Yea your 6' but Chavez Jr is 6'1 so If you say you're just under 180 a person who's an inch taller than you should be just under 190 give or take

Dumbass charlo makes jmw ffs,& many other fighters make less than 160 at 6',chavez only needed to lose 3 lbs in 4 months,compared to his last fight,& he couldn't throw anything because canelo did what I said hed do timed him to death with speed & jr couldn't get a punch off without getting combod,you act like anyone knew canelo would this thouroughly dominate,most gigi groupies said otherwise but try to hedge their bets.

another farce of a ppv by team fishnets. golden boy stooge big dummy will be in here any second to defend it.

Shut the **** up punk. Quit hating!

Dumbass hbo got his height info they just couldn't get weight info,& its impossible for jacobs to gain 30 lbs overnight,& as I said the face to face pics show the height,& jacobs was wearing 2 inch taulus boots. On fight night gigi weighed no more than 10 lbs less than jacobs realistically about 8 lbs,as jacobs has chicken legs,gigi is not some tiny mw like he claims thats bs,he can easily rehydrate to same weight as jacobs,it just wouldn't benefit him as hed lose speed.

Everyone know's Jacobs was close to 190 it was easy to see. Garcia was asked how much a fighter could gain overnight after weighin and he said Brandon Rio's use to gain 20lbs so it's not hard to imagine someone much much bigger could gain 25lbs

You probably don't even know an NBA player can lose 10 pounds over the course of a game weight can be lost and gained very quickly

I agree with all that.

My only issue (and fear) is that if the fight is signed at 160 lbs., Canelo will be 180+ in the ring, like he was last night versus Chavez Jr. In fact, I am almost 100% sure that Canelo was heavier than Chavez Jr. last night.

Yet I still think GGG is way more powerful, at 170 fight night, than Canelo at 180+, but what amazes me about Canelo is how fast his hands are, being such a stocky athlete. Reminds me of Mike Tyson, he was stocky too, but incredibly fast in both legs and hands, for a heavyweight. Canelo is flat-footed but his hand speed at that weight is amazing.

Yet Canelo, even though he landed clean punches all night including low blows, never really hurt Chavez Jr., whereas I really believe GGG would have KO'd him.

If they fight in September at 160, my vote is for GGG, and I predict that he will knock down Canelo at least once, and win by decision, IF THERE'S NO ROBBERY that is.

Canelo is gonna lite that boy up

and it's not just his speed, its his defence/upper-body movement..... his intelligence, skills, and punch selection

he is gonna make Golovkin second-guess himself way more than he did in the Jacobs fight

Golovkin is slow and somewhat predictable, Canelo will make him miss and make him pay with ripping counters/combo's..... Canelo is tough, and he aint going nowhere..... so Golovkin is in for 12 gruelling rounds

Canelo UD12

Canelo fought a heavy bag tonight.

It has nothing to do with that,if anything the bigger you are the less youd benefit from gaining too much as youd be drained & slow,& get countered timed to death by a faster lighter opponent whos about your height,NOBODY gains 30 lbs overnight NOBODY but esp. not boxers. Its also a question of physics,its about impossible for your body to digest enough food & water without your stomach rupturing to gain near that.

Everybody got their own opinion. I saw a Chavez that didn't have pop in his punches. Had nothing to do with Canelo and everything to do with how that weight is just not good for a man who's over 30 and 6'1 because at that height he should naturally be about 190-200lbs

Jr said himself yea it was the skills/speed, but also that he didn't feel his power and I believe him he looked much stronger physically in his last fight 3-4 pounds is a lot when your that big any boxer will tell you that

Of course I was speaking in general 6' or 6'1 can come in many different shapes in sizes but I'm talking for a normal person with more of an athletic type build..

I'm just saying I think your original figure of 200lbs is a little high. I agree about different shapes and sizes. I'd say I have a normal athletic build, I'm not diesel, but I'm not skinny either. When I'm "training" (working out 6 days a week, 2-3 hours per day) I get down closer to 170. But it's hard to compare one man's weight to anothers, for many reasons.

I will say this, I wouldn't want to try to make 164. 168 maybe, 164 would be hard

[aboutfkntime]

you must be new to boxing or a little bit slow, go watch hopkins record when he was fighting at middleweight, his best wins are against a 140 de la hoya and a 147 trinidad.

Hopkins did not defend the WBA regular title

that **** did not even exist back when he was king

oh..... and it no longer exists now, the WBA removed it
