Wow, so that outstanding young champion Canelo is fighting for yet another world title?
I am sure that will impress all of the " mando doe " fans, who heavily rely upon ABC rankings to evaluate their guys opposition.
Is a champion ranked higher than a #1 contender ?
Pretty sure they are from memory
And he can also have Charlo the WBC champ whenever he wants him.
Wow, what an outstanding young man, he really does have the world at his feet.

How many champions has Canelo beaten now ? ..... I'm losing count ?Comment

The problem is fans want to see a fight so bad they ignore the realities of the sport.
Canelo is not the first guy to fight at one weight and rehydrate 2 or three weight classes on fight night.
Hell, most fighters do.
For example, even as a featherweight Pacquiao regularly rehydrated to welterweight. Yet, while he was doing so no one called Manny a coward for not fighting 147 pound guys...and eventually he did move up.
Well, so will Canelo.
When he is good and damned ready.
If the man says he is a junior middleweight, makes the weight, and fights other fighters at that weight then my guess is that is exactly what he is.
Even if some fanboys want him to be something else.Comment

Yes and casually forgetting that Canelo said he was ready for GGG, invited GGG into the ring with him, said Mexicans dont mess around (strongly suggesting that he would fight GGG next). Only for him to relinquish the belt and drop back down in weight. He played mind games with team GGG in order to try and keep the middleweight belts and team GGG called his bluff. It's a duck regardless of how you try and spin itComment

Canelo and his team seem to forget that they had the Angulo @154 and Canelo couldn't make weight.
They paid Team Angulo $100k to change the limit to 155, since then Canelo never fought at 154.

MGM Grand, Las Vegas - Many were caught off-guard at Friday's weigh-in, when the fight between former WBC/WBA junior middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-1-1, 30KOs) and Alfredo "Perro" Angulo (22-3, 18KOs) was announced as having a max weight of 155-pounds. Based on what BoxingScene.com was told, Canelo and his handlers made everyone aware on Friday morning that a weight issue existed, and he required a higher max. The two sides negotiated a deal for 155-pounds. Angulo reportedly received $100,000 dollars for the increase, as the Nevada State Athletic Commission now has him listed as making $850,000 [up from a previous Thursday figure of $750,000].
MGM Grand, Las Vegas - Virgil Hunter, the trainer of Alfredo "Perro" Angulo (22-3, 18KOs), was disappointed that former WBC/WBA junior middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-1-1, 30KOs) was unable to make the contracted weight of 154-pounds. Earlier today, the fighters reached an agreement for a max weight of 155-pounds, after Canelo realized this morning that he wouldn't be able to make 154 - and Angulo received $100,000 for the new weight limit, raising his purse to $850,000. Canelo weighed in at the 155 max, with Angulo coming in at 154.5. There will be a secondary weigh-in on Saturday morning, when neither fighter will be able to weigh more than 168-pounds.Comment
