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

He's basically saying he's not a middleweight...sounds like he's going to relinquish the title. Cotto just stepped in to take advantage of a broken-down Martinez and Canelo stepped in to take advantage of a broken-down too small Cotto.

I think Canelo is going to drop the belt. I dint think he wants to fight him period.

What Cotto was doing wasn't right, but in reality it was obvious the guy was too small. In Canelo's case he's been fighting at 154 since he was an adult and is clearly growing into a real Middleweight. He was way bigger than Cotto, bigger than Lara, and Trout. He doesn't even fight at 154. If he fights someone not names Golovkin or Mayweather in his next fight there's a problem.

he's sticking it to GGG. i love it.

Not sure about that. All PPV main events are for a championship belt. A fight for no belt has no business being PPV.

A lot of fights have no business being PPVs. You're right though, most PPVs are championship fights. In Cotto vs. Canelo, neither was a champion @ MW, yet the WBC sanctioned it as a "Middleweight Championship Fight," even though it was @ 155. There's the problem!

You think he pulls off a Bowe?

[Weltschmerz]

Why not face GGG at the full weight, Canelo probably even outweighs him on the night.

Ya but I don't think it will really affect him because he'll continue fighting at 155. Which in in his mind and his fans' minds is different than actual middleweight. It won't really look like a duck, just a guy fighting at a different weight class lol.

Canelo is struggling to make 155, but he is doing it so that he has an excuse not to face GGG

This is why he trains wearing bin bags

If Khan has a brain he'd attack Nelos body
