Why does Canelo fight at 155?

[SeekDaGreat]

I'm just saying you guys are labeling him as the next face of boxing yet call him lazy and ride with him on how he says he still intends to fight at JMW.



What I want to hear: Canelo can't make JMW and needs to get rid of the Canelo division, when you and Icha say such we can all go back to looking at pictures of David Haye.

I've said it, he's a MW. It's time to move up. I've been saying it, before this thread.

I don't label him the next face of boxing, he became that on his own. He's undeniably top 5 boxer in popularity. Nothing I said made that happen, I just agree.

[Beater_of_ass]

it seems he doesnt want to go the extra mile to burn 1 lb if is not a title fight...
but he doesnt seem to struggle making 155 yet..
by the way lara has more fights over 154 than canelo and no one complains..

He actually fought MW's though.

[mozzer101]

He declares he is still a JMW?


How does that work?

He has used the excuse that his last two fights were non tittle fights so no need to make 154.

[Mr. Miyagi]

I don't think the JMW titles were on the line when Maidana 2 happened.

Pacquiao met Chris at a fair weight. Pacquiao came down a little, Chris came up.


Let's clear another thing up: Canelo isn't Pacquiao or Mayweather.

Yes they were dude. Just stop, you're making javi blush.

here you go:
vs maslov 158, vs gross 154 1/2, vs gray 155, vs boone 155, vs varela 155, vs perez 155 1/2, vs brewer 154 1/2, vs correa 155, vs hearns 156 1/2,
vs canelo 155...
thats 10 fights out of 24, yet canelo has 2 out of almost 50 and you all come here to cry...

Paul Williams was at 157 I believe, that's still one MW more than Canelo regardless. Cotto has fought more MW than Canelo and he's only had one fight in the weight class, just give up already.

[VaBoriKua2012]

Floyd and PAC doing catch weights is usually that. A catch weight where both fighters are moving up and the other moving down.

In canelo's case, He's just fighting 154 fighters at his own weight of 155.

I'll give DG a pass since he seems to be moving up. His next fight needs to be at WW though.

The difference is this is going to be canelo 3rd fight in a row at this weight. This is now the third 15 pounder that he is fighting at 155 instead of 154. When's the last time you've seen a top fighter do 3 Catchweights in a row vs guys that are in the weight class he was just fighting in a year earlier.

Yes there were dude. Just stop, you're making javi blush.

No they werent, I thought that was just a rumor?


Edit: I just went on Wiki and apparently they were. Well Floyd is a ****** what else is new.

again beer, take a break and come back strong...

You said Lara had more fights at a CW than Canelo, I wasn't arguing your point. But with a CW in the MW division, at least Cotto and Lara fought MW's that's all I was saying. How can you even try to debate that lol?
