I don't take these belts very seriously so I can't say I'm very invested in who's got or doesn't got a belt. So nah its not gonna matter all that much. What he did instead of GGG would matter. If he's fighting a 155lb Victor Ortiz or something instead of GGG that'd be f#cked up. Hell him fighting Khan now instead of GGG is f#cked up.
I've never really badmouthed Canelo in the past because he took fights I didn't think he would, but ever since he got into Canelo weight, he's lost tons of respect from me...It's getting worse now...
If he's not going to fight GGG now he should vacate. He can still campaign at MW and work his way towards that fight down the road, but you just don't hold the belt hostage if you're not going to defend it.
Canelo doesn't fight at 160. Why would anyone disown him because a group of Lil G fans trying to force him to fight at 160. He weighed in at 154.5 for Kirkland, and 155 for Cotto. Last time I checked it was 5 lbs removed from 160. Lil G can fight Matthew's or Maclin or Lee or some C tier fighter for a vacant title and his fans can have a circle jerk. That's their choice, no need to involve Canelo in that mess imo.
I hope he does vacate the belt.
His first fight 5 lbs above a weight he's NEVER fought is not gonna be against Lil G. Wake up now, you're not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy.
I cut him some slack because he's essentially fighting at LMW. He hasn't fought a single MW.
He should make weight though, 154.
Do you honestly think he can make 154? I think he can barely make 155 and is killing himself to do so. Gotta be a reason he's been fighting strictly at 155 last two years.
