Nobody gives a f*ck whether he fights the young guys at 154. Everybody wants to see him fight Golovkin.

He should be boycotted if he going to Chavez jr and BJS when Golovkin, Charlo and other guys are there. If your a PPV star and your
fighting Khan, Liam Smith, Chavez Jr & BJS what is he doing but wasting time. Bnovelist have crazy post but for his standards its reasonable a little.

I've never bought any of his PPV's so my boycotting him wouldn't mean sh*t. I'll keep watching his fights because I love Boxing but I ain't paying to see 'em.

Of course if your not buying it doesn't make sense. I love boxing too but I'm not buying mismatches I watch fights not pushed fighters.
This isn't wrestling guys should earn there spot.

I can't stand Canelo so you know when I say this it must be true because I wouldn't be giving the punk credit he didn't deserve. Canelo has a better resume than a lot of active fighters and has beaten a lot of big names, more than a lot of other guys have.

He didn't really start getting coddled until he beat Cotto, and made the "We don't f*ck around" comment. That's when "Oh sh*t we better protect Canelo because his mouth is writing checks his ass can't cash" started in.

Oscar said in that lawsuit this year that he projects Golden Boy and Canelo EACH to earn $300-400 million over the next ten years - Now do you think Golden Boy/Oscar would risk Canelo losing in year ONE of that projection? Of course not - it's the Floyd/Haymon business model: Construct a star and then protect that star for 5-10 yrs by making sure that star never loses by fixing his fights /fixing the opponents with bribes/bonuses - This is what Golden Boy is now doing with Canelo and it's what Haymon is now doing with WIlder - Construct a star and then protect that star - the sanctioning bodies and networks don't care just as long as they get their %s - Welcome to modern day WWE boxing entertainment -

That the bottom line. It's all about HBO 24/7's, YouTube rants, and hype. Maybe Floyd didn't invent it but he perfected it and walked away practically a billionaire. Basically it's a model that exploits fan gullability and taking advantage of the fact that people have poor short term memory. PAC vs Mayweather II for 400 million? If people are stupid enough... it would be dumb for the promoters not to do it. Comparing these fighters to the likes of bob foster, sal Sanchez, mike McCallum, or even Erik morales, Trinidad, and Holyfield is like comparing the kardashians to Elizabeth Taylor and Rita Hayworth.

He was coddled before that I still don't see where is his CLEAR win against an a PRIME guy but his resume is that great. He got dominated 12-0 to Floyd
MARCOS MAIDANA didn't even get dominated like that. Is he a good fighter yes, but for a guy to be the face of the sport and have questionable results.
Ward is caked a ducker and he fought the guy even in a questionable result but Canelo not rematching Lara or Trout and has yet to face GGG but is fighting Khan, LIAM SMITH and possibly fighting Chavez jr and BJS and everyone loves him or makes excuses.

Not enough to get off PPV even to lack luster opponents. The Canelo train still running despite the so call hate. Somebody must still love him

He beat Lara and trout, both of whom are very tricky and clever boxers. His performance against Floyd was pathetic. He had zero intent on competing and simply went through the motions to cash a check. I lost all respect for him at that point. Wouldn't surprise me if there was a backdoor deal involved.

I thought he lost to both Trout and Lara. Why is so far fetched that Floyd dominated him.

Ive been saying all along that Canelo threw the fight with Floyd it was too pitiful of a performance from a top elite fighter in Canelo that fight was
fixed.

Canelo didn't throw the Floyd fight... and he didn't throw punches either... He allowed Floyd to dictate the terms of the fight and 1 of them is Canelo had to weigh-in at 152... He looked about as weak as any boxer I've ever see at a weigh-in..

No wonder all he did was stand there and look at Floyd while Floyd ran the numbers on him.. About the only threatening punch Canelo landed was a hard punch to Floyd's left thigh -- about 2 feet below Floyd's belt-line.. It was deliberate---so I guess Canelo was anxious to land 1 solid punch.

But he's not fighting GGG, so why not one of those guys instead of JC Jr or another Khan/Smith.

Too many boxing fans are getting caught in big events instead of consistent great fights.

Whats far fetched is that canelo didn't even try. Floyd didn't dominate anyone. He just did enough to win as he did almost all his fights. But considering canelo did nothing, anything Floyd did seemed like a lot.

Floyd never dominated anyone in his whole career? You sure that's accurate comment. I don't see a lot of close fights on Floyd resume.

They drug their feet big time to get GB to make the Trout and Lara fights. Any good boxer with lateral movement gives Canelo fits. All the crying about Ward not rematching Kovalev kind of make me laugh since Canelo didn't want the rematch of two fights that he arguably lost. There was no need to rematch Lara because he was boring, and Trout because the scores were so wide. To me I didn't even like the Cotto fight because he was clearly past it, as he showed getting dominated by Trout.

GB will continue to match Canelo with the lowest risk/highest reward fights. I am one of the few that think he has a real chance vs GGG due to GGG's age and the style match-up.....so the fight will happen, in September of 2017. :TU:

See I thought he lost Lara. I was even surprised how lopsided the Cotto score cards were....He is protected big time.

I see early 2018. If all goes planned he would have faced Khan, Liam Smith, Chavez Jr, BJS & he suppose to be the #1 guy in the sport and he lost 12-0 to past prime Floyd come on. I don't blame him but his team for trying to pull this.

Chavez Jr and GGG should just fight each other at 168 making Canelo a double duck.
