Checkmate: If GGG Gets The IBF Belt. What Is Canelo Gon Do?

[The Big Dunn]

My guess is he will continue to make fights on HBO.

Canelo is still Lineal. The man that beat the man. Golovkin has never been the man. Something he has to actually fight for to achieve.

why do people still care about crap like this when its obvious ducking makes it irrelevant. martinez, cotto, and canelo all ducked ggg so being the man means nothing. you were a man but now you are not longer a man when you refuse to fight.

Pretty sure there's an offer for a Canelo fight waiting for Golovkin to accept. Lineal means more than any Org title and always has. You know something you actually have to beat the true champ or best in the division to achieve. It's a big deal.


Martinez didn't duck Golovkin. 0:41. "Sergio has never turned down the fight with Gennady"

[Clegg]

I didn't expect the Khan/Chavez Jr fights, there's always another bullshit opponent out there. Maybe Chavez Sr will come out of retirement for revenge.

Maybe Golovkin will accept the offer and finally step up?

I think the fight gets done for September. Would be disappointed in both if it doesn't.

[satiev1]

He will fight another ww or jmw.

[Robbie Barrett]

He will fight another ww or jmw.

Who will Golovkin? He's wanting to, he just called out a retired 40 year old WW.

[Lopez_Boxing]

canelo will rule 164.5 and say he cant make 160

GGG is willing to go to 164, but the 1/2 pound may be a deal breaker. So nelo might be good

[_Maxi]

Maybe Golovkin will accept the offer and finally step up?

“After much consideration, today, I instructed my team at Golden Boy Promotions to continue negotiating a fight with Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin and to finalize a deal as quickly as possible,” Mexico’s Alvarez said in the statement.

“For the entirety of my career, I have taken the fights that no one wanted because I fear no man. Never has that been more true than today. I will fight GGG, and I will beat GGG, but I will not be forced into the ring by artificial deadlines.

“I am hopeful that by putting aside this ticking clock, the two teams can now negotiate this fight, and GGG and I can get in the ring as soon as possible and give the fans the fight they want to see.”

Then proceeds to move down to 154, his "natural weight".

But Golovkin is ducking doe.
