Maybe, but his competition has also been a step up which is a good thing.
Canelo being the bigger name can do this for another 2-3 years if he wants too
The fans enabling him is another huge gripe of mine, they still spend their hard earned $$$ on these bs fights. And this is coming from someone who is Mexican, and I don't mean born in the USA with Mexican parents, I was born in Mexico. I just can't support the stuff he has been doing recently.
Exactly which is why I said he will be a old man soon, and it won't even matter if they fight...
The one that smashed Williams few months back...
The problem with that fight and possibly the Lemieux one is that the risk/reward ratios are both arguably worse than a fight with GGG would be. We're getting to a point now where he's ducking just to duck and the money has nothing to do with it.
This is the first time Canelo has fought above 154 (155) and people are upset he's been putting the fight off? He's never been in GGG's weight class until now. I don't care about the technicalities in the Cotto fight and the belt he won. Everybody knew Cotto was no damn middleweight champion, the belt was just put up for grabs because it made the fight even more intriguing. He dropped the belt because he wasn't ready to fight at middleweight and still fought ay 154. He's moving up 11 pounds to fight Chavez. This will be his first fight to get accustomed to the new weight. Why should Canelo get **** for taking his time? What rush is he in? He's 26. It's not his fault GGG is aging. How come GGG doesn't get **** for calling out somebody who was in one division lower than him? Why doesn't GGG move up? People are hypocritical as hell.
I gave Canelo tons of credit for his career up to Lara. After that he has been going for low hanging fruit.
This would have all been good if it wasn't for Canelo running his mouth about how he was ready. No one would have said anything if he would have said, "I'm a JMW, I won the MW belt but I'm not ready to move up all the way, give me some time." Instead it was "We don't **** around." and making it seem like the fight was next. He knew the conditions of winning that MW title and now acts like he wasn't ready for the result, saying he was forced by the WBC to try and make the fight. He knew what the conditions were when he fought Cotto for it and the even spotted him an extra fight with Khan so he could get ready, so why is he saying he didn't want to be pressured into making the fight?

GGG is a monster, and not somebody you fight on the first fight moving up a weight class. That's a huge risk for anybody. Im for letting fighters getting accustomed to new weight classes before fighting the #1's in the new divisions.
The Canelo/JR fight is a tough fight for Canelo. Not because Jr is some monster, but because of his attributes. Canelo has had trouble with boxers with good movement. JR is going to thump with him. He's a a lot bigger than Canelo and has probably the best chin in boxing. He's going to take it to Canelo, and we'll see what happens if Canelo's power is still there with the bigger fighters. If it doesn't and Chavez just stays In front of him all night with no respect, it will be an exciting fight.

He was 169.5 last week.
Ward did say no. They offered him the fight twice during his drama with Goosen.

Listen, I dislike both fighters (ggg and canelita) both run their mouths and dont fight the best in the division. Canelita been fighting meat packers and taxi cab drives until the LARA fight. Same with GGG. He took on a smaller brock and had trouble with him. Let these chumps beat up on each other and the winner can fight one of the Charlo brothers. Charlo's would work these dudes.
