Comments Thread For: Canelo's Coach: We Are Not Inventing a New Division!

[Shadoww702]

It's not about him fighting at 141, it's about him fighting for titles at CWs.

That's the problem people have with Canelo.....................even though Manny did the same thing.

See Antonio Margarito & Cotto.

He's only fought two catchweights for titles and one was not his fault...

Lara had a title but Canelo didn't want to fight for it. Like I told the guy earlier not all CW have to involve belts.

This is just downright ******......thats why i say if GGG wants that title and to get the division back in order then just agree to the weight and kick his ass..the rewards will be great

We don't buy it for a second man, you want to see a weak GGG weighting 165 on fight night while canelo is weighting 178 or so.

[Shadoww702]

Of course not, you just want to fight at a division that doesn't exist yet.

I'm sure a LOT of ppl want to fight Canelo @155. GGG is just not one of them. GGG can fight Lee on PPV and Canelo can fight someone else.

Angulo actually outweighed him? Lara who GGG won't fight was 5 lbs less than him. And these are WEIGHTS on day of the fights.

Actually no - Angulo weighed 170lbs and Alvarez weighed 174lbs.

Alvarez/Angulo was supposed to be at 154lbs, Canelo missed weight and just paid Angulo $100k. Then at 3pm fight day Canelo had to be under 168lbs, he weighed in 166lbs. Then at fight time put on another 8lbs.

Canelo is only able to make 155lbs because he's so young. His body can squeeze out the 20lbs of water and then reabsorb in the 24hr period, but by next May that could very well be too much for him.

LOL. That was a typo. From Dan. Go watch the fight and they'll give you the REAL fight weights

[Chuckguy]

so pac has catchweights and cotto does and its cool. but canelo cant?

****** POS hypocrites, ****ing fa99ots you ****** ass biased fans are.

They didn't spend their careers at a CW like Cant-nelo is! Dumb az

[Shadoww702]

Trying to find it right now. He had it backwards I think?? But Angulo DEFINITELY outweighed him.

Actually the Showtime telecast screwed up the weights.

Canelo weighs 174 in the ring. Angulo is 170

@StevenCampos2 The showtime guy in front of me handed me the weights on a slip of paper and they were what I told you

And new WTF 155 division Champion ...

OK then. Fight anyone under 160. That's the key - 160! Get it? WBC middleweight belt can be contested by anyone weighing 160 or less. You can keep the 155 WTF strap until anyone under 155 comes challenging you for it.

[bojangles1987]

All these fights at 155 suggest otherwise. Pretty soon, the time will come where he can't make it but he'll drain himself yet again, only this time it will be too much.
