middleweight,who knows what they're gonna do,one minute one they gonna fight Saunders and the next they're talking Manny,as long as there's no pressure to fight Golovkin its all roses.

    Canelo does not strike me as scared of anyone as he has fought the likes of Mayweather, Lara, Trout, Cotto and others. If anyone is scared then it's Canelo's promoter Goldenboy!

    :deal

    It's amazing to read the amount of morons who have fooled themselves into believing that a professional boxer who has been beating up on grown men since he was 15 years old and has fought top of the line boxers is all of a sudden afraid of someone who has not one worthy name on his resume(and I say that as a GGG fan).:lol:

    LOL, why would DeLa Hoya trade gold for tin?

    This match up will never happen. If Golovkin signed with GBP he would have to start fighting real opponents like Canelo has.
    That means no more ducking Lara.
    No more ducking BHOP, and no more ducking top fighters.
    Won't happen in a 1000 years.

    GGG too loyal and besides he only has a couple of years to go. Two or three at max compared to Canelo. That's why it's easier to protect your only high profile fighter than to try and "steal" GGG from K2 just like Al Haymon stole all his GBP fighters.

    If Canelo has only fought the best either at JrMW, WW moving up or JrWW moving up, who is the "top competition" Canelo will be facing at MW that GGG is avoiding?

    Is Canelo going to start fighting SMW's?

    Al Haymon has no interest in Golovkin. Golovkin is a nobody.

    Mayweather Promotions has no interest in Golovkin. Golovkin is a nobdy.

    GBP has no interest in Golovkin. Golovkin is a nobody.
    Canelo earned GBP 10x more money then Golovkin could earn in 10 years.

    Golovkin is a nobody. No firm other than one owned by the Kltschos or the weasel Bob Arum would want to manage this nobody.

    Thank you Sir. I could not have put it anymore eloquently myself. Your comments display knowledge, they are incisive and scholastic.
