    Offered to fight Chavez at SMW ... Chavez ran

    Offered to fight Froch at SMW ... Froch ran

    Offered to fight Ward at SMW ... Ward wanted 175

    Seems like people are severely allergic to GGG when it comes to finding a pen.

    I do too, the size difference will be huge even though Fielding isn't obviously as skilled like Canelo, im interested !

    Canelo fought GGG twice and came out the winner. Hes entitled to an easy fight next. GGG has to go back to the drawing board and Charlo is waiting for him.

    I honestly hate the fight and would have preferred Lemiuex, but taking an easy fight against Fielding in a higher weight class is fine especially given the 2 tough fight him and GGG just had. Canelo is just doing the same thing fighters like Leonard, DLH, JOnes, pacquaio ect have been doing for years.

    This is foolishness. Froch was done and Ward was already at 175 when Loeffler "offered" (really just put it out in the media).

    Perhaps because 160 was better than 168, did you not read the full OP?

    160 bums or so called bums have stepped up and flattened the alleged superior 168 fighters.

    Ridiculous. That's all he's done since 2015 is take easy fights, or fighters with names well past their best days.

    CCC - the Cowardly Cinnamon Child - is coming off two brutal back to back losses, so let's give him a pass on this one

    Taking on GGG twice was an easy fight ?

    I think we were all expecting a MW title defense, but Lemieux is a high risk low reward fight. Plenty of posters on here were complaining that Canelo would be fighting Lemieux, many said Lemieux didn't deserve a title shot. I'm not sure what beating Lemieux does for Canelo : So he beats the guy that GGG already knocked out ?

    Personally I would want to see Canelo GGG 3 happen in December, but GGG stated he is not fighting until 2019. So what can you do? GGG is too injured to take on Canelo again. The beating that GGG sustained at the hands of Canelo will obviously take some time to heal, so that's not an option for Canelo right now. BJS popped dirty and might be fighting Andrade. The winner of Jacobs Derevyanchenko won't be ready for December.

    There's not a lot of options for Canelo for December. But he wants to stay active, if Canelo is going to move up asking him to take on Callum Smith is a pretty big ask. If he's going to move up to 168 though, taking on Fielding seems to be a big enough challenge for Canelo given the size disparity. Just looking at height / reach, Callum Smith is much bigger and rangier than Andre Ward and Froch were at SMW for example.

    If Canelo took on Sheldon Cooper's grandmother, Shadow111 would find some way to spin it into a monumental challenge :rolleyes:

    Froch wasn't done and Hearn acknowledged such and said it was up to Froch who decided to retire.

    Since then Froch has contradicted himself so many times it's embarrassing from suddenly not being able to make 168, to a bare faced lie of team GGG wanting 164.

    If you are going to fabricate stories you need to remember your lies.

    No :nonono All three talked big and then when time came to actually float the fight, out came the excuses as to why they couldn't.

    Clenelo should just fight Khan again. The Clenelites will spin it as a massive challenge.
