    Fine. Here's the thing though. GGG is clearly the biggest threat and toughest challenge for Canelo.

    I give him credit for facing such skilled fighters like Lara and Trout.

    But GGG is the man to beat. Fight him.

    No excuse. Fight needs to happen tomorrow.

    Because he is already ducking GGG.

    Because Golden Boy decided to put Lara of all people on PPV with zero interest from the casual viewer, and an acquired taste for even the hardcore boxing fan (more or less saying that Alvarez can carry the show on his own) but a fight with Golovkin needs to build more interest? It's practically already a duck.

    Well, he's not ducking perse, but rather standing up straight refusing to fight him while the WBC obviously is having his back...

    ^^

    Agreed.

    Even if he doesn't duck him he will drain him to 155/152.

    Refusing to fight at 160 lb limit is ducking him.
