Bottom Line. Do you think GGG can beat Canelo at 155?

[ShoulderRoll]

Yes or no?

[-PBP-]

I don't believe he can make the weight healthy.

same here but what is GGG's average weigh when he rehydrates fight night?

[Buckfever]

The issue is that he eventually needs to move up and to drain himself for a middle weight title makes no sense.

[SterlingStained]

why not just do the right thing and fight at 160lbs?

id hate to see canelo beat GGG and he cant get full credit because it was at a catchweight.

why cant people just do the right thing nowadays?

there's always some bull**** attached to almost everything these days not just boxing.

canelo holds 160 lineal belt. he rehydrates to 170lbs on fight night.

just do the right thing canelo and fight at 160.

its the righteous mexican thing to do.

same here but what is GGG's average weigh when he rehydrates fight night?

He comes in consistently at 159.5 and rehydrates to 172. And he's shredded.

[Redd Foxx]

I think it's not only possible, but it's 50/50 at 155.

[-Kev-]

Well Canelo detractors say he is big and that he weighs 170 on fight, and that he is a MW. So if he's the same size as GGG, and Canelo can make 155, then why can't GGG make it if they are the same size? I mean that is rhetorical question, they are not actually the same type of weight. GGG is a lean muscle 160, Canelo would need to gain more muscle to get to 160 healthy(not bloated). When they weigh 170 on fight night, they are a different 170, Canelo has more water weight, Golovkin has more muscle.

Lately it has been 170lbs. It was 173 for Rubio, 170 against Monroe, for Lemieux he was 170 according to HBO commentators.

I agree that making 155 would handicap GGG to a 50/50 degree. I'm not sure how his body would handle the drain at this point.

hmmmm.

157lb catch weight sounds like a fair compromise for both sides.
