    This guys are damn near Anorexic and weight bullies. That's why I respect guys like Canelo who is 5'8 and is fighting at 154 - 164 lbs.

    I don't think canelo has a choice...it's just the way he's built. It's a shame, cuz he'll be too small for 168-175.

        Canelo is more like 5'7". It's one of the reasons why I think his highest weight class will be MW.

          Really? The average 5'8 American MEN weights around 165 - 185 lbs

            This thread makes no sense. You're acting as if height is the only thing that determines weight. Canelo isn't fighting where he is bc he is tough, he is doing it bc that's what his body permits.

            I'm 5'8 and don't weigh near 165-185lbs. If I trained and cut weight for the weigh in, I could get myself below 135.

                  I think that you are proving my point of different body types...
