Didn't Canelo come in at 170 on fight night for one of his fights?
Anyway, which weight class do you guys think Canelo will stop at or his body will allow him to?

These fighters today are not that disciplined year-round. And way too many of them are fighting at lower weight classes they don't belong in.
If they fought 6 times a year, they wouldn't have time to balloon up like some do. But, like that'll ever happen again.
The cutting and fighting below a "natural" weight class is easy to do in boxing when you have a weight class nearly every 6 pounds and the size advantage you could enjoy by cutting "only" 6 pounds is a great advantage.
Its the youngsters you have to worry about. Some drain so terribly, it leaves them completely exhausted come fight night (see Devon Alexander), so when they do move up, they're perfect for the weight class.

He should be able to make 154 in a month's time. Get down to 164 or 163 and lose the water....like most of these bigger boxers try to do. If Chavez can rehydrate over 15 pounds in a day, I think a 21 year old Canelo should be able to handle 9 or 10.

Please tell me how Jr. the mediocre boxer would KO Canelo? Also, Canelo is clearly a much better boxer. The things people say on this site...
