    Could Golovkin make 152 for Mayweather if need be?

    Some posters on here are saying Canelo is a natural middleweight anyway, so he is already draining himself to make 154. Thus they are saying if he goes down to 152 he would be used to fighting drained already.

    But could the same criteria apply to GGG? Could GGG get down to 152 and fight Money Mayweather?

      Canelo is not a natural middleweight, he's smaller than guys like GGG/Quillin/Geale/Murray and a tad smaller than Martinez.

      GGG already works very hard to go down to 160 (often gets sick because he's so drained), he would be a walking corpse at 152.

        Well most of those Middles ARE pretty fuggin big lol. Murray is huge in particular

        Canelo has a great frame for 160. He'd be a tank...

          Alvarez weighed in at 172lbs vs Cotto. Does GGG weigh in more? (on fight night.)

              Sergio Martinez may be taller than Canelo but he's been known to rehydrate to as little as 165 at 160 while Canelo last rehydrated from 154 to 172 against Trout. Most of the other middleweights rehydrate between 168-175 and in Chavez's case over 180.

                I don't like the fact that people are putting so much weight (no pun intended) on Canelo's fight night weight against Trout. How do we know it wasn't a one time thing? Like when Matthysse rehydrated to 160 and Bradley to 165. Was it something out of the ordinary or does he do it on a regular basis like Chavez? We need more information.

                  No one knows the answer to this except Golovkin himself.

                    This is the fight that Manny's ex-cheerleaders[Merchant and Lampley] will be demanding for Floyd to accept when/if he beats Canelo.
