Canelo talks shit, then doesn't confirm he'll fight GGG this year.

haha, that was what I thought.

 

[BadAss2961]

Lmao I did not expect the translator to translate that part.

First time i've seen something like that. lol

 

[Tubie]

Canelo talks shit, then doesn't confirm he'll fight GGG this year. Put on the gloves again? Come on.

Said the exact same shit after his last fight and still ducked GGG.

He's full of shit.

 

[Syder]

Amir Khan, Born to Runner-Up.

 

[K1LLER7]

Hunter goin in lol

 

[Syphon Filter]

canelo is lowkey ducking ggg lol.

 

[Ether_Snake]

How can ANYONE think Khan could fight GGG? Are you kidding? Look at how this fight went, it'd be over quicker with G.

edit: oh I see he was saying Canelo should fight GGG, haha.

 

[studyguy]

Lmao boxers calling out on someone else's behalf. Wild. Just do it Canelo, Oscar can't shelter his boy forever.

 

[BadAss2961]

Khan and Hunter salty. They wanna see Canelo get fucked now against GGG. lol

 

[Tubie]

Canelo has lost already so it's not like he's protecting a perfect record. I don't get why he's ducking GGG, that fight will make him a lot of money too.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I don't think Canelo/GGG happens, at least not til probably Fall 2017. Canelo is probably the top draw in boxing now, while GGG is largely still an unknown on the mainstream scene, Oscar is going to want to milk that golden goose a couple more times before putting him in any danger.

 

[Leunam]

Tomorrow Canelo continues to say that GGG has to earn the fight. Business as usual.

 

[jchap]

The fight is ON*

*If GGG is willing to take a 10-90 split

Some think if you lose to Floyd, it doesn't count.

 

[VoxPop]

GGG Canelo gun be gud

 

[studyguy]

GGG just sitting in the ring lmao

 

[thehypocrite]

Khan and Hunter salty. They wanna see Canelo get fucked now against GGG. lol

I like Canelo, but I don't agree with the teasing shit. Fight him or not. Don't tease.

 

[NomarTyme]

Damn didn't know the fight was already over. Wish there was a thread about this event.

 

[Tubie]

The fight is ON*

*If GGG is willing to take a 10-90 split

*And go down to 155 too lol.

 

[T-Rex.]

lol at GGG just chilling in the ring

He and his promotion company make a ton of money no matter who they fight at this point. If GGG were a huge draw and could add to Canelo's draw power, I think Canelo's people would be more likely to make the fight.

Canelo has to fight Golovkin or he gets stripped.

GGG needs this more than Canelo does right now for sure. Golden Boy won't put their cow on the chopping block so easily but one can dream.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Canelo has to fight Golovkin or he gets stripped.

Nobody cares about belts anymore.

 

[PR_rambo]

what else is there for Canelo to do anyway? Now that it's been ordered, he can't run back to a Cotto rematch like I believe he'd initially planned. Dropping the belt Will be more damaging than losing it to GGG IMO

 

[Syder]

Golovkin made me a believer with his performance against Lemieux. Álvarez can't dodge this match forever.

 

[El Topo]

He's hot right now. Getting beaten (or worse) by GGG would stop that momentum.

 

[Pastry]

Is there a vine of the knockout?

edit: found this https://vine.co/v/iQrFFaLUHFH

Damn what a nasty hit. Dude was lights out before he ever touched the floor like Kirkland.

Yea, and even if he goes up to 160 and loses to GGG he can still just go back to 154 and beat every jobber they put in front of him till he retires.

 

[illmatic22]

Well, I didn't say otherwise. I agree.

Golovkin's big problem is he's a big risk with little reward. His PPV #'s against Lemioux were poor.

Exactly. It's weird how relatively unknown GGG considering he has such a crowd pleasing style.

Pacquiao match.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

All bluster. They wouldn't strip Canelo.

 

[Officerrob]

Sucks, but Canelo isn't fighting GGG anytime soon

 

[Oxn]

Fight Lemule if not ggg

 

[Beefy]

So what happens to Khan now?

 

[TuXx]

Canelo has to fight Golovkin or he gets stripped.

WBC's a joke. They aint stripping shit.

 

[Tenebrous]

So what happens to Khan now?

Easy fight, Garcia rematch, Brook, retirement.

 

[BadAss2961]

Exactly. It's weird how relatively unknown GGG considering he has such a crowd pleasing style.

It's because he's from Kazakhstan and doesn't have a big name on his resume yet.

Just imagine if he was Mexican, American, or Puerto Rican,

 

[illmatic22]

Pacquiao match.

Pac would die.

 

[Beefy]

Easy fight, Garcia rematch, Brook, retirement.

So a win, then two loses?

 

[Eila]

Has Canelo fought a bigger guy than him? He always seems to have 20 pounds on the other guy.

Why is it that these promotion companies won't let the news agencies air the knockout footage? Are replays that much of a business concern? If you are Golden Boy, don't you want footage of this knockout on SportsCenter within like 10 minutes of the fight ending so that you can get more exposure with casuals?

 

[Farsi]

Feels good paying for a boxing PPV and getting your moneys worth.

HBO pops good numbers with their PPV replays. That's why they don't show it entirely.

 

[Leunam]

That punch would have knocked out a lot of guys, not just Khan.

 

[thehypocrite]

[Tenebrous]

That punch would have knocked out a lot of guys, not just Khan.

It'd take out anyone below the MW division, most MWs, and probably most SMW too.

Khan is a 140/147 fighter, and no-one in those divisions could take a punch like that. Hopefully he's alright.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

What a knockout!
