Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Canelo Has The Style To Disappoint Many GGG Fans

[boliodogs]

I dont have a problem with the fight being at 155-160.

Canelo can fight at his best weight and come in at 155 like he wishes.

GGG can come in between 155-160 as he wishes too.

Seems fair doesnt it?

No it doesn't seem fair. World middleweight title fights have been fought at the 160 pound limit and not an ounce less for the last one hundred years with only a few BS exceptions. Emile Griffith and Carman Basilo were welterweights but when they won the middleweight title they defended it at the full 160 pound weight limit. To do otherwise is to break the rules and try to rewrite history. Middleweight world title fights are suppose to be fought at the full 160 pound limit and not some vague catchweight the champion decides on somewhere between 155 and 159. The !60 pound weight limit for middleweight title fights is fair and correct. Any weight limit less than 160 is unfair and wrong. If you are saying the weight limit for this fight should be 160 then I agree with you. If you are saying the top weight limit should be less than 160 then we disagree.

155? 160? Doesnt matter..youll be crying about fight night wts when Canelo UDs GGG anyway.

Oh I'm really concerned. Ha, in all honestly, if Canelo beats GGG at 160 I will say Canelo is great. I care little about zeros.

If it's at 155, I'll know Canelo had to weaken GGG, and I'll have zero respect for him, as I do for Floyd.

However, I'm not worried, Canelo will give a spirited defense, but in the end, he won't be able to take that much punishment.

I'll expect the excuses to come though. At 155 GGG probably still wins, he'll like I said, he was 159 for Monroe.

Again. Its not gonna mattet when ur @$$3$ will be crying around about fight night wts by the end of it. When Canelo wins itll be bcuz hes competed against the better overall comp and believe me that class will show in the ring.

[Mr. Philadel]

I agree with Hoya for once....Nelo is liver in this fight than many people think...I wouldn't be surprised if he iced Lil G....Nelo can punch as well, Lil G won't be the ONLY puncher in the ring when he faces Nelo....this fight is gonna be VERY VERY interesting IMO
