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

[BrometheusBob.]

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.

I'm just asking for consistency. Canelo asking for 155 is bs, GGG asking for 164 was bs. GGG not compromising on weight isn't any better or worse than Ward not compromising on weight.

This catchweight stuff is so confusing

[Jubei]

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.

GGG won't agree on any weight below 160 for the WBC title. Principles and he doesn't want a Diva like Canelo to change the sport. If he would agree to 155, Oscar would make a contract that GGG has to pay $2 million dollars for every pound he weighs over 155.

What a coward

That title excuse is invalid, he sold the right to use that excuse when he accepted step aside fee.

Mando accepting a step aside fee means the champ doesn't have to defend the belt at the proper weight? What will this idiot think of next?

[Dean_Razorback]

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


Yeah, me neither.

didn't he call out floyd at a 160 lbs "we meet in the middle" kinda deal? lol

That's exactly what it means, he doesn't have to defend it against Golovkin at any weight. Atleast until after the Khan fight.

We're talking about when they do fight. I (and Jubei) am not asking Canelo to sign the fight now and fight him before Khan. I'm talking about what weight they should agree to after Khan, assuming he wins. That weight should be 160 and GGG having accepted step aside fees in the past is irrelevant. I know you can keep up with the conversation if you try.

and Floyd had no problem at 154 for Oscar and Cotto, but demanded 152 for Canelo
