So much misinformation here.

Canelo wouldn't be going up 5 lbs. Both fighters weigh almost the same in the ring, with Canelo being heavier. He can cut weight easier because he's 25. He won't look as skeletal during weigh on, that will be the only difference.

He didn't drop 4 lbs for Floyd. He dropped 2. And he did cry about it, and he still brings it up in every interview. Floyd was also significantly smaller man.


If you can't understand the difference between 2 lbs at age 23 against a smaller man and 5 lbs at age 34 against a bigger man, you're just a fanboy.

You should log off, and never post again !

Canelo purposely drops weight for the weigh in - so he can fake that he's not a middleweight

he would make 160 good and would not need to restrict his diet to fake that he's a 154er

so you're a mong

Link ?

I bet that sounded really good when you were thinking it

Totally agree. Cotto was outweighed as badly as Khan yet he outboxed Canelo. I actually scored it 6-5 for Cotto with 1 swing round but either way it was a close fight against an opponent 15-20 pounds heavier and that in itself was an accomplishment.

The best quote of the night was when he told Sanchez he could come in the ring a feel his balls. And he would probably like it.

GGG said he would go down to 154 for Floyd. His OWN words. I thought GGG was a tini, tiny MW??? He comes in his fight over 170.

You're right about the the two pounds, he had to drop to face Floyd. Still, sissy Floyd did not ask the more experienced and accomplished Cotto to come in below 154. Canelo did, in order to make the fight happen.

Canelo can still make S.welterweight, so he is a SWW. If he comes in at 170 fight night, after tipping the scales at 154 the day b4, that doesn't make him a Light Heavy, does it? He's fighting at MD, correct, so? he is not obligated to fight at 160.

You don't seem to understand who is on the drivers seat. Hopkins at 39 years of age, over 10 years holding the MW championship, on his 19 (or so) defense against ODLH, agreed to come in at 157, and came in at 156. Canelo is certainly not Oscar, but GGG is a long way from being BHop.

Make no mistake, GGG will cut down the weight 2 or 3 pounds. He can't afford not to. Canelo can always go back to SWW and fight 1 or 2 fights and he will do well. GGG at 34, can't wait one more year.

If you can't understand how the boxing business works, then I can't help you. Mark my words, GGG will give up 2 or 3 pounds or no fight. That's the way it is.

Now it's time for him to fight a guy that is almost as big as him. Will he do it or will he try to fight somebody like 145 Pacquiao instead? Either way I'll watch it.

I'm pretty sure Pacquiao isn't going to un-retire to face Canelo. Despite the money he could stand to make, it's the weight issue that will ultimately be the roadblock to this bout. Roach already said that they will only accept a Canelo fight at 155 if there's a rehydration clause of no more than 10 lbs. Not happening. Canelo will probably be too dehydrated to put up any kind of fight, & his trainer knows it. Canelo can only go up to 165 when he's rumored to hit 175+ on fight night?...Canelo will never go for that. A Pacquiao bout is a dead-end road.

#1, people will believe Canelo is a 154 fighter when he fights at 154. Truth is, he hasn't fought at 154 in 3 years. And you don't get smaller as you age. If he could still make 154, he would have by now...the only logical conclusion is that he can't melt down that extra 1 lb. The Khan fight should have been at 154 if Canelo wanted to show the world that he's too small for GGG...but they chose 155. The guy can't make 154 anymore. It makes more sense that he never goes back to 154. Put up or shut up...he's not a MW?...then go back to 154. Of course, the inevitable path is he'll have to fight at 160 eventually. You only gain more weight as you age...you don't get smaller. The guy is a MW right now...his insistence of the contrary appears to only be a move to save face.

& #2, if the GGG/Canelo fight is happening in 2016, it will be fought at 160. There's nothing to suggest that GGG's team are any less willing to come off that number. A purse bid would be more likely...and if that happens, the fight is definitely happening, & at 160. The only way Canelo can avoid the purse bid (besides actually negotiating a fight behind closed doors), is if he vacates. At that point, GGG will have the belt & will have even more power in any subsequent negotiations. Canelo & GBP's advantage at the negotiating has never been stronger than it is now. What's the harm in taking it at 160 when they would enjoy pretty much every other advantage possible in negotiations?...That's just 5 lbs less weight Canelo will have to cut...wouldn't that be better for Canelo's health?

And GBP can't use the excuse of money for not making the GGG fight because the biggest money grab available to them right now is GGG. It's good for money & it's good for the sport...why are anybody making excuses for the fight not to happen?
