How scared is Dranelo???

My guess is that it's mostly coming from Oscar and Canelo's handlers. Not that it makes it okay or that Canelo shouldn't get criticized for it.

I'm not overly optimistic, but I'm hoping it's just a negotiating tactic.

"155 or no fight....155 or no fight with these current financial arrangements.....Hmmm we can discuss the weight and the money splits some more", and so on and so on.

Unsurprisingly, there's still people that will shamelessly defend all this nonsense.

"Oh so and so did this! That fighter did this last year! Why can't my hero do the same?"

It sucked when those fighters did all this extra catchweight **** and it sucks now. Boxing already has too many divisions as it is and is dangerous enough as it is. In some fights, particularly in prior eras, having a catchweight was more of an attempt to simply have the two guys closer in weight, and that is fine. That's what they should be used for. But now big name fighters have their own weight divisions which often means "attempt to either avoid opponent or weaken and dehydrate the opponent".

And some of their fans defend it, because they seemingly have the mindset of 10 year old kids who need to idolize an athlete. I thought boxing forums were for hardcore boxing fans who love the sport, but it seems like way too many people love particular fighters rather than the sport itself.

Most boxers already cut a lot of weight to begin with. Cutting that weight and being dehydrated reduces the liquid around the brain and makes it even more dangerous.

People want this to happen?

 

It was when he offered to fight Mayweather at 154 and Froch and Chavez, Jr. at 168.

 

So everyone should fight at the weight they hydrate to? Or just Canelo?

 

Yep

 

Why would you doubt canelo? He hasn't dodged a challenge yet
There is nothing that makes me think canelo won't take this fight.

 

The weight has nothing to do with Canelo and everything to do with Golovkin. Canelo's team, although consistent, is looking to weaken Golovkin to "even the odds". Despite their fight night weights, Canelo is still the smaller guy, just fatter. Don't believe me? Answer this, can Golovkin make 155 as comfortably as Canelo can? If yes, then why not fight there? If no, then he's the bigger man.

For the record, I believe the fight should be held anywhere from 157-160, I think both would be comfortable.

 

He's paying a lot of respect to GGG.

 

Of course it's about the money. It's always about the money. That's why it is called "prize fighting". Golovkin will take the catchweight fight against Alvarez because he can't make near as much money against anyone else.

 

I hope you don't get disillusioned when Golovkin agrees to fight Alvarez at 157. I don't like it either but it is what it is.

 

For the right amount of money he will.

 

Then he will be stripped from his MW belt.

 

lol drainelo is as scared as a deer in headlights. either way golovkin wins by knockout, he hits way too hard.

 

caganelo is not as good or as bad as people think.

 

:shock: Canelo actually is pretty good.

Canelo throws effective body punches, has pretty good movement and some defense.

IMO... GGG is a "Once in a Generation" boxer and "out classes" the current roster of middleweights.

I lay most of the blame on OSCAR for this "Catch Weight" nonsense, along with Oscar attempts to stall Canelo fighting GGG.

From what I have been watching, Oscar simply is attempting to delay losing his "GOLDEN GOOSE", when Canelo fights GGG.
