    I like Virgil Hunter...and I'm a big Andre Ward fan and I think the two have been through alot together and have a great bond...But I take this remark from Hunter with grain of salt...Why??? Because Canelo is doing the same things Hunter lauded Mayweather over the years for doing...Hunter is talking out the side of his mouth. It's a two way street...Don't feel like debating anybody on it...just my opinion.

    Why do you keep talking about money? LOL. Are you getting a cut of Canelo's purse or something? When Canelo loses to GGG he has nowhere to go. There isn't a viable fight left for him despite his age. Nobody is going to buy his fights at that point.

    Yes they will. I'm in agreement that Canelo ducked GG, but when it comes from a bonafied ***** like you, it's like an ant taking **** to an elephant. All you can do is look at the ant and say, "Dafuq"! Lol

    ya...no viable fights for canelo despite his age....i believe thats exactly what ggg fans were saying before he signed to fight chavez...."no viable fights for canelo...he has to fight GGG NOW"!!! lol...but once again..canelo found a way to put together a fight that will probably do good numbers and make money...just like he did with khan "oh man canelo NEEDS GGG now"....then he does like 600k ppvs and makes money against khan! lol

    i DONT care about money......i really dont...im not some big canelo fan either...i dont really care...im not emotionally invested in canelo

    BUT....YOU are going out of your way to try and say canelo isnt a star in boxing...that he doesnt earn and sell...and that to me is ridiculous....that implies that canelo doesnt make money or bring it in......so basically you brought money up....through implication

    Bottom line is Canelo sells ppvs and GG doesn't. But Canelo can't negotiate GG's purse AT ALL. They can negotiate GG's split and still give him 15 mil.

    That shouldn't matter really about the ppv's but if golovkin turned down his highest payday vs canelo, i don't understand that, maybe he thinks he deserves more if it's ppv, still should have taken the fight

    Cotto started the catch weight bull, but Canelo defended once against a chinned welterweight and actively tried to have a 160lb unification fight at 155 draining a career 160lber in the process.

    What Canelo tried to do is indefensible.

    Canelo is not:

    the face of Boxing

    a legit 'cash cow'

    nobody is saying he doesn't draw any money. Just because Oscar parrots these statements it doesn't make them true. Canelo is not on the level of a Tyson, Mayweather, Holyfield, Pacquiao, hell he isn't even on the level of Wlad Klitschko or Anthony Joshua. Canelo despite his age has a very short shelf life left. Who is he going to fight after GGG? Danny Garcia? Keith Thurman? Broner? Who on earth would pay to see that garbage? IF Canelo can somehow beat GGG he does have a future left. He loses and it is all down the drain with him losing his two most meaningful fights in his career.

    They would fight in September if im not mistaken. Second, ive seen a lot of guys turn down their highest payday for their own reasons and fans said that they ducked that fighter because they didn't take their biggest pay day. GG fans have done it, and now Canelo's fans are doing it.

    Why is anyone giving any credence to this fraud, whether what he is saying is right or wrong.

    This is the same man who has his halal boy inside his stable ducking all credible fighters in his own weight division and pricing himself out of a fight with his nemesis Brook

    Meanwhile his golden goose is holding his belts hostage and threatening to retire after an agreed rematch.

    Virgil Hunter is nothing but a stain on boxing as he has made a career out of mockery and pretending to be an elite trainer on the back of getting lucky unearthing a fighter with natural talent.

    of course canelo isnt tyson or floyd or evander or pac...thats rarified air right there....but hes still at the top right now.....and hes been in big fights that have sold very well....can golovkin say the same thing? .....

    canelo has a short shelf life because? people paid to see him fight khan and everyone thought that was garbage right? people watched brook/ggg right? that was pretty garbage too

    all u golovturds swore canelo needed GGG.....and poof canelo found a fight that will make some money and sell....and guess what? when thats over, whether he fights ggg or not, opponents will emerge.....people will be lining up for canelo....and they will still be viable fights......if he wanted to fight thurman, garcia or broner it would seem silly...but they are known names in the sport and it will sell enough to get canelo paid.....you delusional losers have it in your mind that canelo has no options other than ggg.....but the joke is on you...its really golovkin that has nothing and thats why he keeps chasing canelo

    You know Ive been reading all you Canelo fans posts trying to praise him but all youre doing is dissing him really. You call him "the cash cow" "the A side" " a superstar"
    "a PPV star " etc right ??? BUT I have not seen a single one of you claim.
    Canelo is a CHAMPION, he is a fighting champion, he is the best in the world at his weight. Sorry that wasn't a fair question because no one knows what Canelo's weigh class is LOL
    Pardon me if I am wrong but isn't this Boxing??? A contest between two men of equal size who fight & the better man winning & being called CHAMPION ???
    So youre promoting Canelo as anything BUT a fighter think about it
