Why are the media calling this fight "Canelo vs. Golovkin" when GGG is the champ?

    It amazes me the inflated sense of importance, greatness and value ggg fans have of him.

      Shrug, Canelo is the bigger name. Welcome to business world and prize fighting.

        This "A-side" nonsense is disrespectful to boxing and its traditions.

        And please don't say he's the lineal champ because that is an absolute joke in this case considering he didn't even beat a middleweight to win (or defend) the title, fought at 155lbs catchweight each time and then vacated his actual world title and moved to another weight class.
        Ggg him self knows canelo is more important than the titles, dont take my word , ask billy joe saunders..

          Marketing. This is prize fighting, everyone is out to make money including the fighters. Why would you put Golovkin first instead of the guy that has sold millions of PPV?

            Are you new to the sport?

            Canelo is the clear A-side. GGG is a star in his own right but his belts are not as big of negotiating chips as Canelo's consistent ability to sell PPVs though no one else can.

                Who cares?

                Canelo is the A side, he will call the shots.

                    Exactly just like super MW and lightweights were calling out Floyd. They want that paper
