If an Alvarez-Golovkin fight is made, De La Hoya and Alvarez promised that weight would not be an issue. Although he is the middleweight champion, Alvarez has had his recent fights contracted at 155 pounds, one above the junior middleweight limit. Golovkin, 34, wants the fight -- and all of his fights -- at the middleweight limit of 160 pounds.

"There's not going to be any issues. No weight issues," Alvarez said. "We'll go with an offer and see if the fight can get made. I have a team, obviously, but for me there's no issue. I'll fight him at 160. Now, we'll sit down as a team and discuss it."

Canelo doesn't care about the belt. He will not fight lil g unless it's at 155. So with that being understood, what do you want?

  1. Canelo vs lil g to fight?
  2. lil g to become WBC Champion

It's number one for sho.

This is the same thing Africans was getting on Manny about back in the day. Calling him the Catchweight Champion of the World. But ginger is doing it and it's all, "He's the man. They gotta follow suit".

It's for unification. Why not just fight at 160? Especially if that shyt in the fight thread was true about him damn near drying out.


See here you go. I didn't bring up anything about #MessicanZero tweeting like woman while licking the burrito stain off his shirt the other day. :heh:


:pacspit:


Call him a zero

Meanwhile he's the only Mexican trying to fight GGG for 2 years now :aicmon:


N its not for the $$$ #chavezcoalition been paid :smugjccjr:

Canelo Alvarez: There's no weight issue, I'll fight Golovkin at 160

On the comments about Golovkin after the fight


"I'm not in this sport because I'm afraid. People talk. They say this, that, that I'm afraid. I'm not afraid of anybody. I'm willing to fight any time."


On Abel Sanchez saying he doesn't have the balls to fight GGG

"He can come and touch them if he wants. He'll surprise himself."

On there being Mexican fans doubting Canelo

"I don't worry about that. I think that critics are always going to be critics, they're going to criticize me no matter what. All I worry about is winning fights. That's all I have to do."

On the KO of Amir Khan

"I feel great. It's an honor for me, I'm very happy. I never train for a knockout. I just do my job. I never look for it, but it happened. You never want to hurt anybody, but if we can win by knockout -- I feel honored. I want to continue to make history in boxing."


On inviting GGG into the ring and whether or not they spoke

"No. I invited him because I'm not afraid. I want to prove to him I'm not. Come up, no problem. We didn't have any words. But if we fight, we're gonna fight not because it's mandated. I don't care. We can fight for no belts. If we fight, we're gonna fight for honor and pride."

On if he will fight Golovkin in the fall as per the WBC agreement

"We talked about it a little before this fight. We talked about it at our house. I'm willing to make him an offer. I'd be happy not just to fight him but to beat him."

On Khan being difficult early

"He was a little difficult at first, but I knew I just had to keep my game plan. I knew I had to keep feinting. Feinting is what opened up that punch. It came and I knocked him out."

On tonight's performance boosting his confidence against Golovkin

"Every fight gives me experience. It's not particularly this victory, but every fight. I'm 25 years old, I'm so lucky with the experience I have and the fights I've had. I've worked hard. As far as GGG, if the fight happens, I'll be happy to do the fight. That's no problem."

On his concern after knocking out Khan

"We wanna win by knockout, but we never wanna hurt anybody. It's a sport, you don't want to hurt anybody. It was just my human reaction. I wanted to make sure he was OK."

On potentially at Estadio Azteca

"Yes, in fact, we've talked about it. I've talked with my team, with Golden Boy. I'd like to fight in Mexico sometime this year, possibly toward the end of the year."

On a weight issue against Golovkin

"There's not going to be any issue. No weight issues. I've talked with my team, we're going to give him an offer."

On whether that means he'll fight GGG at 160

"For me, there's no issue. I have a team, we're going to get together with my team. But I'll fight him at 160. There's no issue. We've talked about it at my house, but now we're going to sit down with my team and discuss it."

What did Khan get?

Off of the base purse, he received a 64/36 split....but he also agreed to fight at 155 which Canelo probably tossed him a few extra stacks for doing so.


lil g isn't, so they might end up going to purse bid where he will get 10-20% due to purse bids always go 80/20, 90/10 in favor of the Champion:manny:
