There is absolutely no reason for him to move up to 160 no matter how many labels you throw at him.

Originally posted by KingHippo View PostThe thing is that he doesn't weigh 155, he demanded a 155 catch weight for this fight.

I actually think he should fight Saunders, than Golovkin, but a few fights at 160 shouldn't be viewed as outlandish.
Canelo is no 154 fighter. He had to cancel VADA testing in order to make 154 against Smith and admitted during camp that the struggle to make weight made him think about moving up to 160 since the next fight.

Originally posted by Eff Pandas View PostFrom what I recall he moved to Caneloweight, 155lbs, because he couldn't make 154 or was having issues getting down that extra lb. 155 is middleweight.
I'm not throwing labels on him. He's the guy who was fighting at middleweight and won a middleweight title vs the #1 guy at middleweight. And all I'm saying now is he doesn't need tune ups to fight his #1 opposition at middleweight. There shouldn't be anything controversial or shocking taken away from that statement.

I can't wait to see the list you pull from your ass.

GBP is just padding their bank account or apparently staying financially afloat til some more names get made on their roster + letting GGG get older to make Canelo odds better in perhaps the most challenging fight of his career.

He had his chance to get "settled" at 160 but chose to fight Smith at 154 instead. The fight needs to happen in September
