I agree, so sad that ggg was willing to face GGG at a catchweight like he was willing to face rosado at a catchweight, or else it could have been GGG getting that ass whooped in their instead of poor liam smith.

Why do people keep citing these "sources" like they are the truth, set in stone, the law? It's not like they are peer reviewed journal articles! I'm sure there are some other "source" out there that says the opposite......just like peer reviewed literature!

ggg him self was on a espn show the week after they signed for brook, and he was asked about canelo and the fight not happening because of the weight , ggg clearly stated that the fight has to happen at 160... this all came after his own promoter said " we will make a CW for canelo if he vacates the wbc belt"...

I got it man, my point is, its all "he said, she said" in this business! They all back pedal and contradict themselves all the time.

Oscar, just don't ask for a 156 CW or something, please. A zombie Golovkin is not what people want to see. Canelo outweights him already, let it be a 160. I hope Golovkin doesn't take this fight at a CW since it would not be fair. Move on Gennady...

You afraid GGG would get hurt below 160?

Edit: But I agree, they should fgiht @160 I honestly think Alvarez will be a better fighter at the full 160 and it would make the best competitive match between both of them.

If Canelo who yyou say is bigger can make 154 or 156 shouldn't tiny GGG be able to??? I mean you GTards say he's a SMALL Flyweight who fights HUGE Heavyweights all the time.

At 34 your body will have more trouble taking off weight than at 25.

In fact that's why they were wanting to drain GGG. You know this.

*** even 5' 7" Canelo is a small MW. Most MW's are close to 6'

Only shiiiit, you can't be serious.

When did we start have height division.

I could have swore these were weight classes.

By the way, Canelo is listed at 5'9. In boxing publications and police record.

He also is heavier and gas more reach than GGG does.

Fishnet is taking nonsense. How is canelita a 154 if she barely can make it , she literraly had to take her panties off just to squeeze into it. They better weight her today..

Look at the weight in, smith is slightly taller but if you look at canelita you can squeeze two liam smitsh into her

Fact: If you make the limit then you made it..

If you make 154 by an ounce then you fighting as a Jr. Mw.

Vin Diesel would say it best "It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning"

Why the **** should GGG let himself be drained.

Canelo and fans complained about having to come down to pounds for the much much lighter Floyd.

Canelo walks into that ring heavy, what the hell does he need to drain GGG for?

Wait, never the **** mind, I get it, you get it, we all I Get it:

Canelo has no ****ing shot to beat a prime GGG unless he manages to drain him.

Guess what, it's not ****ing happening. Canelo can't escape GGG, he can't fight without it being overshadowed by GGG.

K2 has masterfully cornored the face of boxing into fighting him or constantly having to be tokd your a duck.

Ok, let me get this straight, and I quote you "Why the **** should GGG let himself be drained" I read a lot of your post and you are "of the people" who think Canelo is bigger and ballons up a ton more than GGG according to themselves

So according to what you saying, if Canelo is so much bigger than GGG and can make 154, then GGG would make 154 so much easier right? because GGG is smaller than Canelo. right? Then what is the problem?

On a sidenote, I already said it numerous times, Canelo ducked GGG, and he looked like a coward, don't make mistake, and I put it at the end of my post, Canelo vs GGG needs to happen @ the full 160. but let's be honest, answer this.

Do you think Golovkin would crush Canelo @154? just want to know your sincerely opinion.
