Canelo says he is not a middle weight and won't give up concessions to gg

[-Kev-]

158 minimum otherwise strip the belt from'em.

155 is the minimum at MW, 160 is the maximum. If GGG wants the fight, accept the terms or move on up. Ward wanted GGG, but did not accept the 164lb terms, so he moved on up. Abraham at 168 is there for the taking, it won't be easy but I think GGG beats him at this point, and he wins a title at 168, and earns a lot of money in that fight. When you want to fight in a big money fight, when you want a hand out from the bigger star, just accept his terms, Canelo doesn't need GGG right now. Floyd accepted all of DLH's demands and look at what the trade-in was for.

when you feel you are a middleweight then you can fight GGG. But other than that I think GGG should give him a fight at 157 or 158.

GGG has tried to reason with him but what can u do?

No he hasn't reasoned with him at all. His team said they won't listen to any of Canelos demands. They wont even negotiate terms

Thats actually a great idea. Murray is seen as ggs best win and Arthur just recently exposed murray so it seems like a great fight in Germsny or NY

[Cinci Champ]

Ball is in ggs court if he really wants a big fight he should accept Canelos reasonable terms

either accept his demands or finally force a purse bid otherwise whatever team ggg says is bs it is what it is

[kiaba360]

Canelo is expecting GGG to acquiesce, hopefully he doesn't. The fight can happen later when Canelo has moved up completely to 160.

any chance ring strips him like they did rigo and adonis? lol

No. He just won the title 4 months ago. It takes 18 months without fighting a top 5 contender in your weight division to get stripped. Adonis and Rigondeaux went 18 months without fighting a top 5 contender in their weight divisions. Stevenson's last top 5 win was Tavoris Cloud in 2013. Rigo's last top 5 win was Donaire in 2013, their 18 months was up. They got stripped accordingly.

What terms? WBC said Canelo could come in 155 but GGG doesnt have to they he comes in 160.

@antoniabuffy under our rules, Canelo can weight 155 and GGG 160, we have no problem as long as it is within the MW range. All the best!

really disappointed in what canelo turned out to be

middleweight champion whos never fought at middleweight was bad enough.... 155 catch weight shameful enough... now he's fighting amir khan... sad

exposed him? didn't most people have murray winning and murray was moving up in weight. how was he exposed? also abraham prob loses to that ramirez guy so maybe ramirez will expose abraham and then ggg will expose ramirez?

I don't think the sanctioning bodies get involved in the 'catchweight' bull****, it's an agreement between the fighters.
