Why do Canelo fans defend canelo weight?

"Hes not ready for middleweight though" ^^^^lol

If he can't get down to 154, why torture his body to get down to 152, 155, 155, 155, 155, and 155 for the last three years? The criticism doesn't make any sense. When it became clear that getting down to 140lbs was bad for Danny Garcia, he and his camp made sure to give him 3 pounds to make things easier. Canelo only giving himself a single pound, from a weight that he "can't even get to", is a stupid way to do business. Because he can actually make 155, i think he struggles to do it though but as long as he can do it then he will because he can play the "i'm not a middleweight" card to avoid Golovkin, even though he walks around heavier than GGG. And before anybody says "if GGG is smaller, fighting at 155 shouldn't be a problem" - i would agree in some cases, but it will be for the MIDDLEWEIGHT title and should be defended properly.

Canelo only giving himself a single pound, from a weight that he "can't even get to", is a stupid way to do business. Obviously cause he's looking for an excuse to avoid his mando. Ffs he asked for 156 vs midget Cotto. Must have grown smaller since

NO LONGER? he can't even get to 154 now, hence him not fighting there. He's a Middleweight If he can't get down to 154, why torture his body to get down to 152, 155, 155, 155, 155, and 155 for the last three years? The criticism doesn't make any sense.

They also insist hes not a real middlweight(lol). Canelo walking around looking like a SMW yet hes not ready for 160. So he wants to hold the MW belt and be called MW champ but doesnt want to fight real MW's?. Then when his mando wants to fight him he says "only 155 doe" lol. Seems like canelo ****ting his pants lately. Ive even debated with some canelo fans on here that tried to say 155 is middlweight and isnt a catchweight. wtf!? Because Canelo has never weight-drained (bringing a bigger fighter down out of his established fighting weight) any of his opponents like the way Floyd drained him at 152 or how Manny drained Margarito at 150 and Cotto at 145 etc. He fought jr. middleweights a pound above the jr. middleweight/super welterweight limit so no fighter had an advantage over the other/they were all fair and even fights. And of course he's not a middleweight, what are you talking about? He hasn't fought at 160 or any real middleweights at the mw limit before. That belt was fought at a 155 lb cw between two super welterweights, Cotto and Canelo. It was the fight that everyone wanted to see at the time, the paper belt was 2nd fiddle.

they accepted his terms because it actually help them. that's a poor excuse not to use a 155 lb CW. They want that pay check, thats why they accepting his terms, and since they make weight easier than Canelo, it actually helps Alvarez.

Fun to have many divisions in boxing. This is a Canelo division you're talking about. Just like there was a Mayweather division when he fought him. Fans need to make adjustments.

But its Canelo who fights at 155. Cotto, Lara, Kirkland could make 154, why Canelo always wants 155? Maybe cuz its too difficult for him to make JMW limit? "I am not a middleweight" LOL, ****ing *****... they accepted his terms because it actually help them. that's a poor excuse not to use a 155 lb CW.

Wow really? So GGG being the mandatory for both Cotto and Can't-Nelo and both avoiding him like the plague has nothing to do with earning it? GGG earned the mandatory spot by sparking everyone in front of him What proof do you have that Canelo is avoiding him? if I recall correctly, Canelo said he the fight will happen. Canelo hasn't said or done anything for me or anyone not to believe him.

Alvarez was also demanding a 156 lb catchweight of Cotto. Cotto forced it at 155. Really? LOL, you just cant defend this ****. Some people say "its just 1 lbs", but in Canelo's case, every ****ing ounce counts... I know what he fears, at mw his power will be non-existent and he will have to throw more punches to hurt his opponents, which is very difficult task for him.

Answer me this, of all the fighter Canelo fought at 155, who was at disadvantage? To me, it actually help them because they were all BIG JMW. But its Canelo who fights at 155.

It's not a question of defending it. It's a matter of understanding why he's doing it. He just wants an edge going into one of the toughest fights of his career. What am I going to do about it? Boycott Canelo and take $70 out of his pocket? Lol @ wanting an "edge". Asking for 155 is obviously hoping the fight doesn't happen. If he wanted to fight and just wanted to shrink Golovkin a bit to balance the size "difference" he'd be asking for around 158. 155 is basically saying either you show up weak or no fight. Not "lets even up the size differential a bit because I do want this fight" like Mayweather did with Alvarez, Like Pacquiao did with Cotto. Even Cotto fought Martinez at 159.

I don't defend it, but I understand that he earned the right to dictate his fights. He made the necessary sacrifices to be where he is at now. No different from Oscar, Floyd or Manny. I also like GGG, but I understand that he won't make the necessary sacrifices to become a superstar. Everything he has (titles) were basically handed to him. Wow really? So GGG being the mandatory for both Cotto and Can't-Nelo and both avoiding him like the plague has nothing to do with earning it? GGG earned the mandatory spot by sparking everyone in front of him

I honestly believe if GGG never existed, Canelo would be fighting at 160 now. Ding ding ding we have a winner folks. Canelo looked like death warmed over making 152 which means we lost upwards of 7% of his body-weight. His natural weight is probably around 163-165.

Boycott Canelo and take $70 out of his pocket? LOL. As is Canelo's right as a prizefighter, he can certainly bargain for any advantage that's on the negotiation table. for this mandatory fight, the weight isn't on the table if you let Team GGG tell it. Canelo can certainly vacate the WBC belt, let GGG pick it up, then pay for GGG to come in at the canelo-weight.

Oscar, Floyd and Manny forced catch weights here and there, while Alvarez is forcing everybody to fight at 155 since TWO ****ING YEARS. They also won many belts over many divisions without CWs. Not so with Canelo, he won another at a CW he didn't even honor. Those guys never demanded CWs from mando's, never demanded lowest CW possible, and were much smaller than the opponent unlike this scared fraud that outweighs the challenger fight night. No contest, Canelos demand most disgraceful of all time, by a lot
