Comments Thread For: Canelo: While I'm at 155-Pounds, I'm Not Facing Anyone at 160

Great point! The sanctioning bodies should never have allowed this CW bullshit in the first place. They created weight classes to make sure no fighter has a weight advantage over another fighter. Then they turn around and allow catch weights, which creates an advantage by forcing someone to fight at a weight that is not their natural weight. Ridiculous!

Cotto vacated his WBC belt, still got to fight Canelo: $$$ Tyson Fury vacated his IBF belt, still going to fight a rematch with Klitschko: $$$. It's about the fighters and who is willing to pay to see the fight! The belt has not been as important since the PPV came in the game!

all thats going to happen is hes going to lose the belt but lets be honest all belts are paper belts these days with each org being comfortable with certain promoters and managers anyway. there are too many for any to be legit they are literally ornaments i personally just hope ggg bites the bullet calls his bluff and agrees to 155 so we can see the dam fight. But i totally get why canelo is saying no 155 or nothing i mean he is the A side by far and in his mind he did it for mayweather. oscar did it for manny etc etc. In reality its no different then ggg saying 164 for ward even tho people say its different cause of the belt if were being honest its literally exactly the same these are prize fighters the belts are literally ornaments in boxing these days unfortunately

Don't agree...boxing is steeped with great champions who's main goal is to become a world champion and win a world title belt ...without that belt there is no goal to be a champion and will just create more Fighters parading around as the the number 1 fighter in the world.....if canelo wants to fight at 155 and keep calling up smaller fighters that his choice and if his fans are foolish enough and pay good money for this there the biggest mugs...but it won't wash with any true boxing fan all over the world and the only ones that will support this are fanboys and mexican supporters of canelo....basically he's a fighter that cant make 154 but he lacks the power to compete against other middleweights and he knows it and that's why he is trying everything possible to not get exposed...divsions are divisions and all the greats of the past must shaking there heads or turning in there grave....basically the middleweight division is the oldest division in history..1860 it was created and here we have a fighter who is simply taking us all for ****s and becoming rich in the process.....it's totally wrong in every way what the mexican is doing and i guarantee you this will come back to haunt canelo he remains at 155...... Now we can see where the true intentions of De la hoya and hopkins belong ....Beyond words now..shocking really

if canelo's next fight isn't either a top JMW at 154 or a legit MW at 157+, he's going to look so bad

the kudos he earned for fighting lara has well and truly expired now

[Raimondo]

155, 156, 157, 158 and 159 are Canelo best weights.

Nelo will go to 160 when hes ready in 4-5 years but right now he is a 155 pound fighter. GGG needs to call out guys in his own division up at 160.

[Progrssive_Jedi]

He won the title at 155. So we should all consider it the 155 belt. It's not like he's fought at 160 before.

That's ******.

There is no 155 pound division!

[whoseyourdaddy]

You dumb f*** you see all this criticism and you say he is getting a pass? Wow!

Simply can't be defended anymore. At least, not with any level of intelligence.

GGG must actually have these dudes shook to death.

Middleweight division is any weight above 154 to 160 lbs, they are in the same division Canelo just abusing catch-weights like no other.
