Is Canelo just a blown up Welterweight?

[Chuckguy]

Absolutely not. Alvarez couldn't make 150 healthy if his life depended on it, let alone welterweight. He's a full-blown middleweight that drains himself down to 155.

Height is never a good way to determine how much someone should weight. There are lightweights as tall as Tyson.

Look at Chico corrales he was tall for a lw

Absolutely NOT! Canelo is a Middleweight draining down to 155 because GGG is at 160

What Welterweight do you know re hydrate up to 180?

And he was like 19 back then.

Why are people saying Canelo is 5'7"?

googling most results say 5'9

Just look at Canelo's neck and you'll know he is a stocky type of man.

Lemiux who is what? 5'9" has difficulty making the 160lbs limit.

Because boxing fans tend to be the most ****** people around probably and can't even google or use their heads.

Let me first say I am not a Canelo fan. So with that out of the way, I love the strength and conditioning aspect of boxing. Canelo is 5'7", sure he has a big frame but I think a properly trained and dedicated Canelo would/should barely becoming into his own at Jr. MW right now in his career. I look at boxings elite and they don't blow-up between camps, they stay in the gym (cardio freaks of nature), and their trainers are not scarfing down tacos in front of their fighters during training camp. Makes me wonder how dedicated Canelo and his team really are to training. Can't really blame anyone but Canelo and his team for biting off more than they can chew for fighting at MW way to early in his career. Personally a dedicated Canelo Alvarez should only be fighting at MW in the twilight of his career not at 25. MW's are big men, most are around 5'10" with just as big a frame as Canelo, difference is guys like GGG stay in the gym, fight often and dont let themselves go. Thoughts?

I hope Sammy Vasquez fights Canelo in a few years. That would be a blood bath war!

[80sboxingrules]

yes been saying it for long time

IDK man look at Tim Bradley, his back is probably the same size as Canelos, difference is Tim stays dedicated between camps, dudes a gym rat, he may gain a lot of weight too but the difference is Tim's weight is muscle.

OH so he loses all his muscle then puts it all back on after the fight? 😂😂😂
