Canelo actually asked for 156 lb to fight Cotto, while Cotto wanted 155

[Jubei]

Alot of people didnt even know that and its so funny that Team Canelo is claiming that Cotto forced them to fight over 154 and now they say Khan wants to fight at 155 while Canelo is not really a middleweight.

El otro tema que hasta el momento se sigue tratando es acerca del peso. Los dos están de acuerdo en que no necesitan ir hasta las 160 libras, debido a que ni uno es un peso medio natural, pero hay una libra de diferencia. Cotto quiere 155 libras, pero Canelo prefiere 156 libras. Están en el estira y afloja.

Translation
The other issue that so far still trying weight is about. Both agree they do not need to go to 160 pounds, because neither one is a natural middleweight, but there is a difference pound. Cotto wants 155 pounds, but Canelo prefer 156 pounds. They are in the tug of war.

Yeah, we already knew this... I made a thread on this a while ago. Hilarious this coward. They will offer GGG 157 though. GGG will say no.

Yeah I think GGG has principles, he might meet Canelo in the middle next year after Canelo gave him the belt.

So Canelo conceded weight to get the fight done? Something Lil' Gina won't do.

He's shrunk since then, in testicles with this mando loomin

Remember how willing Andre Ward was to concede weight to get a fight done?


Yeah, me neither.

Lil' Gina had no problem fighting at 168 for anyone not named Ward. Weight wasn't a problem for Lil' Gina it was the skill level.

[SterlingStained]

GGG should just accept any weight canelo asked of him then just come in at 160 and call canelo's bluff.

if canelo cancels the fight because his opponent weighed in at the legal 160lb limit, that's on him.

the media will crucify him and brand him a coward.

ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BORDER.

168 for a huge PPV fight. Not a fraudster with zero fans and Diva demands.

Lil' Gina is a businessman not a fighter then?
