Klitschko, Fury, Parker, Takam & Joshua

I think he fights Khan pretty soon, hopefully after that he can stop fighting lighter men and get it on!

<p><b>7:</b> Las Vegas, USA, Amir Khan v Saul Alvarez (WBC middleweight)</p>

<p>There is talk  Canelo and Pacman could fight at junior middleweight , </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Be a massive payday for Canelo compared to a possible  triple G fight and could have something to do with stalls in negotiations for that one , </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Weight is the major stalling point in that match up  , Canelos camp  wants a catch weight , Triple g s camp are saying fight us at true middleweight and they cant come to an agreement. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>But with little happening for G , there are bigger  fights for him  if he moves up to super middleweight to fight the likes of Andre Ward etc. but they are showing little interest in that option , but may be forced to at some stage , if he wants to chase the money. </p>

<p>This catch weight stuff is bullshit. Canelo has made a niche division for himself.</p>

He's not the first , it's been happening for years , I don't mind so much if you have two fighters from different divisions meeting in the middle to make a fight happen and evening up any advantages.<br><br>
But never for a title , if a belt is on the line , you should be made to fight under the proper weight of that title .<br><br>
Danny green held a cruiser weight title and used to make his challenges fight at s catch weight when defending it , was ridiculous .

<p>Catch weights, waaaay too many different belts, ranking systems that are made up on the fly.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Boxing sure does make it hard for the marginal fan to stay interested. </p>

<p>Canelo needs to decide if he is a middleweight or not , if not , let his title go , and go back down , </p>
<p> </p>
<p>He has been at least been given a timeline after his upcoming defense against Amir Khan ( also not a middleweight ) at a catch weight ,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The problem for triple G , he is a great middleweight , but he is in an era of no other genuine good middleweights , which is why he hasnt fought anyone yet, there is nothing out there for him </p>

MajorStokes

<p>I read this morning that he's bailing on Britain as they don't like him because he's a gypsy. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think it's more because of his many comments on sexism, pedo etc etc.</p>

raznomore

<p>Fury is padding his demise. He knows hes toast and he's preempting it all by saying he doesn't give a shit. He's made his money and he obviously eating. He's done.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Expect the come back fight when hes broke in a couple of years.  </p>

kiwiinmelb

<p>Im expecting Klitschko to be focused and determined in his   efficient way, </p>
<p> </p>
<p>And Fury, who bloody knows , to look like that 2 months out is not ideal , </p>
<p> </p>
<p>He took him by surprise in the last fight , frustrating him , but you would think Klitschko knows what to expect this time </p>

JK

<p>Yeah cant see Klitschko not winning this one.</p>

<p>It's not Movember Baron.....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Completely agree with what Raz said as is often the case, it would be nice of he was sensible with the $$$ and set himself up and still had enough to pop down to the local every sunday to regale everyone with tales of how he beat the champ ( by which stage at his height he could be about 150-160kg ). The flipside is you can picture every "Gypo" hanger on trying to get a slice of the pie.....one really hopes he is wiser than the other Tyson. You get the feeling under all the bullshit he is quite shrewd, but then he is a boxer and no other athletes in history can piss away hard earned cash like they can.</p>

kiwiinmelb

<p>I honestly think he is a bit smarter  than what he makes out , </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Acting the fool is all part of the act, </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not a great boxer, but still able to come up with a fight plan to achieve what no one else has for a long time </p>

<p>I laugh at you more than you are capable of realising.</p>

<p>A lot like how I laugh at the skater kids in the park opposite my offices hanging out trying incredibly hard to be cool, not realising the harder they try to look cool, the stupider they look.</p>

<p>They think they look like this</p>

<p>I think maybe Wlad underestimated him because of the fool persona. But that won't happen again.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fury is such a tool, I hope he gets humiliated.</p>

<p>the fight I'd like to see is Fury vs Trump</p>
<p> </p>
<p>a meeting of minds</p>
