Another glovbum fanboi Fail. Liston was much bigger and more fearsome than 60's Cassius Clay. Why doesn't T Bum do that to Ward or Kovalev, because that's the equivalent of Clay chasing Liston.
LOL Dino has himself a new crush. The next 4 years should be full of Big Drama Show on the BF24 boards.
Completely expected. As long as Canelo vacates the title im cool with it. He doesn't need to fight GGG at 160. He loses and almost everyone knows it. Canelo is wise to avoid a tremendous beating at the hands of Golovkin
See, we still have a few sane people. Canelo is NOT beating ggg. He knows it too, they sparred and he knows that's a bad fight. Even kovalev hates the idea that ggg eventually will be around his weight class. Kovalev said "I'd fight him if I HAD TOO, I'm not leaving the division for anyone" but ggg is very special and is a much more destructive force than I" He also said "there is no one" on ggg's level, I've only seen him tired when he fought ouma because he was sick and stuck in a frigging airport for dayS leading to the fight
ggg was scared of featherfisted ward and demanded a 164 cw to duck what the hell u think the bigger, stronger kovalev is gonna do to ggg in a real fight? kovalev kills the tripe duck
I was tweeting with the WBC and they said that Canelo cannot make GGG come in below 160 and if Canelo won't fight at that weight, then he will be stripped. Let's hope the WBC will enforce their rules.
Golovkin fights in IBF sanctioned fights which do not allow a fighter to rehydrate more than 10 lbs on fight night which means Golovkin can't weigh in over 170 lbs in any of his fights. Boxing Scene has Canelo weighing 172 vs Trout. Boxingforum and ESPN both say that Canelo weighed in 174 vs Angulo. I have not been a member long enough to post links. Google it yourself.
Before you get too frustrated with Opie just keep in mind that he is not really a true Middleweight. However, that is a bit confusing as he comes in at 175 lbs fight night...!!!
