It's gonna take its toll on his body more than they realize by fighting at that weight class. Yeah he can make it, but when you're constantly rehydrating 17-20 come fight night, it's a sign your body is needing to replenish too much. Just give up the belt and it's whatever.
I thought the same thing. People used to give manny flack for winning a vacant title at 150, but Alvarez truly invented a whole new weightclass for himself.
Critics targeted Cotto, but I always said Cotto would actually fight GGG if he had received the Canelo decision, as long as the Mayweather fight didn't come through. I knew Canelo wouldn't do it until the time was "right." lol
I'd honestly would have more respect if they just said "we don't want to fight GGG, we feel it's a very dangerous fight right now but we'll wait it out to see if he goes downhill, it's business at the end of the day"
If you don't want to fight at 160, then drop the belt and go back to 154.
I have no doubt that Canelo would be fighting at 160 now if GGG didn't exist.
