This dude was supposed to be "born ready", he isnt acting like it. He is the "middleweight" champion and hasnt even fought at middleweight a single time. His first title defense is against a 147 pounder lol. If he wants to fight 147 pounders to to 147 canelo or pick a real middlweight instead of trying to bully khan.
On top of that, this dude has the nerve to demand 155 against GGG for no reason. LOL WTF? Your the middleweight champ, fight him at middleweight instead of trying to pull your dumbass 155 **** again nobody wants to hear that. I thought he was "ready" after he beat cotto and flexed at the press conference, doesnt really seem like it. Cut the **** canelo.
The belt he has is pretty much illegitimate until he defends it at middleweight. Its pretty much just a fake belt right now, once he defends his belt at 160 against GGG or a real middleweight the criticism will stop. But as of now, he has no business being called the 160 champ, because he isnt. GGG is
That's your opinion, and I disagree. Alvarez beat the man who beat the man. Until the WBC does something, Alvarez's claim to being middleweight champ is arguably stronger than Canelo's claim, for the simple fact that he actually beat a champion to get his belt, rather than simply having belts handed to him.
Because, even with the fight being at 155, Alvarez beating Cotto tops anything that Golovkin has ever done as a professional fighter.
Canelo will fight Golovkin in September (unless Khan somehow wins)
Oscar don't want the fight because he's his only big star left and he has a big chance of losing but Canelo is known for going against Oscar's advice to take risks.
The 155 stuff is just to get more money, isn't that what Golovkin's team did to Ward with 164?
If they are fighting for the MW belt, I support Canelo's right to weigh 155 at the weigh-in, if he wants. And he can weigh what he always does on fight day, above 170.
Both fighters, at the weigh-in, should weigh within the MW limit.
It is incorrect that Canelo can ask Golvokin to weigh 155 at the weigh-in for the middleweight belt. Therefore Canelo will be required to hand over his MW to Gennady Golovkin. "Here. This belongs to you. Not to me. I am a soft girl. I like to be bent over and entered."
I knew Canelo was not a man by the way he fought Floyd Mayweather.
Why give up the trinket when the WBC isn't pushing him to give up the trinket? Alvarez isn't going to simply disrespect the WBC and dump their belt; he's also not going to let them push him to do something that he and his camp don't want to do yet.
When the WBC makes their push (note how the WBC has endorsed Canelo's catchweights), Alvarez will make his move; if that means handing the green belt to Sulaiman, so be it.
Golovkin gets handed another belt and then the WBA puts Golovkin over a barrell.

Only problem I have with what you said is what's the point at staying at 155? He probably can't make 154 anymore so he's stuck at 155. What happens when he can't make 155 he's gonna stay at 156 for awhile? Then he can't make 156 anymore what then? I just don't understand the 155 thing. If you can't make 154 just go up to 160. It's not hard when he walks around 170+
Because, after the Floyd defeat, Alvarez was a junior middleweight without a 154 title to go after (Floyd had the WBA/WBC belts, Lara had the secondary WBA belt, Bundrage was a terrible fight, and the WBO title was in a special kind of hell). With Canelo already starting to emerge as a star, he was a junior middleweight who was bigger than the 154 titles that were available.
The moment Canelo can no longer make junior middleweight (doesn't seem to struggle too badly getting down to 155, so 154 isn't impossible), Alvarez and his camp go up to 160; why only give your body back a single pound when the pressures of the weight cut have already come down?
The WBA, WBC, and IBF 154 belts are all outside of Alvarez's reach at the moment; WBO champion Liam Smith is sitting right there, ready to fight if Alvarez gets pushed off of 155 with the WBC belt.
If hes not a middleweight fighter yet. He has no business holding the belt and being listed as the middleweight champion. If he wants to make 155 comfortably he can go down to JMW where he can do that. If not he should vacate or fight GGG who is the interim champion. Plain and simple. He can man up and fight GGG at 160 , or he can go to down to JMW.

So far Canelo has fought everyone that people said he would duck, Lara..Trout etc so i would ease off him a bit, yes his Team are trying to force that fight for later on and thats why all this politics is now in play regarding weight.....I would never support a fighter who has a mandatory and his trying to defend that belt at a catchweight.

Completey agree, Canelo is a disgrace to the sport and the 160 division as was Cotto.
Cotto was doing the same ****
A-side stuff doe
at least Canelo is willing to fight GGG even if it's at 155, which should be doable, or didn't GGG challenge Floyd at 154
Cotto never had the slightest intention of fighting GGG.
Right, and Cotto is SMALLER than both GGG and Canelo.
All this BS about Canelo wanting GGG...
Canelo wants NOTHING to do with GGG. So much that he has convinced himself he is the 155lb champ. Deal with it.
Khan, Cotto, Kirkland, Lara, Angulo, Mayweather Jr, Trout...yeah dude Canelo totally needs to cut the BS and fight some real fighters such as Domican Wade and so on, totally
Harp all you want; Canelo and his camp have already made it painfully clear that they Alvarez isn't a middleweight fighter yet. Alvarez didn't spend nearly two years chasing the Cotto fight because of the green belt. Canelo's camp isn't going to disrespect the WBC, but they're not going to let the WBC derail their plan.
When Canelo is ready to fight at middleweight, he'll fight at middleweight (have no doubt in my mind that he's likely able to comfortably make 155 for another 16-18 months).
If you want to see Alvarez fight at 160, wait until late 2017.
Only problem I have with what you said is what's the point at staying at 155? He probably can't make 154 anymore so he's stuck at 155.

Okay Judge Judy, name all the officially scheduled fights of the best fighting the best. I'll wait. Start with the top 10 P4P fighters. Let's hear the best fighting the best, no ifs ands or buts. Let me the list, let's have it.
What i meant was that "the best fighting the best" should be the policy in boxing and not what we currently have which is boxers fighting bums for big bucks. Whats even worse is that Canelo is the face of boxing and he can fight any boxer not affiliated to Haymon and he still chooses an opponent two divisions below his.
If you want to defend Canelo be my guess but is the mentality of trolls like you that allow Canelo to get away with fighting Khan instead of fighting GGG.

The best fight the best no ifs and buts. It's the reality of every other sport but boxing. As the face of boxing Canelo fighting Khan for the middleweight championship when Golovkin is available is a case of ducking to the maximum exponent. It's almost as bad as Danny vs Salka, if you can't see that you fall in the category of a fanboy who can't call it like it is.
