Is Canelo just a blown up Welterweight?

I disagree. You're talking about Rios, who's notorious for being overweight, then cutting lots of weight and showing up the fight unhealthy. His weight distribution goes:
Extremely Heavy->Cut to Weight->Heavy and Unhealthy. In numbers, it goes 180->147->160:
Rios' heaviest rehydration weight is recorded as 163. I think we can all agree that Rios definitely looks unhealthy during the fight. He was walking around "170-180" in 2012.. so let's say he's at 180 now.

Canelo's different. His weight distribution goes:
Heavy->Cut to Weight->Heavy, in numbers we can estimate it's 180->155->175
According to a 2014 interview, his walk around weight was 170.. let's say it's 180 now. Rehydration I think we can all agree on 174-176 being his range.
And I don't think there's a shadow of a doubt that he looks ok fighting. He went 12 rounds with Cotto and did not gas.

You have a theory that Canelo's in poor shape and has bad ethic. I have not seen any proof of that theory.

Err.. No. Interview with Roach as he was training Cotto? That is no reliable source by any means.

Comparing Canelo to Chavez is a joke. Chavez has missed weight multiple times and has become a joke for 'put down the tacos'. Canelo has the exact opposite problem - he's being trolled for cutting too much weight and he has never missed weight.

I sent you another link (pm) before the lara fight and yeah Canelo did miss weight before his first title defense.
