Canelo looked great, and Smith came to fight not lay down. They really need to make the GGG fight now. I don't want to wait 3 years!

When you can make mad money fighting relative unknowns why risk it? Same reason I think Arum held out feeding Paq to Mayweather.

it was a pretty brutal body KO. Right in the breadbasket.
GGG has more to win from that payday than Canelo, no way I believe it.
He speaks for the fans. Typically does.

I wouldn't doubt it. I've been knocked out by a bodyshot before when my friends and I used to box each other. That shit hurts, fam.
Going by what's going on here, I don't think GGG backed out at all. Trying to add some fuel to the flames is more like it.

Canelo would get destroyed by GGG, it is why he doesn't want to fight him even next year.

Canelo's people don't want to risk his draw power against a guy that probably doesn't bring that much more (in terms of popularity) yet. If they can do big money fights against tomato cans, they'll keep doing it. Until then expect a lot of spin on why the fight isn't happening, May/Paq style.
I don't believe that. If he could, he'd fight GGG next.
It's business. Shitty business, but business all the same.
Yea, I don't think it's Canelo himself avoiding the fight, it must be the people managing him.

nah canelo would destroy ggg. he just revealed that ggg ducked him.

Yup. I agree 110%. Expect GGG v Canelo at the very end or close to the end of either's career. Like you said, expect another May v Pac style show.

how if none of them are nowhere near the popularity of may and pac? that fight is not even close to as anticipated as may vs pac.

I don't doubt that GGG and Canelo would fight tomorrow if it was up to them, but their promoters are going to make us all wait. I fully expect Canelo to fight Willie Monroe Jr next and GGG to fight Jacobs.

Canelo is on that trajectory. He's probably the biggest draw in the sport right now. It's GGG that is not in that ballpark, and like Roy Jones Jr. it's probably unfortunately a symptom of his own dominance, which is why Golden Boy is in no hurry to make that fight. If GGG were on the same level in terms of star power as Canelo, they'd make that fight in a heartbeat even if they thought their boy might lose. The money would be huge.
That's what I expect too. Monroe might give Canelo some problems because of his movement but he's no Lara. Way better than seeing Canelo tee off on Rosado. GGG vs Jacobs will be a good fight where GGG will use his jab and box. Similar to his fight against Lemeiux.
Actually the translation was slightly off. Canelo never said that GGG didn't want to fight. He just said GGG hasn't responded to his offer. The translator added the "he didn't want to accept". I'm sure we'll be hearing more about this soon.
He didn't "back out", but allegedly his camp just didn't respond to Canelo's offer.
Canelo showed his class. Underrated as a technician and body puncher.
I still see Canelo vs. GGG as a 50-50 fight. It'll be interesting to see what strategy each guy uses. GGG might try to keep Canelo at the end of his jab and Canelo might try an ambush strategy(keeping a tight defense and timing explosions).
Kellerman's a good dude.

Didn't see the fight last night, needed some sleep
Lemieux will get beaten up until the ref calls it off.

Golovkin turned down Golden Boy's offer because the fight wasn't scheduled until November of next year. There's no point in making a deal if it's over a year away, a lot can happen and business can change.

Welp. Canelo is supposedly out for at least the rest of the year with a hand injury.

I didnt expect him to fight again this year anyways.
