    Observing past behaviour is the best way to predict future behaviour.

    Canelo ain't a *****. I think he fights anybody.

      This is the guy who wrecks Canelo?

      You must be on drugs.
      Bookmark it. Yes, he destroys Canelo. Easy work.

        I honestly just can't see Canelo waiting around fighting nameless fighters for his May and September PPV's. The first no name on PPV he fights will tank and that will be it.

          Remember Canelo's killer streak of Hatton, Rhodes, Gomez, Cintron, old Mosley and 140lber Lopez?

          It was such a dramatic change of direction when Canelo stepped up. But I understand your point. Canelo has fought guys that have little of knocking him out, and Oscar can rely heavily on the judges giving Canelo victories in either way fights (a la Trout and Lara). That's not the case with GGG - he's a direct threat as he's well capable of stopping Canelo.

          I wouldn't mind the fight at 157, with Canelo having the lions share of the purse. That's pretty fair

              It's obvious canelo cant make 154lb to save his life. I gave him credit for kicking lara's ass ard the ring. It would be tough to favor any 154lb over canelo as those asshles barely fight....Dont try to gimme any name, i cant remember the last time anybody dare to beat another top ten in their division...Canelos got a big piece of the mw pie, he either got to protect it, or drop it like a hot chica...

                Canelo would KO Andrate with ease. Who did Andrade beat who was worth a ****. You won't find any quality fighters like Cotto, Trout or Lara that shot picker do nothing Andrade has defeated. Since you have his picture up it's clear you picked Andrade as your favorite fighter so you are hardly neutral. You have Andrade so overrated it's pathetic. My favorite fighter Canelo would just plain kick the dog **** out of your favorite fighter Andrade. Canelo is a star and rightfully so. Andrade is almost unknown because he hasn't done much at all.

                  I don't know if that man just can't lose a pound or if he just doesn't have enough of a reason to but to me it seems like a simple decision. Go back down to 154. He'll be the best fighter there imo and, for a fact, by far the biggest draw. The Golovkin fight is the biggest but Canelo, because of his popularity and his age, can wait Golovkin out if he wants to.

                      He can just drag guys up from 154 and have 20 lbs on them.

                      His real challenge is going to be making his own 155, 156, 157 catchweights without hitting 160.
