How can you rank Canelo no.1 at 154?

[Beercules]

I would say he would fight GGG at 155, but again, he has yet to even fight a MW at that weight.

Canelo isn't the future, he is in his own weight class.

TBRB, the RING and Boxingscene all rank Canelo as no.1 at 154, below Champion Floyd Mayweather.

Yet, he hasn't fought in the division for two fights, and if i'm not mistaken, is about to take a 3rd fight outside of 154. You'd think after two fights (as well as a clear intention not to fight there next), he'd be removed from the rankings.

Lara has a TKO victory over Angulo (despite a tough fight), and complete wipeouts over Trout and Smith, all at 154 which I feel warrants him to be ranked higher than Canelo at the weight, if Canelo deserves to be ranked there at all.

Is this nitpicking? Weight divisions are there for a reason. If you fight outside the weight, you shouldn't be ranked there, nor should your victories count unless they are in that division. I'm well aware fighters, often lower ranked ones, take fights a few pounds north of a division, but they don't usually affect the top rankings of a division.

Thoughts?

Lara looked like utter **** in the Ishe Smith fight.

Canelo is a junior middleweight as long as folks consider him a junior middleweight; the only reason he fights at 155 is to avoid paying additional sanctioning fees to organizations where Floyd Mayweather Jr is still the champion (after beating him).

You add that Canelo already beat Lara and has looked better that Lara has, in the performances since losing to Floyd, and the case gets weaker.

He should love his fans instead of haters, maybe that way he'd fight at 154 or actual MW's.
