If Canelo weighs 155 then 180 fight night is he not a natural middleweight? GGG fans have nothing to do with math and logic. He is fighting light heavy bring back same day of fight weigh ins weed out fakes

What's your point?? Ggg weighed 172 30 days before his fight with Murray. Canelo weighed 167 against Cotto is 30 days. He has a new nutritionist and doesnt eat all the junk food like he used to. Hence he looks a lot more leaner then pudgy like he used. FYI Khan weighs more then Canelo right now.

Outside of Floyd, pac ALL fighters weigh 12-20 lbs more then they fight at usually.

Never! Dude making sht up. A few times he weighed 172. Now he weighs around 165.

They can't change everyone's perception of this fight, but they are trying hard.

Khan has everything to gain and not much to lose here, we all expect to him get stopped, and we're probably all correct.

On the flip- if Canelo doesn't find a way to stop Khan... Then it'll be a lot of questions and head scratching. We would have to reassess Canelo a little bit.

All it takes is one of those Canelo's moments and that fool is going down.

You nailed it. Khan can dart in and out for 11.5 rounds but if Canelo puts a one two combo on his chin and temple Khan will lose his head and Canelo is a brilliant finisher.

Put is this way, if Canelo could lay hands on Lara who has better footwork than Khan and Algieri could lay hands on Khan - then there is no way in hell that Khan avoids heavy shots during the whole 12 rounds.

Unlike most people who think that Khan's best chance to win is to stick and move for 12 rounds, for the reasons I gave above I think the only way for Khan to win this is KO Canelo and that is highly unlikely as Khan will be too reticent about getting countered if he flurries on Canelo.

Maybe there is one other way for Khan to win and that is if Canelo comes in super dehydrated and just loses all ability to catch up with Khan.

I dont think anyone is ripping Khan for taking this fight the guy is realy showing some balls. People are ripping Canelo/Golden Boy for taking this fight.

Freddie Roach said he estimated Canelo rehydrated up to around 170-172. And I'll take his word with BEING there over anyone else. He's a trainer with a GREAT eye. Remember he's the one who noticed Oscar with the IV marks in his arm..

GGG weighed 170 against Monroe and 173 against Rubio.

[bronx7]

So 172 is ok that's not a middleweight? 160 is middleweight when Robinson hagler weighed in fight day were they 175? Your a joke next time I will keep exact link and night of fight they show you rehydrate weight
