If "My body ain't ready for 160" doesn't make weight on November 21...

[Larry the boss]

so if he misses the CW vs cotto the belt won't be on the line? even if he is below the MW limit?

No they are just making stuff up there is no way in hell that could pass

[El-blanco]

That is not a rule...lol wtf??? you can vacate a ABC belt all you want,as long as you still fight in the division you keep the Ring title and lineal title can not be lost until you lose or leave the division

Are you suggesting Canelo would be considered the lineal champ even if he avoided a fight with the number one contender? That's the only reason he'd drop the wbc belt, to avoid that mandatory.

[LHK]

What would be the point of a catchweight that you can miss and still fight for the title? There would be no tangible punishment for missing the weight.

[i'm a fun haver]

Who cares if he drops the WBC??? he would still be Ring/Lineal champion and the biggest name in the division

And he doesn't want any part of the best fighter in the division.

You can't vacate to avoid #1 contender, then fight 1lb above the lower division and remain The Champ gtfo. #1 rule is, you must be a MW to be MW champ. Makes sense?

Yes i am,there is no rule for the Ring that you have to fight any mandatories nor the lineal title.....

Dariuz Michalczewski never fought Roy and remained Lineal

Then it's bogus. Being the real champ means fighting the number one guys. If you're not doing that it's a paper title.

They've probably implemented major financial penalties for missing weight.

Will he move up to MW or become a three division champion at 156lbs? Btw, I see Canelo becoming a 6 weight divisions champion(154,155,156,157,158,159) and when he won't be able to make 159, Canelo moves up to 159.1.

he was 154.5 on his last fight , dont you worry he will be just fine...

What I found strange is the fact that GGG holds belt of a different organisation but the WBC made him their mandatory for their belt. Is that a new thing? Has it ever happen before?
