Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Canelo and The Right Amount of 'Marinate'

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Tris Dixon - TIME and again in the sport you hear the twenty-first century boxing phrase of a fight being left to marinate'. The word choice is something Noble Art fans have rightly become wary and sceptical of. Yet on September 16 in Las Vegas the perfect ingredients with the recipe for a legitimate mega-fight to stand alongside the others in the rich tapestry of boxing history will be added to the pot at the perfect time as middleweights Gennady Golovkin...

Looks like Oscar let the fight Marinate too long. Floyd event looks to be the bigger event.

Maybe the bigger event, but canelo vs ggg is by far the biggest fight in a great 2017.

Oscar Dela Hoya the FU**ING marinator...

They marinated Lomachenko vs Rigondeaux also over 2 years and now finally on December 9th it happens.

The right amount of "Marinate" would have been September 2016

That whole WBC belt fiasco could have been avoided.

But September 2017 is not bad, I'll take it, but the right amount of marinate was last September 2016.

Oscar should also be glad those two fights didn't land on the same date in September.

It would have affected both PPV's negatively if that happened.

This nonsense claiming ggg was at his absolute best a yr or two ago is hyperbole ******ation. Hes 35 yrs old ffs,he hadnt fought anyone or become famous enough until he used a 15 day deadline to strongarm canelo while he didn't even know who his promoter was going to be so of course couldn't sign in 15 days,esp. K2 joke promotions negotiating. Canelo barely won his title 1 yr & 3 mos before him & ggg signed to fight,but now that their fighting his fanboys wanna claim he aged someone by moving up to their division to fight them 1yr & 3 mos after winning the lineal belt,& it isnt like they couldve signed sooner as ggg has admitted he wanted more $$.

I've been reading fanboys 4 months on here claiming canelo would never fight him,that hed get killed etc. Yet these same clowns have made it clear they never wanted their mancrush 2 fight the best,they were scared shîtless of this fight happening & were saying ggg deserved more $$ etc., but now that it's happening the new phàggg excuse is he aged ggg by signing 2 fight him a yr later,Despite ggg intentionally delaying the fight thinking hes the a side, & the fight is much bigger now that ggg piggiebacked off canelos fame & more peeps actually know who he is,& its moronic 2 claim hes a different fighter today than 1.5 yrs ago just because he was exposed vs the 1st two opponents who wasn't complete nohopers.

Gggs probably a better fighter today than then because he's actually fought a good opponent now in Jacobs, he's actually gained 2 fights of actual champ experience as Ww brook & Jacobs are the 1st semi legit champs hes ever fought the rest were hobos like wade or vacant undefended beltholders like lemeiux.

Fights being marinated is bad for the fans, and good for business. I want the best to fight the best, at their best. I don't care how many PPV's they do honestly. Although I hope they do well because they put in the work.
Another note to fans. When a fighter/promoter was/is being reluctant to fight a guy, and all of a sudden they want to fight them. It means they think they see something they cant take advantage of that they couldn't before. Just saying.

Am glad this fight is happening, they fought over money but it didn't take too long for it to happen at the right time. I just think its more of the right time for canelo than GGG.
