Comments Thread For: Canelo: When I Decide To Go 160, I'll Face The Best

How come Golovkin fans would rather cut off one of their own fingers before they let Gennady be a man of his word and give lil 153lb Cotto a reasonable cw?

2016 is great year for 160. It's restabilized imo. The Quillin and Jacobs bout alone is the highest caliber 160 bout for 2015. Korobov and Lee 2nd, Lee vs Quillin 3rd. What do they all have in common? Champs vs Champs.

cootto and canola couple of catchweight charlatans

Seriously, this is not even funny anymore. Quit making excuses and take your ass-whooping like a man. It helps build toughness and make you stronger.

You are always weighing unofficially well above the 160lb weight limit on fight nights anyway. For example you weighed in on the night of the Austin Trout bout at 172lb and again at 171lb on the night of the Erislandy Lara bout after nearly hydrating 20 pounds each time; 19 for Trout and 16 for Lara.

In my judgement your biggest problem is the fear of getting hurt.

Yeah this sucks. Really disappointed in team Alvarez here.

It's time to face the music, move up to 160 and fight Geale, Macklin or whoever. Do whatever you got to do to test the weight and get comfortable. Stop delaying the inevitable. Canelo would still be a big middleweight. Currently he's an enormous "155" pounder.

Hell, maybe the next PPV King is content being low boy on P4P. God knows no one will respect him now.

Ring Magazine is a corrupt Goldenboy owned entity, their ranks are biased.

What's funny is Goldenboy says Canelo isn't a MW, but they rank him as one.

This dumb **** thinks he gets to create a 155 weight class. Maybe he does, but who is going to respect it.

How do you say fraud in Spanish?




Cotto is more likely to man up.

Funny thing is, Canelo trying to act like he is Cotto size.

Cotto us probably laughing his ass off.



He is, 155 is the I hope I don't fight GGG division.



Lol!



We all know that's a lie. Canelo wanted it at 157. He's a turd.



Why drain himself to do it. Canelo won't fight him anyways.

the spanish word for fraud is Canelo...hehe...it's actually fraude but u know what i mean

Since when is a weight class made up of 1 specific weight (160lbs). MW is 154.1 - 160. You are are a middleweight Canelo. You're 167.8lbs 30-days out and step into the ring at 170lbs+

Canelo os so full of S H I T(& so is Miguel Cotto).. His(Canelo's) last 3 fights have been in the middleweight category, whether it was just 1/4 of a pound or 1 full pound into the category, it was still in the middleweight division & if a fighter fights for a world title in that division & wins & wants to unify titles it should be with in the division WITHOUT demanding a catch weight & Canelo has the built to make the full 160lbs easily.. & now he's using the Mayweather fight as an excuse(fight was at a 152lbs catch weight which he did easily & Mayweather weighed 150 1/2)when before & even after the fight he himself said the weight wasn't an issue especially the day of the fight when Canelo weighed 165lbs & Mayweather went down to exactly 150lbs.. Canelo & Cotto should just admit they have nothing on Golovkin & know they are most likely getting KO'd & that's why they have plans on running for their lives back down to "jr middleweight" leaving the middleweight title vacant after they fight..

'Go to 160'

What does that even mean?

A weight class is a range of weights, not a specific weight. Canelo has been fighting at Middleweight for a while

Defending Canelo right now has got to be tougher than defending OJ Simpson back then. The guy's doing himself in with his ill-timed comments, and his fans are scrambling to find excuses for him. Like the knowledgeable people on this thread have already said, Canelo is already the same size as GGG, or bigger. All this talk by Canelo smells of blatant ducking. He hasn't even gotten past Cotto yet, and he's already doing a moonwalk that would put the late Michael Jackson to shame. If I was a Canelo fan I would've already shrugged my shoulders and admitted my fighter is scared ****less of GGG.
