    Mate, Canelo would have been a light heavy in old days of the same day weight in. And 168 didn`t exist in old days.

I happen to think super-welter and super-middle are unnecessary divisions. Charlo's identical twin brother operates at middleweight comfortably, historically Canelo and Charlo would have both been middleweights.
      Who gives a **** what "historically" what they would have fought at. This isn't 40+ years ago. Currently, they were fighting 14 lbs apart; there's no way you can spin that.

        Canelo dominated danny jacobs who was naturally bigger and supposed to give canelo problems with his slick boxing style lol, after canelo dominated him this quietly got forgotten

          No, because he would have prepared for the same day weigh in at middleweight. He would have been a product of his time.

            What motivation do I have to "spin" it? I'm not emotionally invested in these people the way you are. My point is these unnecessary weight classes skew our perception of size differential. In the case of Charlo, we have his identical twin brother to measure against, who is a comfortable middleweight. They're both middleweights. If you still want to make the argument Canelo is a cherrypicking fraud or whatever, crack on, I don't care. But the size thing is silly, they're both roughly middleweights.

              That's why you don't go talking this race superiority BS. Seems like this day and age that's what a lot of ppl go off.
              Racism? Every post you make on this site is racially motivated. Every single one. The racist scum bag is YOU!

                  Charlos is a weight bully hes huge and a lot of folks said "he gon beat canelo" cuz he "athletic"

                  His twin brutha ain't no better than his younger twin that's for sure. Same results maybe even worse.

                  And the funny thing Is jermall has said nothing about avenging his brother. Lol
                  Every post from you is racially motivated. Every one…….

                      Whether you view them as unnecessary or not, they were still fighting at those weights. And just because they're twins and Jermall is fighting at MW, means that Jermell should be fighting at exactly the same weight as him? That's pretty ****** reasoning. Didn't realize that twins are essentially the same person.
