    Of course it was GGG who wants the Canelo fight more, but in the ring Canelo did say explicitly that he would fight GGG as soon as possible. There was no need for him to say that if it was as you suggest.

    OK, with regard to this and the previous point I'm sure plenty of people would still be complaining about Canelo. I did not word that well.

    But I would not complain; at least Canelo would be in a perfectly logical position. Even now, while I have voiced criticism I have never called Canelo "El Pollo" or any other derogatory nickname.

    The bottom line IMHO is that some of the criticism is justified; Canelo's words and actions did not always match up, and he could have made a better selection of opponents in terms of Khan and Smith. Making people think he would fight GGG and instead vacating and fighting Smith cannot be completely justified.

    That's not saying that anyone else's behaviour is flawless ... we're just discussing Canelo's career here.

    Give it up, Kid. You don't even have the brains to post on a boxing message board. You're sad. Please try to improve yourself. Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.

    It don't take a lot of brains to know who the Lineal Champ is. If you want to go through life in denial go ahead, but whether you like it or not Alvarez is the Lineal Champion. Boxers don't become great by saying "give me my belt" and have a title handed to them. You become Great by Fighting the Man and Beating the Man. The Man of GG's division is Saul Canelo Alvarez.

    We need to see this fight : Canelo vs GG Golovkin. Lets make it happen in September, lets us see who comes out on top.
