Why does Canelo fight at 155?

[garfios]

Disrespectful indeed, but he hasn't had a fight worth making the weight for since Mayweather.

Obviously he struggles to make the weight of 154, so why you gonna kill yourself to make it when your throwing cash at guys like Lara and Kirkland who yes, are good fighters but are not in any position to make him come down to 154. Canelo uses the leverage because he's the one who brings in the money and the other guys are jumping at a shot to make that money. So it's easy for him to say **** it, we're fighting at 155.

But tbh, look who he's used the weight against. Angulo, who's a middle weight now, Lara who is a big JMW, and now Kirkland who's also a big JMW.

I agree it's disrespectful but he's not exactly dragging WWs up to 155, nor is he dragging superstars up or down to JWW
I haven't heard anyone but NSB complain about it.

Well he used to bring jww to 154, actually the wbc gave him the belt when he fought a non clasified ww in hatton, at a catch weight thet he himself missed...

Shhhhhhh don't bring that up.

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?

i dont debate that, but thats not the topic here... i never said you were wrong, just in the wrong thread...

and the kid was rightfully crucified for that, but then we try to ignore the whole boxing world is doing the same...

Hard rules become flexible if you can sell enough tickets.

Well, isnt he just the devil himself.

And I know, Canelo is the only one in boxing who has done something like this.

I'm still wondering what's the point, are we supposed to stop liking him now?

Yes. Now you're starting to get it.

[intoccabile]

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..

the Lara fight should have been a title fight and he still refused to do 154.
