Canelo reluctant to fight at 160 - Please Explain

[1hourRun]

Hes sending you casuals and hardcores a message but you all still dont understand.....he dont need sanctioning bodies or too abide with standards that the average boxers adheres to - Canelo is in his own league, get on his level or kick rocks.

[BattlingNelson]

Good question. When he enters the ring he is a massive middleweight. Why doesn't he want to fight at a level playingfield? I don't understand either. Surely it's not because he knows he will lose to GGG?

Describes OP perfectly.

[UNBIASED BOXING]

Canelo has never weighed 175 on fight night. I think he hit 172 once which is what other big 154 pounders like Trout weigh on fight night. Why he won't go to 160 is a mystery only he knows. It's only 5 pounds over his preferred weight of 155. Five pounds isn't that much. It's a big meal and giant coke. He usually weighs about the same as GGG on fight night so GGG hyas no size advantage.

Canelo vs Lara - 171
Canelo vs Angulo - 174
Canelo vs Trout - 172

No weigh-in, but it's easy to see that:
Canelo vs Kirkland - 170~
Canelo vs Khan - 170~
Canelo vs Cotto - 170~

He stopped weighing-in on fight night probably to hide the fact that he weighs more than GGG/about the same.
