Wtf you get outta that article besides him clearly admitting he wants the fight. He dropped the title so his balls and prep won't be in a vise. Am I missing something.

I guess we'll really find out if he agrees to a fight.

Yes. He's been holding the WBC 160lb title hostage and the WBC basically MADE him negotiate a fight with Golovkin and he dropped the belt so he doesn't have to do so. Now he's gonna continue fighting bums at 155 (a weight class he made up since he's too chicken shite to fight in any of the 18 official weight classes).

Don't listen to that garbage about Canelo wanting to fight GGG and will continue negotiating the fight. I'll translate that for you: "I'm scared to fight Golovkin so I'm dropping the belt to avoid doing so, but then later on when Golovkin can't make the 160lb limit anymore and he's old and fighting at 168, I'll agree to fight him at 160".


Tell you what, if he calls out nearly 40 year old 147lb Manny Pacquiao for a fight at 155 I'm gonna laugh my arse off. But that would be a typical Canelo move. shite, he just called up dude with a glass jaw who never even proved anything at welterweight to fight him at 155 for the MIDDLEWEIGHT title. Damn Canelo is a fraud.

Yeah I agree with this. He doesn't appear to be dodging the fight, just that he want's it to happen organically instead of a bunch of suits dictating to him and GGG when the fight has to happen by.
