How many top middleweights can make 155 lbs?

[BOXEO _]

Andy Lee aaaaaaaand that's about it. Canelo's going to be fighting a 154 pounders next.

Catchweights have always been part of boxing, but never before has a world champion refused to fight his mandatory challenger at the sanctioned weight limit of any division.

I can't believe the number of so called fans who post here calling Golovkin a coward for refusing to accept Canelo's demands.

This shit has to be stopped now. The sport will lose all credibility if Canelo is allowed to get away with it and other big name fighters start following his example.

good post, I used to hold Canelo in higher esteem, but not anymore

I'm curious, because the so-called #1 is not willing to fight above 155 lbs, which automatically excludes some fighters as potential opponents. So my question is: How can you be ranked #1 in a weight division, if 90% of the fighters in this division are physically unable to fight you, because of your exclusive demands?

Well technically, 154.5-160 is considered Middlweight, not defends Canelo but I'm just saying

Yep agree. The last time the WBC middleweight belt featured in a fight where both fighters could weigh in at 160 was early 2013 when Martinez faced Murray, if i recall correctly.

Since then no-one involved in a WBC MW title fight has been allowed to weight in at the divisions limit. And that trend looks to continue for as long as Canelo is the champion.
It's a ridiculous situation. If they want to do catchweights fine..but they shouldn't be allowed to hold on the title while doing so.

jesus christ

defending a title at CW is BS, but there is a big chance he fights for a title at 154 next without defending the MW title, he could try to hold titles in two weight classes like Floyd did... he looked very healthy at the weigh in vs cotto and 1 more pound wont drain him...
unlike his previous fights he started training earlier to stay in shape and it paid off at the weigh in... looked in better shape than the lara, Angulo and Kirkland fights IMHO...
