So he wants to bring a cruiser down pretty close to Light Heavy, or is he talking about how much he will weigh?

He's not saying that. In fact what he's saying indicates that the fight will have a limit of 200lbs, which surprises me as the limit was changed to 190lbs.

If Canelo comes in at 180 that's okay. Marciano fought and held the heavyweight title weighing only about 185. There are no weight restrictions as to how little you can weigh.

He said he himself will weigh 180, why make things up?

[IronDanHamza]

That’s not what he said.

No where in the article does it even say the word “catchweight”. You just pulled it out of thin air.

Reynoso already said that ilunga is not agreing to the catchweight. And canelo said that he wants a catchweight, and mentioned 180.

I just copied this. Agreed weight is a nicer way to say, catchweight.
