The middleweight limit is 160. The weight class is from 155-160. You can fight in the middleweight division as long as you don't weigh MORE than 160 at weigh in but there is no minimum weight. I wish that weigh ins were conducted on the day of the fight the way they used to be. That would put an end to this abuse of the system by GBP and Canelo's team.
It's not about the CW so much, but more that Canelo is making the first defense of his title against Amir Khan. AMIR FUCKING KHAN!! I mean, nobody else would give him a shot at their title & the only reason That Canelo is doing it, is because he knows he'll damn near kill the man. Khan is a known name, but not one of prestige. His infamous weak chin and constant self-edification, have served to make him a laughing stock.
Sad tho that for the cotto fight all the weight advantage, combinations, power punches and he couldn't take cotto out. Mind you cotto didn't put any significant amount of weight back on and he is a shell of his former self... So for ginger to not be able to ko cotto... I dunno his power is definetly overrated.. Next he will be talking about staying at middle weight but coming in at 210 so he can get an advantage smh lol
Also I didn't like how khan use to talk s*** before fights... But I gotta give it to him stepping up to ginger.. That's what it should be about you fighting challenges u can or cannot overcome. Back in the hagler Duran eras everybody was fighting everybody for the most part... Alexis arguello moved up after cleaning lower divisions to fight Pryor, and still took the rematch knowing he wasn't gonna win.. Now u have sorry excuses on purses, weight and everything to not make fights. Also you gotta have 30 cab drivers on your resume before you fight a top 10 contender.. Sad boxing days..
