Comments Thread For: Canelo vs. Kovalev: Golden Boy Makes Low Offer For 9/14 Fight

[Boxing_1013]

And GGG fought Jacob's and Canelo twice, now he has to earn another shot at CANELO after getting robbed in the first and arguably deserving the W in the 2nd as well?

If canelo decides to go another route then GGG whould fight someone decent but he doesn't need to earn anything.

Good post man...honestly the over the top 'hate' GGG gets from all angles makes me a little indifferent to him really challenging himself at this point in his career...don't get me wrong, the boxing fan in me would love to see him in with Charlo, Andrade, Smith etc.

But GGG's obviously been a great fighter imo, but a lot who don't like him just give him very little kudos...why try to please people who you can't ever please? Why not take the money when you can? I can't be mad at him or any other similar fighter for doing that.

And as you said, his recent record showed he certainly will mix it up with anyone at MW...some people still slight GGG for the Jacobs negotiations when I believe he actually gave Jacobs more money than mandated just to do the fight...like how can you hate on that lol...but some do, just fans being fans I suppose.

I would also add that the insistence that he rematch Jacobs is strange to me...as is the insistence that Canelo beat Danny easier...I thought Danny was impressive at times in each fight but he never really came to fight and win in either one...I had each fight as clear for GGG and Canelo, and clearer for GGG than Canelo...8-4 plus the KD...vs 7-5 for Canelo.

I guess we all see what we want to see sometimes...but the narrative that Canelo won 10-2 while GGG got a gift is just not what I saw in either fight...I'm still looking for a fight for GGG where his opponent outlands him in more than 3 rounds...that would make for an interesting fight probably...

But until someone really dominates him, hurts him, and/or can negate his offense while landing often on him, I just think he will be a live dog against anyone around 160...I would like to see him in vs Charlo, Andrade and Smith though, as well as Canelo. Just hope if he pretty clearly wins any of those he gets the credit for it.

A good fight if not weight drained

He was responding to me & I wasn't getting aggressive but I'm sure your real tough in real life. I can easily say right back at ya that the ones who claim someones a certain way in real life are just deflecting because you won't admit your a ggg fan that can't deal with the fact you backed a fraud. You backed a fraud & make excuses for him but say your not a fan?

You are strange little ***.
You can look up my post history that I predicted Canelo would win both fights.
Reality is not your friend but you're going to have to live with it, clown.

Low ball offers, catch weights, stacked wraps, paid off judges, PEDs, rehydration clauses, protected by the sanctiong bodies and the NSAC. Getting every little advantage over a 36 year old past prime fighter. The Canelo way.

Low ball offer that is almost 4x more than Kovalov ever made???

And Stacked Wraps???? Learn the rules Abel.

Every lil rule??? GGG changed both the ref. And judges.... Do you even know about boxing???

GGG won both fights against the drug cheat but he ended up getting bummed

GGG won both fights against the drug cheat but he ended up getting bummed

you muppets used to say that G could beat Ward

turns out he couldn't even beat a short fat red kid with a gammy knee

That's really pointless fight to try to force. Both should fight top rivals They have in their weight-classes.

I agree with this, Kovalev should fight Bivol in a unification (If his mandatory fight isn’t coming off), Canelo should unify with Andrade, not really fuss with the third GGG fight, GGG should fight someone like Charlo.

[harry-greb]

Canelo is on a flat fee the more he pays out the less he makes. He's willing to take a massive risk moving up two divisions, people want him to make far less money to do so as well? He's offering the guy 3x what he's ever made. Any ridicule is flat out ridiculous.

He could just fight some bum and pocket more money like little G is doing, is that what people want instead?

Surely kovalev's purse isn't coming out of Canelo's end?

[Boxing Scene]

They're also not saying how bad they're gonna weight drain him and rehydration clause his ass as well. Just a ****ing joke.

[Boxing Scene]

It's a brave move if Canelo fights Kovalev, but the lowball offer makes it seem not serious. Canelo and his team probably see vulnerabilities in Sergey, in that he was ko'd by Eleider, and doesn't take body punches too well. Kov punches harder than GGG but lacks the skill of Gennady, and especially Andrade, Smith, Saunders and Charlotte.

How is it ****ing brave to make the 175 pound champion fight below the 175 pound limit? It's not brave it's ****ing cowardly. Fight at the INTENDED weight limit or don't fight the champion. STAY AT MIDDLEWEIGHT OR DON'T TRY TO GET AN ADVANTAGE.
