Understanding weight. 154, 155, 157....

[djt117]

It doesn't even matter which guy is bigger or smaller. It's all about age. You can cut a LOT more weight and still be OK after it doing so when you're in your 20s. That's why Canelo used to be able to make 154 and rehydrate to 172 and fight well. He's young.

A 34 year-old's body is not going to tolerate that well AT ALL, Canelo's team knows it (hell every boxer in the world knows that)

... and so I guarantee you if Canelo and his team even have the nuts to take the fight, it'll be 155 or GTFOH because they know that Canelo's chances substantially improve if can fight a guy who is going to feel very weak and sluggish in the ring, because his body won't recover like that of a young man within the 30 hour span between weigh-in and the opening bell.

Yeah we heard it all before. Pac should've fought Floyd in 2010. 6+ years everybody agrees Top Rank failed with it.

Therefore, people will still say that Lil'G never came to Alvarez's demands if supposedly 154-168 was easy! All on tape forever!

But don'T worry, the voluntary defense to make Money off Khan will end soon entitled to a new title or lineal holder is justified. The mandatory everyone is crying about is yet to come or be announced.

Canelo or no Canelo that belt will go to GGG If the coward doesn't man up and face his fears a bit like Ward needed to do i.e. man up come down to 160lbs If he wanted it so much but obviously Ward was living off of the history of something that happened 5/6 years ago.

Ward? lol ''Ward too much for me...just...he's great champion..just..'' - Lil'G (2013)

Ward "168 or no fight"
He ducked it surely because Ward had nothing to offer you can't win a SMW title at 172lbs.

Why is it such a big deal? I mean, it's only 5 pounds from 155 to 160. (Using Canelo/golovkin as an example) why is everybody so up in arms about a few pounds and what is the importance of it?

It's not 5 pounds. It's really 15-20 pounds. A middleweight typically comes into the ring between 170-175. Their body is used to cutting down to 160 because normally a trainer will tell you to fight at the minimum weight that your body can handle.

So cutting down to 173 to 160 is already a chore. Now they are asking you to cut an additional 5 pounds? That's a lot.

lol. Ward.

[M Bison]

lol. Ward.

Lil Ward scared of the man down at 160 so bad, Ward is a massive let down to the real African American men in boxing.

[BrometheusBob.]

Canelo is likely naturally bigger than GGG. Just an observation.

I wonder what weight Canelito will be at when he reaches GGG's age

yup! Ward scared of the man down at 160. That's why he's at LHW getting ready for Kovalev! lol

funny thing are the subtextual messages from posters like you saying, ''Ward is a massive let down to the real African American men in boxing'' to bait a racial debate... I don't even go that low to bait race debates. I leave that to the insecure posters! But regarding your last statement, just remember Ward's at LHW. You can stick to your poster boy. My poster boy got a better record than yours and he's bigger, literally..

Well, you're willing to go to 154 if you have the advantage and 164 when you have the advantage. But you won't go to 155 for certain fighters or 168 for other certain fighters because you will lose and the media creation is over.


That's how it works. All the whilst it's called trying to unify the MW titles, you know, "integrity."

Also if you can beg you way into a fight with Cotto or Hopkins in the meantime, so be it.
