Comments Thread For: Photo: Canelo Tips in at 167.8 at WBC's 30-Day Weighin

just out of curiosity, what was GGG weight 30 days before his fight?

does it really matter? these guys drain themselves to get to the weights they want at these things anyway

[boxingfan4life]

The problem with the catchweight is that Canelo has his excuse should be lose. The casual fans jump on that. He knew well before he agreed to the fight and past fights that he should have moved up to 160. He obviously wants the biggest fight so he took it. However, if Cotto wins and Canelo has stamina issues anyway, then he will just say that he was weight drained. I do not think Cotto will get full credit. Cotto loses then he is over the hill.

Yeah that's another reason I don't like the catch weight fights. The weight drained excuse will be used for the loser. That was the excuse being thrown around in the Pacquiao vs Cotto and Mayweather Vs. Canelo. I used to support catch weight fights saying its no big deal, just a couple pounds. Now my opinion has changed.

No one said he was to big for 160..just said his best opponent was at 168

That may be Larry but the problem is THAT GUY can't make 168 so it would have to be at 175, or a catch-weight somewhere between.

you idiot if you trust boxrec.


Cotto according to boxrec 5'7.Canello 2 inch taller idiot?
On yours picture Canelo closer to camera, you can see that if you look on Nelo's arms.They are not as big at real.
Wrong angle



Right angle:

You've succeeded at convincing me that you are a complete moron.

GGG can have the belt. To get Cotto, it's gonna be 80/20 and at 155.

That's fine GGG will take the belt and Cotto can hang his cowardly head in front of his PR fans and they can have a big shameful cry together. On second thought he probably won't have a belt to give up as Canelo will smoke him next month, so it really will be academic.

And cotto will look like the biggest pink crocs wearing mamao ever for dumping the belt to avoid GGG

Yeah, you know **** about boxing Cotto started at junior welterweight. He has won titles in 4 weight Classes. GGG has stayed stagnit at 160 and does not look to want to move up.

For GGG to accomplish everything that Cotto did he would have to go down to 154 win a title, go up to 168 and win a title, and then go up to 175 and win a title. I highly doubt GGG moves past 168. He doesn't want to leave 160 and his promoters are going to hold him there.

Not only that Cotto fought the best at 140 when he defended his titles there. He fought the best at 147, and 154. GGG has yet to do that. His biggest fight to date was against a slugger, that came in with the wrong game plan.

So Cotto calls the shots because of what he has done, not because he is scared. In order for GGG to accomplish half of what Cotto has done he needs to be willing to wiggle around weight classes and not stay hard headed about staying at 160.

GGG isn't relevant to a star like Cotto. I mean, look at those pathetic numbers from this past weekend.

I'm a Cotto fan, but his numbers against Sergio were pretty disappointing too.

350K is not bad.

pac-morales avg 350K.

but that was at the lower weight classes.
