Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: No Mayweather Model, I Made Canelo-GGG For Fans!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya admits that he could have easily matched his biggest star, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (49-1-1, 34 KOs), against opponents who presented far less risk than Gennady Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs). Last Saturday night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, De La Hoya officially announced that a deal was reached for September 16th - with the venue and location to be determined.

Chavez, Smith and Khan are his last 3 fights.

Not much room to talk Cokey.

And if Canelo loses he will go back to Angulo, Kirkland and Jose Cotto

Oscar and his ginger had no choice but to make the fight. After a dud last weekend, he needed to redeem himself after conning so many people (not myself) into buying a sparring session.

... Oscar didn't "make" it... GGG was Cotto's mandatory for the WBC belt and the "lineal" title...

pretty good, dont let it go 5 years before you take on anothe formidal foe like mayweather did.

As a GGG fan i must call it BS , they could 100% skip the GGG fight and go the BJS route , EASILY as well , they would be fighting for a title @ MW vs an unbeaten fighter and they would make crap ton of money on this fight , then they will cherry pick someone as a "stay busy" fight and before you know it GGG is 37 , they are taking a big risk (with a great reward of course) by taking GGG @ sep , do i feel its an obvious fight to make ? sure , but its not in the boxing DNA lately to make the risky fights ...... lets hope it changes , but 100% they didnt HAVE to make it..... not even close.
