155 = 164

[bug0092]

Anybody here think it'd be smart for GGG to come out right now and declare he'll agree to 155?..

There is no degrees to this................... a catchweight is a catchweight.

People are STILL hating on Ward to this day for fighting Dawson at a CW even though Dawson was the one who SUGGESTED it.

This isn't a recent trend. Some of you guys are exposing yourselves right now.

CW for titles are recent? Are you serious? Really, do some of y'all know ANYTHING about the history of this sport?

Are you new to reading, my ******ed friend? I was very clear, what's new is champs demanding CWs vs divisional contenders. That's the worst kind of CW, since it automatically invalidates your belt. Canelo took it to an extreme with the most pitiful CW demand ever

[HeroBando]

i agree.

What Canelo is doing, GGG tried to

Wrong again dumb****. Did Ggg win the lineal SMW belt, then demand to defend at 161 vs mando Ward, who he outweighs fight night? No, none of that happened

I hate conversing with idiots, they're just so ******.

Let me quote myself:

Are you guys slow?

Let me help you guys:

SRL refused to defend his LHW title against anybody (including mandatorys) in the LHW division unless they agreed to his CW. (Bob Arum inspired)

It's the same fcking thing.

Huh Duh.............. Canelo is doing the same thing. It's not new. What's new is you "boxing" fans who started watching highlights of the sport 2 years ago.

Dude, it's still a catchweight.

This fake outcry that it is bad for the sport and whatever is complete crap. It has been done multiple times throughout decades of boxing.

How many fighters who were champs at the time, had to defend their own belts at a CW, against the lineal title holder, whilst also being a mandatory?

A CW isn't a CW.

It depends on the circumstances.

[robertzimmerman]

exactly, also may I point out team lil G says its all about unifying but in teh same breath say they are seriously looking at hopkins which will obviously be at a catchweight.

lmfao.

Having a CW as a voluntary, is completely different to defending titles and fighting the lineal title holder at a CW.

[robertzimmerman]

Yeah, I never understood that hypocrisy.

Fighting at a catchweight for a belt isn't new. SRL did it and nobody gives a fck.
It's wrong, but I just don't get the double standard.

Different circumstances.

I'm not going through this again.

You guys should brush up on your boxing history.

[robertzimmerman]

nope. GGG didn't ask ward to go down to 161, 164 lbs is halfway. also, canelo holds the MW belt, as in middleweight. the division GGG fights. GGG doesn't hold any belt at 168, 167, 166, 165, 164, 163, 162 or 161 lbs

Bingo!

The circumstances are clearly different.

[robertzimmerman]

There's degrees of bad. CW for no title, who cares. Did anyone cry about Ward vs Smith at 172? Cws for titles are worse, but not as bad as champs asking for CWs to defend their belts. That's a recent disgraceful trend. What makes it even worse with Canelo is he's lineal, he's asking for a CW vs mando, lowest possible CW (both unprecedented) while weighing more than the challenger fight night lol

I couldn't have put it better myself.

How can anyone argue against this?

It's a joke.
