THey're waiting him out because they saw Mayweather's blue print of making as much money fighting garbage in the interim

My point being both those men milked the potential fight between the two for as much as they can and only made it when their buy rates turned bad

So yeah, Golden Boy will definitely make the Canelo vs GGG fight if/when they feel GGG has slowed down. That's exactly what they're doing. LOL...

Canelo and Co are simply fighting who they want, when they want. He can because he's a popular Mexican fighter and can fight anyone he wants. It's worked for them well so far, like fighting Kermit Cintron and Shane Mosley when shot. Fighting Matthew Hatton for a world title. Fighting Angulo after he got stopped twice . Fighting Kirkland when he was so inactive and no longer with Wolfe. And now fighting the weakest link at 154 rather than his mandatory Golovkin or even a top champion at 154.
He's opportunistic and they will continue to be opportunistic. If Golovkin happens to look terrible against Eubank, I'm sure they'll jump all over it. If he looks good, "need more time, not a middleweight yet!"
This ^^^^^.

I don't think Canelo intends to go to 160 for Golovkin, be it next year or 2 years from now. I think that decision will mostly fall on him being able to make 154. When he can't do that, expect him to go up. His world doesn't revolve around Golovkin and this fight doesn't mean half as much to Canelo as it does Golovkin. That's just a fact, no matter how much it pisses people off.Last edited by Redd Foxx; 07-08-2016, 08:35 AM.
