Lord..acting like AJ murdered his boy.
This dude stay crying, ol' emotional wreck ass...
Don't forget Dominic Wade.I look at the level of competition heading into a fight. When I look at Canelo's last few fights, they all consist of "money moves." Amir Khan, Liam Neeson, and Chavez Jr aren't going to exactly prepare you for a guy like GGG. What happened to the days where the type of matchmaking was put together to prepare you for a big fight? We really have no idea what Canelo has to offer at 160. We just know that he's very talented.
GGG's last couple of opponents were Brook and Jacobs. Against Brooks, he got to experience fighting a guy with WW handspeed, the type of handspeed he's not accustomed to seeing at MW. He also had the opportunity to fight Jacobs, which means he had the recent experience of grinding out a close fight against a guy that could potentially be a tougher fight stylistically than Canelo.
I'm going to edge GGG. I just don't like Canelo's resume at all. Mayweather JR and Lara are the only two fighters on his resume I felt had a legit chance of beating him.
You could argue the same for GGG, but at least he started collecting belts one by one, which indicates he's trying to make the best of what he could with 160.
I'm looking forward to this fight. Gives me sort of a Cotto/Margarito feel for some reason.
I'ma Ward stan but this is a stupid move on his part

I'ma Ward stan but this is a stupid move on his part
is Ward doing?
This is all that really matters. The first fight was controversial. I think it was the right decision for Ward to get the win but it seems like he likes to be difficult for the sake of being difficult. I'll wait for the full explanation though.Id like to see it but does it really make a difference, they ain't gonna sell that many more PPVs from the face off shyt. They already doing a 24/7
De La Hoya: Unlike May-Pac, Canelo-Golovkin Will Deliver!
By Keith Idec
LAS VEGAS – Those still bothered by Mayweather-Pacquiao shouldn’t worry about wasting their money again.
That was one of Oscar De La Hoya’s promotional messages early Sunday morning. “The Golden Boy” can’t see Canelo Alvarez-Gennady Golovkin, the biggest boxing pay-per-view event since Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao disappointed fans worldwide in May 2015, at all resembling that incomparably hyped dud.
The combination of Golovkin’s seek-and-destroy style and Alvarez’s aggression should help make Alvarez-Golovkin an extremely entertaining battle. That’s exactly what boxing needs from Alvarez-Golovkin as the sport attempts to overcome the damage done by Mayweather-Pacquiao among mainstream consumers.

“This is the most anticipated fight right next to Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather,” De La Hoya said during a press conference at T-Mobile Arena. “But the difference is, this fight is gonna have a lot action, non-stop action. And therefore, we’re calling this fight ‘Bombs Away.’ ”
Alvarez also expects an all-action fight against Golovkin, who has knocked out 89 percent of his opponents, including 23 of the past 24. The Mexican superstar was disappointed that his showdown with countryman Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. didn’t deliver the type of sustained entertainment many anticipated Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena.
Their HBO Pay-Per-View main event devolved into a one-sided beating because Chavez couldn’t compete with the faster, sharper, stronger Alvarez (49-1-1, 34 KOs) during their 12-round fight. A sluggish Chavez made his lowest weight in nearly five years Friday (164 pounds) and admitted he didn’t have the energy to let his hands go.
Alvarez acknowledged after their forgettable fight that he was disappointed because Chavez (50-3-1, 32 KOs, 1 NC) wouldn’t engage with him to give proud, demanding Mexican fans the terrific fight they deserved. The 26-year-old Alvarez doesn’t expect that to be an issue when he and the 35-year-old Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs) finally fight for Golovkin’s IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight titles September 16 at a site to be determined.
“Look, I expect a fight that’s gonna be explosive and powerful,” Alvarez said. “The styles are there. They should mesh together. On my part, that’s what you’re gonna see.”

with the way HBO has treated him, I don't blame him. especially with how HBO made it seem like he was ducking kovalev from the get go. then after the decision, they zoom in on him and make it seem like he was shocked that he won. ward has done commentary with HBO and worked alongside these guys many of times, and i'm 100% positive they probably kiss his ass when he's in their presence. why would any self respecting man give a fukk about these two faced clowns?.....ward don't gotta do shyt but show up to fight. he already fought kovalev and won and HBO refused to give him any credit for it. like he said saturday night. HBO billed the fight as "pound for pound", then they went back on their word. you think if kov won the controversial decision, HBO would be acting in the same manner?I'ma Ward stan but this is a stupid move on his part
