Open Discussion About 155: Why Are You Supporting it? Are You Against It?

[gauze]

i'm against the whole catch weight thing. if you want to weigh in at a certain weight that is still part of the middleweight division, that's fine, but don't force the other guy to come in at the same weight. middleweight is 154.01-160. if you weigh over 154 pounds at the weigh-in, you are a middleweight.

the catchweight thing is even more ridiculous considering how many weight divisions there are now. i mean why dont we just make a new division every 3 pounds or something? we can have more belts!!!

[Raonic]

I don't mind catchweights if it's reasonable but not for title fights. I do find it ironic the many complaining about the CW by Floyd-Canelo is now supporting Canelo's 155 nonsense.

I voted it is a joke. But that is only for title fights. All title fights should be fought at the regular class limit and not an ounce less. That applies to all weight classes not just middleweight. ALL CATCHWEGHT TITLE FIGHTS ARE WRONG. If no title is being fought for Canelo has every right to fight at 155 and it hurts nobody.

[REMOVE SHARK 55]

He'll fight anyone from 54-68 he said. Remember Floyd using the Boxing Scene article against Canelo, Canelos just using the same tactic.

It's lame as **** but I wanna see Little G get forced to make the weight in order to get the fight with Canelo. Tired of his little sneaky sucker moves and crying about not getting good fights.

[Flabble Scrote]

Catchweights are complete bull****, its only ever done to hobble and weight drain the non-house fighter, Canelo can easily carry 160lbs, total b1tch move

Cheapens the title and their legacy too, you cant look back and say he beat soandso for middleweight title in a fair fight

If you have the middleweight belt, **** or get off the pot, 160lbs or move elsewhere

[The Ninth Layer]

This is a stay-busy fight for Canelo if we're realistic, Canelo-Khan doesn't happen at any weight besides 155. I'd rather see this matchup than Canelo-Geale or something on PPV. I think this is something Canelo can really only do once though, next time around fans are not going to be as accepting.

[Flabble Scrote]

He should fight Golovkin and take his lumps at middleweight or get back down to 154, hes either a middleweight or hes not

Khan is very brave and I hope hes got his dancing shoes on for this one, he shouldnt be underestimated imo but he'll probably get monstered by the much bigger guy

[fanofslug]

Don't blame Canelo. If he can get away with it and keep earning for a while longer more power to him. Blame his enablers: WBC incompetence and GGG cowardice.

I'm not a fan of catchweights in general, but I don't want to hear any member of Team GGG or the defense force cry about it after they tried to justify the 164 for Ward with "A-side rules!!!!".
