Don't see the big issue, Canelo looked absolutely fine.

He look fine because regardless he's still in shape. He doesn't look like Super Canelo all wide and stuff like he does on fight night.

i really don't get why canelo doesn't just moves up to 160.

Um...

154 is the JMW limit you fool if it's above 154, it's MW.

What did Cotto weigh for Martinez? I'll give one guess

dont be ****** they are both ranked at 54.... this is a catchweight fight for a 154 pound contest.....these fighters are not ranked at 60... cotto was fighting for the middleweight championship.. this fight is billed as a jmw contest not mw dummy this is for supremacy at 54!

Bu bu but it's Canelo so even if it's at 155 it doesn't matter that it's MW because it's Canelo.

This is for 154! .... At 155 !

Because there are men taller/longer, stronger and much better conditioned at 160 who will probably quickly dispel any notion that Canelo is a world class fighter.

Canelo is a good fighter who has, like a lot of other fighters today, adopted the strategy of dropping a lot of weight so that he can fight 1-2 weight classes below where he naturally belongs.

The good news is that Canelo's frame and age won't allow him to do this forever so we'll eventually get to see how he fares against opponents in an appropriate weight class.

I could respond with a "yo mama" joke, but that would be immature.
