Official 2016 Boxing Thread: 11/5/2016 - Vargas/Pacquiao Top Rank PPV.

I don't agree at all. The WBC needs to do the right thing and strip Canelo if he doesn't want to fight at the middleweight limit, period. Not to mention wanting to side step his mandatory.

Edit: Or he can just change his nickname to Canela.

When has the WBC ever done the right thing? This is the same organization that basically stripped Sergio of his title to prop up JCC Jr. GGG is better off moving up to 168.

Who's caping? Y'all dudes are out of control with this caping nonsense. Everybody wants to see Canelo fight GGG, if not lets see him fight Daniel Jacobs. Then maybe move up, he doesn't need to move up and fight the number guys at a heavier weight just cause the guys at his weight are scared. Think about the risk vs. reward for Golovkin moving up should he lose a decision at a higher weight and decide to move back down. Then he gets the same flack for not having enough of a name and is coming off a loss.

Who should he fight in your opinion? Please let us know what fighter's nuts your gargling.

I think he has fights left before moving up, especially considering he isn't a big guy by any means. Argument could be made for him to move down just the same.

:lol: where did this come from fam?

What top fighters are lining up to fight him?

All people are saying is they wish somebody finally steps up so we can see what he's really made of, wouldn't call it caping. I mean aren't you tired of him being forced to fight these bum *** dudes just to stay active?

I want GGG to get the chance to prove how talented he is. Without decent competition he could either be a great fighter or an overrated hype job. Most of us just want to see which is which.
 
It ain't nothing new in boxing, you either take pennies to get a big name or you fight at a catchweight.
GGG gotta pay to play.
He came out calling Ward, and when it came time he passed.
He got called out by Lara over a year and a half ago, yet he didn't want that fight and decided to fight lesser known bums.

Do I want to see him fight top notch competition? Yes, absolutely.
Cause I'm not sipping that Kool aid.

Geale
Quillin
Lara
Lee
Jacobs
Douglas
Eubank

That's a short list of fighters I'd like to see him square off against. I'm also pretty sure he could wash half that list but it won't happen unless he either takes pennies or fights at a catchweight. Price you gotta pay to get your name out for people to check on you.
 
GGG already knocked out Geale. Anyway I think GGG should sign to Al Haymon. K2 and HBO are not doing him any favors. His last PPV bombed and he's going to be in no man's land forever.
 
Lara is a bum as far as building a name goes, Canela beat him and it did literally nothing for him.

As I've mentioned before, I really do believe an effort to make Choc-Estrada 2 will be made for the fall on HBO #boxing

Lara had that fight won had he not let his foot off the gas and decided to get on his bicycle. 

I can understand that perspective, I just meant the win against Lara didn't help build Canela's name at all. Just as it wouldn't do anything for Golovkin.

I honestly think the best fight Golovkin can arrange if Canela keeps avoiding him is a showdown with Jacobs in NYC. Both have large fan bases in New York, titles, and actually fight at middleweight.

Just bought tickets to attend the Andre Ward fight in March, pretty juiced to get to see buddy live.

After the Bad Chad fight I really thought he would no longer fight in Oakland bc I thought demand for him would jump :smh:

Happy I dont have to fly to vegas tho to see him live

Agreed. Setting a terrible precedent going forward. He can cherrypick welters while he avoids true middleweights. 



He knows his size & strength advantages would all but evaporate fighting true MWs and he really doesn't have the ability to be winning fights on boxing ability alone.


But of course the WBC is going to allow him the carte blanche because of his bankability. 

He's not setting a precedent that hadn't already been set by so many fighters. :lol:

You guys either have a fickle memory, or a selective memory.

Regardless of whether it's right or wrong It's what superstars do. Look at Pac and Mayweather.
 
We haven't really seen Golovkin hurt yet, at all. He's taken left hooks from Stevens and walked right through them. Totally disabled a power punch in Lemieux. Took plain as day shots from Monroe and smirked. I don't know what he's better at, giving a shot or taking one. If Haymon did decide to throw Danny at Golovkin I'd pick Golovkin by stoppage in 8 or less.
 
Amir Khan will come in as the bigger man with his beach bod against Canelo. Just wait.

Presale tickets for GGG at The Forum in LA go on sale in like 40 minutes.

Not impressed with his girl, she looks like she spends 2-3 hours applying make up, that if you kiss them type girls on the cheek, you'd have residue all over your lips and looks like you ate a powdered sugar donut.

Hope she signed Khan's life insurance, to get all that money.
