Middleweight limit is 160lb.
155lb catchweight is fine for all bouts not involving champions vs mandatory challengers. that goes for catchweights in general.
Canelo is the lineal and WBC middleweight champion, he beat the former champ and he weighs within the middleweight limit.
GGG doesn't have to "sack up" and fight Canelo at 155lb. If his team is at all prudent (and K2 have proven themselves as prudent promoters) they will just wait Canelo out, as Canelo weighing 160lb at the weigh in is coming soon. Not if, but when.
WBC will not strip their countryman, Canelo won't drop that green belt either. He'll pay some step aside $$ to GGG until Team Canelo feels they are ready and/or see weakness in GGG.
Before you discard intellectual honesty and attempt to troll me, I must advise that I will not feed into your trolling and will only cordially respond with logic, reasoning, and facts.
