ggg needs Canelo, not the other way around.

[KeyboardWarrior]

If you think canelo's legacy gets hurt by this you must be new to boxing! This has happen plenty of times trew out boxing history.... For example did Mayweather or Pacquiao hurt there legacys when they took 1000 years to finally fight each other huh?????????

I'm from San Diego and in 3 days Canelos stock has taken a clear nosedive.
We're talking about a cultural legacy of warriors that this kid is clearly disrespecting and not a part of.

San Diego in da house!!! It doesn't matter every successful boxer go's trew some **** like this... Boxing has a lot of crazy diva fans, many boxers have commented On how fans and the media are quick to turn on you... One day they love you and the next they hate you, haters just hating canelo will fight GGG eventually, canelo calling shots!

I think this is misunderstood. GGG had leverage on him because he was the mandatory. By relinquishing the belt that leverage is gone and Canelo is in the drivers seat in the negotiations AND the belt is still in play because GGG holds it. The weight won't be an issue. Money will be.

This right here.

[SplitSecond]

They need each other. The people want this fight. The people have spoken.

In 3-4 years ggg will probably retire and be forgotten about (if he doesn't sacrifice for glory and land a big fight). Canelo will still have another 5 years in front of him at that point.


Meanwhile there will be like 10 posters on here saying "member that time Canelo ducked ggg?". While millions of people will be paying for Canelo fights.

This maybe true but it doesn't take away the fact that Can'tNelo blatantly ducked GGG. You talk about making millions but GGG biggest money fights are mayweather Can'tNelo and Jotto all who ducked him.

Yea, except ggg is not willing to make any consesions to get the fights he needs to propel his career.

How do you figure? He offered 168 to Froch and Chavez, 154 to Floyd, and CWs to Cotto and Canelo before they were MW champs. Who else shows that much flexibility?

Because ggg is in no position to "offer" anything to those guys. What's the offer 500k..800k maybe??

Obviously the weight concession, and no outsized purse demands. What else is he supposed to offer, headgear?
