Comments Thread For: Posturing Won't Get Cotto-Canelo Winner Out of GGG Bout

[MC Hammer]

But Rios will have to fight canelo at 155 buddy.....triple GGG was gonna go light middleweight......either way we all know that the mayweather fight would never happen with golovkin....canelo if it is true about him fighting Rios ....then it's shameful in my eyes and there's no defending it

He was going to go one pound south of the fight we're talking about... But I agree fighting Rios or Bradley would be terrible. Just as bad as Fighting Josesito was.

I'm not interested in seeing the Cotto/Canelo winner against GGG because I think it will be another GGG mismatch. If Cotto wins, he should vacate. Maybe his reputation will suffer among the haters on this site, but I think history will be much kinder to him. His career has been not only great, but fascinating too.

If Canelo wins, he should either got back to 154 or vacate. He should be held to a different standard than Cotto regarding MW catchweights because: 1) he's actually big enough to be a middleweight; and 2) he has padded his record with wins over overmatched AND outsized opponents (while Cotto has made a career out of fighting bigger men...with an exception or two).

I really think that this is a more important fight for Canelo than Cotto. If Cotto loses, he can ride off into the sunset...maybe have one more easy fight on his way out. IF Canelo loses, where does he go? Does he squeeze back into 154, or does he fight mediocre opponents at MW?

I agree with this.

the thing many people seem to miss is this, if they do a CW at 155, and Canelo upsets GGG, then Canelo now has 3 MW belts without ever fighting at 160.

I don't know how any boxing fan can say that is ok.

Canelo has been fighting at MW for awhile now. He can't claim he isn't a MW while weighing 168, 30 days out for a fight against Cotto.

Canelo is complaining about size, but he was fine fighting Cotto and Floyd, smaller fighters.


Now that Canelo will be mandated to fight someone who is supposed to beat him, he's gone all diva. (He says fans criticize because he is great, lol!).

It's time to man up, live up to the hype of being the next great boxer.

Kudos to Team GGG for standing up for the integrity of boxing

This is why Canelo doesn't want GGG.

But....But.... I will fight anyone from 154 to 168. Well, except for Ward and Canelo.

Yes im a lil g hater, and for you with jack johnson pic, ward coined the term of little g...This all goes back to all of the BS you idiots were saying about Floyd, and how youre being hypocrites. When floyd was on top I was hoping for the day when you guys have a boxer you liked, so I could use the same arguments you used against Floyd...now since that time is here all you guys do is cry, no facts to support your ludicrous statements, remember when "floyd having belts meant nothing because ANYONE can win a belt, lol. Or when Floyd should move up weight classes to face better comp, lol. Or when floyd sold 900k vs guerrero and it was considered a flop (lil g did 150k). I'm loving trashing this guy, pay back is a mutha

[HURTFEELINGS]

U dont care about a MW unification bout? Why do you even watch boxing then?

Im getting away from boxing, because since I've been on this site, I see you "so-called" hardcore boxing fans, dont even support boxing ...see PBC. You guys claim they have nothing but mis-matches, but wanna watch the biggest mis-matches in lil g. The fans of the sport make the sport, and since i've seen what a lot of you guys think and therefor do, ive lost my passion for boxing a little, so im just gonna fall back for a while until someone catches my eye, but until then I will trash this bum until he fights some competition, but he's busy ducking Ward...might have to get my combat sports fix with MMA.

By Jake Donovan - It doesn’t seem to take much to please some in the boxing industry.

Miguel Cotto and Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez are less than a month away from their head-on collision, which will take place November 21 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada. The World middleweight championship is at stake, with Cotto making the first defense of his crown.

Looming overhead, however, is the winner mandated to face the man widely regarded as the best middleweight on the planet – unbeaten Gennady Golovkin. The reigning middleweight titlist is less than two weeks removed from a one-sided 8th round stoppage of David Lemieux in front of a sold-out Madison Square Garden in his first-ever unification bout and also his first Pay-Per-View headliner.

Both Cotto and Alvarez have already begun to speak of what terms they would likely demand in order for such a fight to take place. Alvarez’ name has already been floated as – with a win – a luring prize for the victor in the November 7 clash between welterweight titlist Timothy Bradley and Brandon Rios.

Fight Andy Lee unify all the belts and be the King of the middleweights. Rule the division for some years,take on all comers,be feared and avoided,WBC,IBF,WBA,WBO .fight Carl froch when he returns next year for a huge fight at Wembley....watch canelo drain himself repeatedly against welterweight or light middles until a shock happens and he loses because has was weakened at the weight......golovkin make 2 or 3 million a fight....travel to anybody yard to do it....that is golovkn will do......golovkin is the boogeyman man for canelo and cotto and they know it....war golovkin

[bojangles1987]

Boxing fans are so ridiculous. So many are actually happy and rooting against good fights because they are obsessed with loving or hating Golovkin.

"Hahaha one of the best fighters in the world will never get a big fight that's so awesome and I hope he doesn't!" I mean, what the hell is wrong with you?
