Why is canelo not moving up to MW is he afraid??

[Nay_Sayer]

Why move up at 160 where there are no money fight outside of cotto. GGG is the other credible opponent at 160. 160 is actually one of the weakest division.



154 is deeper and canelo can stay there and fight far superior opponent.

If anything why GGG is fighting at 160 when everyone at 168 is calling him out

It's obvious that Alvarez has outgrown 154.

[Nay_Sayer]

I agree with what you say but he should at least make the 154... Fu@k the 155 catch weight ****.

^This right here. If you can't make 154 then don't fight 154lb'ers...

[mozzer101]

He drains himself b4 fights he is becoming the catchweight king.....

people call floyd a ducker but this mofoker is ducking a whole division??

he likes to fight fighters who are smaller then him and people are talking about him as a atg

take a seat please

yes he has talent and potential i will not take that away but why starve yourself canelo???

Why does he need to move up to middle weight? There is plenty of lucrative fights at 154 lb?

[Public_Enemy]

Probably because 160 isn't that good right now. Once he moves up, there is no returning to 154. He still has good fights at 154 like Molina, Kirkland and Andrade. We still don't know if Cotto is staying at MW so the only good MW fight for Canelo is with GGG. Eventually, he will have to move up to 160 anyway. I don't see what the rush is.

He pulls from the Mikey Garcia, Chavez Jr., etc. play book.

Drain it self to fight smaller guys and have the advantage.

Bulling guys who are smaller, yet, the only one who got dominated was Angulo and some say that there was some "shaddy" stuff going on the background.

[Divine Hammer]

it's clear that he wants to maintain a weight advantage against all of his opponents.

plus you have ggg at 160. canelo doesn't want to be a good boy.

Both Trout and Angulo weighed above 170 when they fought Canelo and Lara wasn't far behind at 166. JMW's are huge at the moment not just Canelo. Most of these guys can fight at 160. Look at other guys like Rosado, Andy Lee, Willie Nelson, and Kirkland. Andrade is a huge JMW too. The only fighter Canelo has had a huge weight advantage on (in his last 4) was Mayweather. Most fighters these days are cutting weight.

Technically he is a MW fighter.

Because he can't make 154 anymore. His last two fights have been in the middleweight division. If you can't make 154 then it's time to move up.
