Comments Thread For: Canelo: The Fight is at 155, Why So Much Concern About 160?

What an embarrassment to the sport.

The new face of boxing....

Canelo trying to play dumb lol.

Idk why people get so worked up about this. Middleweight MAX LIMIT IS 160. It doesn't state anywhere in the rulebook you must fight at 160- again, AT A MAX OF 160 but you're able to fight below if you wish to. Dont get me wrong, it sucks for guys like GGG, but the fact are that canelo is doing nothing wrong. Like Floyd once said, moving up in weight it's a process that shouldn't be rushed. Your body will let you know when you're ready. Truth it, the WBC need to step in and enforced 160 Max or be stripped. Until then get of canelo's d.ick

Yeah if anything fighting at 155 benefited Cotto and Khab more than Canelo. Now asking a fighter to come down to 155 is different.

Business wise I think he's saying ggg at 155 is more about a money negotiations tool. Ggg gonna have to give up more $$$$ for every Pound above 155. If GGG insists in getting 50/50 and 160 he's a ******. And I'll blame him for the fight not happening. But if Canelo stay at 155 and rips him off in the money I'll blame Canelo.

I would say every Pound is worth about 5% Of the Split.

155lbs 50/50 split or at worse 55-45.
160lbs 70/30.

Ggg can take it or leave it...Which would be fair.


No one knows GGG outside die hards fans Or his trainer and promotor.

A LOT of fans know Golden Boy and Hopkins and Canelo.

Smh @ guys defending this BS coming out his mouth.....

[Shadoww702]

Why? Because the last two people to hold this belt absolutely refuse to defend it without strings attached. I'm not against catch weights but every f'ing fight cannot be a catch weight. The public would've murdered Pacquaio and Floyd for trying to pull this nonsense nonstop. Even if he vacates his next fight will be at 155lb almost guaranteed.

How do you know it's not about the $$$$.

GGG highest payout was just $2 million. And I believe he only made over a $1 Million two times.

Also only one fighters EVER made over a $1 million dollars against him. The rest average WELL below market value. Most don't even see 100K I believe. Wade I heard haf to take a taxi to the fight conference and GGG paid the taxi driver..

Sad how far Canelo fell in fans eyes. I never liked him but never thought he would do this.

Catchweight king at it again

[hitking]

Canelo's resume makes him the top jr middleweight in the world. Resume trumps belts.

I got an easy way to clear up thia lil Canelo-GGG weight debate. They both have fights coming up. Whoever's fight generates more revenue is the A-side, and gets top pick the weight.

Super fcuking dumb. There's an easier way, if you have a MW belt, you fight at 160
