Canelo is still Lineal/Ring champ at middleweight

[Larry the boss]

No hes not a lineal champion loses his status when he retires, dies, or leaves the division. Is Canelo fighting at 160? No, so it is vacant now until GGG faces the #2 and a new lineal will be established. Just like when Pac moved up and left the division the lineal status became vacant again.

sorry man 155=middleweight..160 is just the limit....

[Larry the boss]

Yes, he's still the lineal champion at MW as recognized by TBRB, RING, and CBZ.

Truth^^^^^ and thats his leverage as im sure GGG wants the Ring/Lineal titles plus he wants that payday

Exactly the limit 154.1-160. Caneloweight is 154.1-155. If the opponent cant come in the limit then its not MW.

[SilverMiles]

GGG is the 160lb champion. Canelo is a red head fraud whose body isnt ready. Stop trying to put extra weight on the young man's shoulders.

[joesaiditstrue]

Proves how irrelevant that "title" is now, doesn't it Larry?

You can duck and dodge and still be champ and you defend it

Lol

[Sun_Tzu]

Doesnt mean shiet though and even the people trying to defend him know it. He just conceded the MW championship to Golovkin with 6 days to go in negotiations before the purse bid. He has no leverage and Golovkin should walk away and let the coward continue beating up on Welterweights. Im astounded Canelo and GBP think this was the way to go..what a flop.

[mike1010011]

Who cares? Never fought a Middlewieght,and now dropped the green strap. All he's got left are empty titles.

[Larry the boss]

Please dont misunderstand me,IT'S A B1TCH MOVE BY CANELO AND GOLDENBOY.......but now he can't be forced to fight anyone period
