hold on.....
1) Canelo dropped the middleweight belt, and confirmed he is a JMW.....
2) Loeffler said this just over a year ago.....
Loeffler said that Golovkin would have no problem fighting at a catchweight against Alvarez, who fought Lara in a 155-pound bout.
“We’ve always said that if there is a compelling fight, Gennady would move up or down, we’ve talked about moving up to 168 for Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. because that would be a pay-per-view fight and if it’s Canelo, then I’m sure that we could work out a catchweight if he wanted to work out a catchweight and if it’s in his best interest. So that would certainly be a pay-per-view fight,” said Loeffler.
“There wouldn’t be any issues for us to come down to fight Canelo. There would still be a title on the line for Gennady because he would be fighting under 160, so he would be able to defend the titles at 156 or whatever you have the weight be. But Gennady would be willing to come down in weight to fight Canelo. I wouldn’t say it would be at 154 but certainly, given that Canelo fought his last fight at 155, then you could say that Gennady would certainly be willing to come down in weight to make the Canelo fight.”
Q: so, why did they b1tch-out on the weight just over a year later ?
A: because fighting Canelo at 155 is a very dangerous fight, and Team Bull**** wanted EVERY possible advantage..... they assumed that Canelo would crack under the public pressure and the deadline from the WBC.
And in this video, GGG admits that he refused to budge on the weight.....
2:35
1) Canelo stated that he will fight at 155
2) Loeffler acknowledged that, and promised they would agree to a CW
3) When it came time to sign, GGG refused to budge on the weight
So, how could you possibly blame Canelo ?
