Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Canelo is at 154, GGG is at 160 - It Will Happen in 2017

[TRTboy]

I guarantee Canelo will be fighting at a catchweight on his next fight. The guy is getting naked to make weight lol. He's struggling and I don't think he can or wants to keep doing that.

So de la Hoya needs Golovkins name to promote his funy fight.

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?

The problem is that the belt they will be fighting for is the MW belt. If Canelo agreed to fight at 160, the MW belt is for 160 doesn't it make sense to fight at 160? When he fought Angulo it was at 154 but he couldn't make weight so they paid Angulo 100k to bump up the weight by 1lb. On that night he came in at 174, GGG came in at 167.8 vs Kell.

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.

He will look like one, since it will be 2019 when he fights GGG. AT the earliest.

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"

Can he make it and participate in VADA testing?

Of course it makes sense and it definitely should be @160 make no mistake, I want that fight @160 but let's be fair and don't act like bias, GGG gotta give something to make the fight happen, or else it will be a Floyd vs Manny thing all over again.

For the record just to clarify those weight claims from som fans. here are the official weights for that fight, I think you had it twisted around.

1) For boxing's sake I hope Canelo grows a pair and fight GGG on 2017

2) That is something I can't answer, that was a su****ious move and to me something smelled fishy in there.
