Dammit let's do it in September!

No plaster, no glory...

That W was Plaster Free kid.

They call him King Cotto,

But Never heard of a "King" who would kneel before anyone..

Canelo and Ward and Froch and Dirrell and Floyd beat GGG

GGG cannot beat canelo or Ward or froch or Andre Direll minus that worthless gran pappy and even little Floyd beats GGG. hell Andy lee might beat GGG.

[Butt stuff]

NEVER, try to catch a genuine boxing fan, on a technicality.

Canelo is clearly not a middleweight, yet.

155 is a JMW, who came in 1lb over.

If Canelos handlers keep making smart decisions, like Golovkins handlers are doing, then that fight is at least 12-18 months away yet.

Canelo will likely be a real middleweight by then, and he will face Golovkin in a "passing of the torch" fight at 158-160.

Its not a technicality, its the truth and thats how its always been.

You can't fight for the Jr Middleweight belt if you weigh 155, why? Because you're in the fully fledged middleweight division. Doesn't matter whether you weigh 155 or 160, its the same unfortunately for Canelo.

Canelo is a middleweight now. He rehydrates to a heavier weight than GGG does. He just tries to squeeze himself down as much as possible.

Nah, thats rubbish !

FACT : Canelo has never fought at middleweight

FACT : Canelo has never fought a middleweight

Canelo will be stronger at 160.

Canelo weighs 155 now, because he has not yet made the move to middleweight..... when Canelo does move up, he will weigh 159.5-160.

That will allow him to train a little differently, and bring a bit more out of himself.

Canelo should likely move up to middleweight now.

No

Canelo will be a middleweight, when he is preparing to enter the ring at/under 160.

Until then, his core diet/training/conditioning, is geared toward making 154/155.

I cant believe we are discussing this.

I agree that he should move to up middleweight..... after which, he will be weighing 160'ish, not 155.

Rehydration is part of the game now, same day weigh-ins ftw.

Everyone called Chavez Jnr a middleweight, and what division is he in now ?

FACT: 155 is within the mw limit

Doesn't canelo rehydrate to 170 which is pretty much what GGG weighs on fight night.

If Khan says it, you know it's ****.

It is incredibly naive to think that Canelo prepares as a MW, when he weighs in at 155. That is either ****** or dishonest.

Nothing that I said is even slightly inaccurate.....

BTW, rehydration weight, is completely irrelevant.
