Canelo weighs as much or more than GGG. You could say he doesn't really belong at LMW since he doesn't make the weight anymore.
Pac man was rehydrating to the high 140s at 130 pounds, but he still wasn't a welterweight yet. Big difference between water weight and weight more made up of muscle. Canelo should be fighting at a honest 154, but I'm sure he can still make it being only a half pound over tonight.
Wow, great win by Canelo, no excuses like some other fans. He did the best thing possible and got him out early. Clearly the top 154 pounder but he should eat better to stay at 154ish though, I don't he'd have much to offer at 160.
Your pretty much right. However tall he is, he knows he'd be much smaller against real 160 pounders. It would more or less be the end of his career probably, so I don't really hold his ducking against GGG against him. But if he is not going to fight 160 pounders, he at least needs to fight legit top 10 154 pounders at 155. And if he does that, he's alright with me.
IF it does happen... I'd hope McGregor would smart enough to ask for MMA gloves, and maybe kickboxing rules. If not, it would just be a shameless, no hope money grab that I hope will tank.
No. If you can actually discard the agendas and biases that most people have, one can clearly see that Canelo's size is more in line with average 154 pounders than 160 pounders. Even throwing GGG aside, how many top 10 middleweights would Canelo even beat? Not many IMO, and even then just barely. But that's just being truthful.
When Canelo can't fight 154 pounders at 155 anymore... his career will be over. Oscars knows. Everyone with a brain knows it too. He won't hack it at 160 against 160 pounders, he's too small and weak for that. And that's not even including GGG, who'd beat him bad. But eh.
No fool.
His height is short for 160.
But he's heavy built for 154.
Look at cotto vs. Canelo. Canelo was way bulkier.
Cotto is about 154 built right now.
Your a fool if you think Cotto is an average 154 pounder. Compare Canelo to the Charlo brothers. Or Angulo. Or Lara. Or Martirosyan. Or Trout. Or Kirkland. He's about their size. This idea that just because you rehydrate to 170 you are a middleweight is ridiculous. Because those other guys do it too. Clottey was rumored to had jumped to 170 against Judah, but that still wouldn't of made him "As big" as GGG or other real middleweights.
Can an aging, shot-to-pieces Alpha male boxer kick an in-his-prime beta male boxer's ass? or no?
What are some examples if true?
:haha: what a quality thread. Such quality belongs more in a PUA thread than a boxing forum.
He tried staying at WW for a reason. Couldn't hang with true good JMWs. He gets countered all night, potentially stopped late. And does he have his special wraps BTW? The one that his wife made that he just can't fight without? Do keep in mind this is the same guy who would of lost to Clottey prior to Clottey more or less throwing the fight out of nowhere in the 6th.
Bradley is #2 behind Brook. Then comes Thurman. Pac isn't in the picture.
I think Pac is still good enough to be in the picture. I've got Pac, Thurman, Brook, Spence, Bradley, then Garcia, but until Pac and Bradley start fighting non TR guys it will be hard to tell.
Garcia has a unification fight with thurman coming up.
Dfuq is Khan doing. He still doesn't want Kell.
That's what I'm thinking. Take the fight you can make now. Kell's at his most vulnerable too.
I'll actually pick him. Decent power, very relaxed, puts punches together with good upper body movement defensively, and he doesn't seem small at the weight either.
and this is why we give DSG shit, others fight rod salka's all the time but no one expects ricky burns to be a good champion.
Everyone has bad names here and there, but DSG has had a decent career up to beating Robert. It's just that he's wasted his entire 2016 since then.
Another impossible fantasy fight. No one knows how a mid 30's GGG would be like dropping an entire weight class. Floyd's too big too safely drop to 140 (See the Marquez fight), so maybe GGG is too big to drop down to 154 safely too.

For real. That Adrikitty guy was really triggered tonight.
