    Fight?!

    Stupid

    Stupid

    Stupid

    Why accept step aside money when they were already the money?! If K2 was a good promoter they would have said screw that screw waiting, they were the mandatory and should have forced the fight in May!!! But they let Canelo and GB bully them into delaying the fight

    I was hoping the would not step aside last time. But then they knew GBP would come in with a hundred ifs and buts and what abouts and just general akwardness so they bowed to it all. Cuz they knew that wont wash again a next time, GBP have used up their quota of excuses and plea,s.

    After Alverez has got rid of his Welterweight opponent and Golovkin has got rid of his mandatory opponent its time for Canelo vs GGG and its at 160 or let go of that belt.

    Because they have absolutely no leverage at all. And it's only a matter of time before HBO grows tired of paying GGG to make defenses against mandatory opponents. He'd be soon pressured to make a permanent jump to 168, a weight where he'd likely fit in just fine,however, his opposition would offer far more resistance.

    I don't think GGG is really wants big fight's, hes been mando since the Rubio fight at the end of 14" since then he's stepped aside for Geale, Canelo, & now Khan. You can't say noone wants to fight you when you side step your shot every time.

    Canelo is not going to fight GGG at 160 so why not get paid for getting ducked?

    It's part of the game rich people pay..GGG allowed it so canelo can make lots of money for cotto and now khan.. But GGG has said no amount of money after khanelo.. He is the boss..!

    From the look in his eyes at the presser I believe that he is tired of getting the run around. I know that I give him **** but it truly is starting to become a **** Gennady fest with a latino all-star cast of Martinez, Cotto, and Canelo.

    Should they roll up on Oscar and Suliaman with guns drawn? Baseball bats also?

    I agree. I never saw a picture of the German with the check on social media, so I refuse to believe any step aside money was paid. It's a conspiracy. Someone needs to build a big wall.

    Better question is why won't Canelo fight GGG? Heck why won't Caneli fight anyone at 160? He is about to fight a Glass Jawed Welterweight at 155. What does that tell you?

    It's the easiest money to make isn't it.

    But yes I'm also disappointed cos it means this charade can continue.

    I'd much rather Golovkin force the issue and either fight Canelo or let him be stripped.

    Does Canelo still have the ring belt?
