Trying To Count Canelo’s Excuses To Duck Golovkin

By Scoop Malinowski

WBC 160-pound champion Canelo Alvarez and his team of protectors have used a long list of excuses and step aside payments to duck and dodge a fight with mandatory challenger Gennady Golovkin.    Here is an unofficial list of all the excuses used by Canelo and his team . . .

 

 

* Saul has the style to disappoint GGG and his fans when they fight — and they will

 

 

* Fight needs to marinate longer

 

 

* Golovkin has to fight us at 155 catchweight

 

 

* Golovkin has to work his way up and earn his shot

 

 

* Oscar: We’re going to call Golovkin’s people after this fight and try to work it out

 

 

* We’re going to fight Cotto first then we will face Golovkin next

 

 

* Golden Boy VP: Golovkin didn’t want to fight Lara and we beat Lara

 

 

* Oscar: We won’t over marinate GGG vs Canelo – it will happen

 

 

* Oscar: This fight needs the right build up and it will happen at the right time

 

 

* Hopkins:  Golovkin should go up to 175 and challenge Kovalev

 

 

* Oscar: I can say Lets go lets do it or let me talk to Canelo and discuss how he’s feeling

 

 

* If the fight happens now Canelo gets a 90-10 split

 

 

* Oscar: It all depends on how he feels after the Cotto fight   – it’s all up to him

 

 

* While I’m at 155 I’m not facing anyone at 160

 

* If Canelo fought GGG’s opponents he’d be unbeaten too

 

* Golovkin refused to go up to face Ward

 

 

* GGG’s in my future plans but I’m not sure when though

 

* I want to fight GGG for the fans – I’m just not sure when
