Is Canelo just a blown up Welterweight?

[Santa_]

Canelo was a teenager the last time he fought at welterweight.

lol, ok you got me on the height cobra but I really meant if the guy trained harder and didnt blow up so big between camps, hed be able to make a smaller weight. Canelo wouldve been a terror at WW and a really good Jr. MW at this point of his career. Now he bit off more than he can chew. Theres a reason why Canelo comes in bigger than GGG does come fight at when he weighs in at 155 and the difference is GGG trains and fights consistently, had Canelo had the same mindset, hed be fighting at Jr. MW right now without a problem.

So much nonsense...If he could still make Jr MW he would be fighting at that weight. He physically cant make that weight anymore because he is a full blown middleweight!

You started off with a height argument but quickly back tracked when several posters provided you with evidence as to why Canelo is not short for the weight. Anything to try and deflect from Canelo avoiding GGG lol.

Look at Canelo vs Mayweather at 152, look at how gaunt he looked in the weight-in. Canelo was 23 when he fought Mayweather, his frame has grown even more since that fight, he's a full blown middleweight

[Shrap]

Canelo is 5'7"

5'9"

Canelo who if I am not mistaken has about a 69inch reach.

70 1/2"

Let me first say I am not a Canelo fan.

Then why lie and understate his measurements intentionally to make him seem smaller than he is?

If light middle never existed, Canelo would have been either a weight drained welter or a short, fat middle. Either way, he would have gotten KOd.

No hate, he's a blown up flyweight, heard he fought there? Knocking that dudes teeth

Canelo grew from a 5'7" teenager into a 5'9" middleweight who barely looks smaller next to Bhop, and now he's shrunken back to 5'7", weltweight

I think this thread is pretty bizarre tbh. He knows he can't even make JMW comfortably anymore.

I think people misunderstood my thread as an excuse for Canelo, the ****en point is the dude has a terrible ****en work ethic. I know he ****en blows up after weigh in no ****, but if he trained right all year and was more active that **** wouldnt happen. As a reference to his height, hes a short ****en mw. Damn mf'ers on here run with ****.

He doesn't have a terrible work ethic at all, and I don't understand why you have that impression. The guy is lean, cut, and built like a wall. He is pushing his body to the very limit to make 155. The reason he blows up so much on fight night is because he is too damn big for even junior middleweight.

The idea that he could work harder and make 147 just isn't the least bit true. If he worked any harder to cut any more weight he wouldn't be able to actually get in the ring and fight.

Montell Griffin was a 5'7 career light heavyweight and beat prime Roy Jones & James Toney.

Canelo has a big frame. Looked 30 pounds bigger than Khan.
