I understand all the A side politics Canelo is using to his advantage & while I sorta hate that boxing is such a circus that those types of things go on I understand that is how boxing works so it is what it is. The question I have is can GGG even make 155lbs despite the previous claim about being willing to fight anyone from 154-168. I understand people wanna be all "in you face" when people in boxing or in life say things they can't back up, but outside of the much discussed claim do you legit think GGG can make 155lbs?
The facts:
GGG turned pro in 2006 at the age of 24.
His lowest weight as a pro was 158.5 in 2011 @ 29yrs
He is currently 34yrs
From 2003-2005 (21yrs-23yrs) he fought as an amateur in the 165lb division
The last time he likely fought at 155lbs was in 2002 (20yrs) when he fought amateur in the 156lb division
So its a reasonable assumption based on this info GGG hasn't been at or under 155 for 14yrs as a 20 year old.
