He can't be seen as a great fighter until he actually beats a decent fighter who is as big as he is.

What is it with Canelo and every Flavor of the Month?

Well, all we're hearing from Alvarez's side is how the fight won't happen yet and if it does, it will be at 155. And Golovkin is certainly no Lara or Trout or Angulo or whoever.
I think he has enough pride that he could step up to this, though. He has been on a nonstop good run since the Trout fight, and has a history of taking the fights people want him to take.

First it was Angulo... yes believe or not new boxing fans there was a time where fans thought Canelo would never face Angulo and that Angulo would destroy him in 2 rounds. Hmm sounds familiar...
Then it was Kirkland after he destroyed Angulo in Cancun, it was the same thing. See above...
Then comes Austin Trout, I gotta give it up to the fans they got really creative with this one. That Canelo would never face him, Trout will make him look silly in the ring, Canelo should stay as far away as possible, bad style match up, etc.
Then comes Erislandy Lara... and same as above.
Here we are today with the new flavor of the month... GGG. And it's the same thing all over again.
So why after all these years are people still saying that Canelo will duck fighters?

Weight classes have no minimum weight.... Canelo could ask for 105lb and itd still be in the middleweight division (as well as countless others)
So I take it you disagreed with Canelo being ranked no.1 at 154 for all the years he fought at 155, and that if he continues to fight 154lbers at 155 (middleweight, as you say), he's going to get some criticism from yourself?
