Comments Thread For: Monroe Confident: Canelo Will Beat Gennady Golovkin

[deanrw]

In all the fights he had since 2012, I have a hard time even giving any opponent a round against him. Some might think GGG is overrated and easy work but I cannot see it.

[REYESdelBOXEO]

Yes he did !


Golovkin created the " anyone from 154-168 " division.....

Then he moved to the " anyone from 156-164, except Lara " division

Great post! Hahaha! 100% facts!

all I need to know is that the one guy with the resume doesn't want any part of the guy without one...

My point exactly. .mention resume to try n save da ducking by canelo..3g resume will look better by having canelo name...just name wise not skills wise..just waiting for da guy with da better resume to step up n fight da all hype GGG. .lets marinate

[Brakus]

The same way GGG chickened away from Ward.

How is it the same?? These are two completely different set of circumstances. Let me educate you so you don't make the same mistake in the future

Ward is not in GGGs weight division (2 divisions higher FYI)
Ward was never GGGs mandatory.
GGG never vacated his belt to avoid his mandatory.


Canelo is in GGGs weight class.
Canelo was GGGs mandatory challenger.
Canelo vacated his WBC middleweight title to delay/ duck GGG.

So as you can plainly see-- These are not the same situations.

Nor should he

The A-side does not let some B-side peasant from Whogivesafu/ckastan dictate terms.

Mayweather was in no position to call shots with Oscar when he moved up.
Oscar dictated ALL terms.......even the amount Floyd weighed.

Floyd was contracted to enter the ring at no less than 150lbs.

Oscar made Floyd gain weight

And that's what the B-side did in order to get his foot in the door to superstardom.

Hopkins was in the SAME position GGG was in when he was in negotiations with Oscar.

He agreed to the CATCHWEIGHT and made the fight he wanted happen.
Hopkins is bigger than GGG and he made the weight...why can't Golovkin?

What is so precious about Saint Gennedy?

He's the B-side..since he's such a tiny MW he should shave the pounds like B-Hop did and MAKE IT HAPPEN.

There are no other big fights for him...that's why Canelo has him by the balls.

Golovkin candrop the weight now when he's kinda' old...or drop it later when he's old as fu.cks.

Golovkin (a teeny tiny MW) let his biggest payday sail away over a few lousy pounds.

That's is not surprising behavior for a guy that stayed in the amateurs until he was dragged away kicking and screaming.

That's not surprising behavior for a guy that demanded a catchweight against a bigger fighter when was in Canelo's shoes.

[MC Hammer]

Damn that is one protracted uppercut in your sig. It's like he wanted to wipe the floor behind his feet with it before bringing it up and hitting Cotto with it.

Very nice counter and duck against a slow Cotto who needlessly reached, but you can see why Mayweather picked him apart. I'd still like to see Canelo against Floyd at 155 because if Canelo actually has just a little stamina and speed at 155, we saw what old Cotto at 154 did against Floyd, saw what Maidana and even Berto did, so if Canelo could actually fight that way he would kick Floyd's ass because he has way more natural power than those guys. Even fighting at 152 and fighting like ****, Floyd said that Canelo hit him with one body shot that "he still feels." That was a year after the fight or something.

If Canelo could actually fight that style, that's one fight where Fl0mos would actually be right about the weight and strength disparity and Floyd's body would fold eventually.

But, Canelo has never shown he can fight that style.

I thought this was about Monroe's opinion on Canelo vs ggg?

[Brakus]

Ok. So... Wanting to unify, wanting to set title defense record, fighting at full limit of division, wanting to fight other champs: bad for boxing. Vacating belts to avoid your mandatory, fighting at your own personal division, demanding challengers fight at your own CW, not living up to your word, fighting guys 2 divisions below: good for boxing. Ok. Got it...

Well said!! Agree 100%

[Kigali]

I thought this was about Monroe's opinion on Canelo vs ggg?

They all moist over Ex Boxino Champ Willie Monroe Jr's comments.

We're dealing with a fragile,insecure fanbase.

Refugees from Pacland and Eastern Europeans(and their mexican flunkies) hard-up for a hero.

ONE fight...does not make Canelo a REAL middleweight....sure he has a "title" but look where it came from...Cotto... a guy even smaller than himself.

If you want use that as a way to make Canelo a TRUE middleweight then God bless you and your lack or understanding.


So what if Alvarez had a belt at 160...it came from a damn Hobbit exiled from the lower weights.

Since GGG is so tiny and the B-side he should accepted the catchweight the way a B-side Hopkins did with Oscar.

Hopkins is bigger than GGG....he made the catchweight...GGG could have EASILLY done the same....being that he's such an itty-bitty Middleweight.

[Larry the boss]

I agree, GGG has to fight at a certain distance to be successful,Canelo has more tools in his tool box
