Comments Thread For: Canelo Not Heading To Middleweight Any Time Soon

[YalMustveForgot]

so you didnt pay and have angulo sign a different contract for 155 a few hours before weigh in?

He's already at middleweight. Stop being a b*tch, ginger.

Canelo is the A side against the 99.9% of the fighters, that's why he doesn't give a fuck about the weight

Bottom line: If you fight above 154, you are a MW. Otherwise, make 154.

The same thing goes for Cotto's diva self. If you want to force guys to fight MW fights below 160, you don't belong at 160. Weight classes are there for a reason, stop degrading the sport.

You just have to look at Alvarez's options to figure out what he's doing. There's no one left for him to fight at 154 outside of Demtrius Andrade (and that won't happen).

GB is suing Haymon, which means Canelo won't be fighting the Charlo's, J-Rock, Harrison, Gausha, Golub, or Dolton. HBO won't pay him $3mill to fight Andrade, Baysangurov, or Rabchenko. Kirkland was his last option. Only option after Cotto is to fight MW's. He'll be laughed at if he tries to fight Bradley.

K9 could be a potential option (assuming he beats Charlo). Andrade could've been an option if he was actually being built up, but he has stagnated.

Canelo Not Heading To Full Middleweight Any Time Soon
should be the correct title for this article, he is already a MW

Wtf is one pound though? It makes no sense what they are doing. I could see if he was doing it at like 158 or something like that. Not that I agree with any of it but one pound is just dumb.

K9 isn't beating Charlo. And Andrade was never gonna get a Canelo fight. I think we both know that.

Andrade would have to do what Lara did (show up at a press conference) to even get noticed. K9 probably won't beat Charlo, but it's a step-up in competition and anything can happen.

K9's about to be retired by Jermall Charlo (and not soon enough). Honestly he's less appealing than Clottey. I think the 155lbs versions of Macklin, Monroe, Geale, Saunders, T.Johnson, Heiland are possible as he 'feels out the division'...

It's really kind of sad when you think Alvarez as our modern day version of Trinidad/DelaHoya. Angulo and Kirkland were faded/damaged fighters built for him, where Lara and Trout were unsatisfying close/controversial decisions, and the Mayweather bout was a one-sided spanking.
