Then it's pretty damn evident he's doing it just to avoid the GGG fight. The guy hasn't fought there in 3 years and all of a sudden after he drops the title and hides from GGG there's talk of going back down to a real weight class not associated with MW....
Not surprising one bit though, now people will say, "see, he's not a middleweight" as he looks like a zombie at the weigh ins then rehydrates to weights bigger than most middleweights come in at lol..
good luck with that huge name Liam Smith in September hahaaaaaa...
he was happy to pay the fees for the 160 paper trinket and was happy to pay step aside fees to ggg when it suited him. why are you believing his garbage talking points? he just wanted advantages in teh fight. if he could have those advantages and fight for the belt he would have but he couldn't have both.
when did canelo paid GGG a dime???
When Canelo fights Liam Smith at 154lbs, and has absolutlely no issues with making the weight and fights well in the ring, I hope you shut up and move on with your life.
After Floyd beat him, Floyd had two belts at the weight and the other two titles weren't of interest to him; rather than pay some sanctioning body a fee for a paper trinket, he stood on his starpower and continued to fight junior middleweights at 155.
not rocket science

why do people not talk about canelo not revealing his fight night weight??? isnt that the most telling indication that hes dodging triple G. He knows he comes in heavier than triple G so he busted a mayweather and hid his official weight for his last fight with Khan. Disgusting...
Do you even read what you write? His last 4 fights were above 154 spanning about 3 years lol....if he was such a 154 lb fighter why not fight there? Now he needs to save face and prove he's not a middleweight all of a sudden so he will go make that weight at all costs... It's ok, I know you hate GGG and can't see the truth in front of your face but it's comical watching you trip all over yourself.

he made 155 :lol1:
and yes, we shoud "hate on him" for it. it's pathetic, and the reason why boxing isn't really a sport.
I've felt this way at times in the past but was too sad to say it out loud.
It sucks. Big time. All the diva demands, years spent making fights, ABC organizations screwing each other over and just looking for a check.. bleh. You're right. It's not really a sport anymore.
GGG isn't big enough name for him you can only wonder who he will fight next maybe people will pay to see him box himself.
He won't make 154lbs If he does he will be damaging himself I also think Andrade would beat him comfortably.
"GGG isn't a big enough name."
it's the biggest fight in boxing :lol1:
not a big enough name doe!
and yeah, andrade would probably beat canelo at 154. lara, too. i think he beats both at 160. he's not a bad fighter, he just kills himself to make 155 so he doesn't have to fight a great fighter in gennady golovkin. another 16 oz of water and he's going to need a chair at the weigh in again
So, we should hate on him because he's able to make a certain weight class?? If so, why don't we just bash everyone who walks around heavier than fight weight?
he made 155 :lol1:

Stephen Edwards has a theory that b/c of his short stature and mediocre footwork, that Canelo has steered clear of the talented fighters like Andrade & Jermell Charlo who are long and tall.
If Andrade beats Nelson & Charlo, I can't see why Andrade/Alvarez wouldn't become a top priority fight to make. Could Alvarez land enough on Andrade to get the win?
I think J-Rock beats Jermall, and J-Rock/Alvarez would be a hell of a fight, but that J-Rock might be willing to stand in front of Alvarez a little too much and maybe gets broken down late.

It's so hypocritical. People **** on GGG for not moving up above his natural weight class and defend Canelo for fighting below his natural weight class.
Canelo will be bashed as being a ***** but at least he will be fighting in a real weight division and as long as we get Canelo v Charlos/Andrade, I'm up for it.
So, we should hate on him because he's able to make a certain weight class?? If so, why don't we just bash everyone who walks around heavier than fight weight?
Yes we should hate on him for being afraid to fight guys his own size.
Saul Alvarez said he wasn't a middleweight, his trainer has said that he's not a middleweight, he's had his last 4 fights at 155, yet the moment that he fight in the division where he and his camp have consistently said was his division, you want to talk of avoiding someone? gtfoh.
Gennady Golovkin has stood by, smiling, while Abel Sanchez ran his mouth about whooping every fighter 154-168, yet he's managed to not only avoid tough fighters at both 154 and 168, without any blowback. lol
Rather than fight Alvarez at 155, Golovkin is going to miss out on that fight, will likely miss out on fighting Billy Joe Saunders, and will hope against hope that Daniel Jacobs gets locked into an opponent for July 30th, so that they can trot out Jorge Sebastian Heiland and having the boxing media continue to push their "no one wants to fight Golovkin" bull****.

Yeah he's made it pretty evident that he can make that weight class by fighting above it for the last 3 years...
Does NOT matter. Creating his own weight class is already evidence that he didn't want the GGG fight. At least now he isn't forcing someone to fight him at neloweight. And he has dropped the belt, everyone moves on.
Right unlike his Wbc belt it's not a straight forfeit. But that's the first time that Ggg will be on top of all the Mw rankings lol
Well GGG would have to start a new lineage by beating Saunders and Jacobs according to TBRB
well if he moves down then the lineal goes vacant
