Canelo: Golovkin Making Excuses; He Sounds Scared to Fight Me!

“To be honest, what Golovkin or his team say doesn’t bother me at all,” Alvarez said through a translator during a press conference in Los Angeles. “Because No. 1, they’re not doctors, they’re not the experts. I don’t pay attention to them. It sounds more to me like an excuse of not wanting to fight me, like he’s scared, to be honest.”

Alvarez didn’t elaborate about why Golovkin would not want to partake in a lucrative pay-per-view rematch that would’ve paid him eight figures. Alvarez also didn’t explain why Golovkin would be “scared” to fight him, when they’ve already gone at it for 12 rounds and Alvarez didn’t appear to hurt Golovkin during a fight that resulted in a controversial draw September 16 at T-Mobile Arena.

Nonetheless, Alvarez made it clear that Golovkin is the only opponent he wants to fight once the Nevada State Athletic Commission clears him to return from his suspension.

Alvarez, 27, couldn’t specifically discuss when he wants to fight Golovkin because his hearing hasn’t taken place.

“Absolutely, that is the fight that I want,” Alvarez said. “That is the fight that I wanna give the fans. That is the fight. And as soon as we get the green light, that is the fight that I’ll go for.”

Why talk tough when you're the one who pulled out before the hearing?

Lol, it's a strange world Canelo lives in. He runs the 1st fight, caught cheating then withdraws from the rematch, then calls Golovkin scared. He is starting to sound like Costanza law, that's not good.

Canelo needs ALL possible advantages: judges, PEDs, stacked hand wraps, big beard, etc. to compete with GGG. With using PEDs becoming problematic, he can't win.

1. Canelo pulls out of the fight voluntarily, weeks prior to an official decision on the doping issue.
2. Canelo blames Golovkin for being scared.

Logic is solid here. :brick:

So then everybody knock off all the crap and forget all the phony drug tests and phony drug testers and just fight!

I had a big issue with Canelo for a while when he was ducking GGG. I got over it, and respected him again in spite of the poor judging in the 1st bout for simply having the cojones to take on GGG twice in a row.

Now...he's right back to square one. A boxer that looks cowardly making a fool out of himself.
