    back then when canelo was fighting at 155 with no titles vs the likes of kirkland, angulo, lara the fight that people was asking for was the cotto fight, ggg wasnt that relevant, it wasnt after canelo beat cotto that the atention turned over ggg....
    only ggg fans thinking the boxing world revolved around ggg lmao...
    anytime after the cotto fight the preassure was for the ggg fight...

      If Golovkin faces either of them, they would meet at a catchweight of about 165 pounds."
      Such a joke this Borat. Hypocritical all the way to the end...his fans too

        And GGG needed 9 months off to recover and came back to a tuneup while Canelo was off collecting belts. Clear as day who landed the more significant punches and who won.

        CINNAMON and this thunder ****

        Pretty suspect picture you have there of Canelo man. Why would another man have that picture saved.

        Also, I like how you posted Teddy Atlas in that one picture. He scored GGG-Canelo 2, 8-3-1 for GGG. So thanks for pointing him out

          Canelo won the MIDDLEWEIGHT title at 155 and offered Borat a fight at 155.

          Dumb fucking clowns like yourself whined and clearly are still whining. I dont know why its difficult for you but Ca$hnelo styled on Borat
          I can't believe this is the counter-point Canelo fans are trying to make, lol

            Dude he literally camped out at 155 for how many fights? If he couldn't make 154, why not just do what everyone else would have done, and go up to the next weight class? lol

                I don't know how that's difficult for you.
                Middleweight is 155lbs to 160lbs. The poster you are replying to is saying GGG fans were claiming 155 is not MW. It is MW. It's the minimum weight at MW. 160lbs is the MW max. The limit.

                I do not agree with weight draining any fighter however. I think all fighters should be able to come in at the max weight allowed for a weight class they're campaigning in. I'm glad Canelo vs GGG happened at the 160 limit both times.

                  Then tell Bo**** ass to make Middleweight (155-160) or sit down. And in the rematch Ca$hnelo sat that BOY DOWN.
                  I feel like that one commercial where it's like 'that's now how it works, that's not how any of this works'

                    It's a bit easier to traverse the weights, when you can (cherry) pick your every opponent. He really got Kovalev and Smith at the right times, wouldn't you say....

                    He did some good work vs GGG in fight 2. He still got outworked and lost clearly though. Was a good fight.

People claimed that Canelo was unable to make 154 yet he made it and still looked strong vs L Smith.

                      Btw, team GGG used to hype him up by saying he'd eagerly fight from 154-168 but never backed it up while turning around and saying it was unfair to expect lil GGG to move up a single division, yet Canelo got the job done and more as 154-175 champ.
                      Man, imagine having to write all that just to defend your guy, lol
