Comments Thread For: Golden Boy VP: Canelo is 154-Pounder, No 160 For Golovkin

[aboutfkntime]

Pacquiao dumped the belt and said he would never fight there again

Nice try doe.

Team Pacquiao (Michael Koncz) publicly admitted BEFORE the Margarito fight that they never intended to defend that title.

It was a beyond-lame attempt to grab another bull**** title..... Pac does not even qualify as a paper champ at JMW.

Not only did Pac win a vacant belt and never defend it, and not only did he never fight a JMW champion..... he never even fought a JMW.

Which is EXACTLY what Canelo did, he never fought a middleweight.

Difference being, Cotto is a great fighter, and cheato is a bum.

You should change the subject

What does any of that have to do with Canelo defending his title against Khan?

They should've dumped the belt after the Cotto fight then, he CHOSE to defend it. Should've done so against proper competition i.e. a MW

They need to work on their PR. I don't think it is a good sign when different people in a company make conflicting statements as it shows they're not on the same wave length. Just the other day, Oscar was talking about weight not being relevant.

He is a champion. Not just the WBC Champion, but the lineal-title champion.
Once you are a champion in your division, you get no excuses or bull****, "tune-ups" to avoid fighting someone in that same division.

See here's the problem, Canelo hasn't fought at the division limit (160) before, he's a 154 fighter. If you can't understand this simple explanation, I don't know what else to tell you.

His 154 now????

That is his choice because he created his own weight class. He blows up to over 170 lbs on fight night. So why exactly doesn't he fight at MW or stay at JMW and fight at 154? Why 155? Who or what is he trying to avoid?

[torosboxing75]

The only reason Canelo isn't fighting at 160 right now is because of GGG. The guy can't even make 154 but he isn't a 160lbs fighter? this guys just flat out scared of GGG. I guess they'll just wait till GGG gets older and shows signs of weakness or they'll drain him down and fight a shell of GGG.

You know if GGG wasn't in the picture at 160, Canelo would be fighting there right now.

Nothing, who mentioned Khan ?

You tried to make excuses for Pacquiao's bull**** paper-title at JMW.

I pointed out that it is exactly the same as Canelo's bull**** MW strap.
