Is Canelo cheating?

[Beercules]

would canelo benefit from gaining more weight? is not like he is already bigger than GGG, he isn't. he is short and with slow feet

I don't think he will.

But he a small middleweight doe

... but the only way that that is even true would be if Golovkin was also ready to dump the IBF belt (IBF has already sanctioned their owed final eliminator, and every IBF champion has to make the check weight for any IBF-sanctioned title fight).

So much for all of that "my dream is to have all of the middleweight belts" bull****

[Derranged]

I mean I guess he isn't since he's not required to. Besides Canelo and Golovkin are virtually the same size anyway.

I expect a lot of these little tricks to be used by Canelo within the next few months. A guy who wore fishnets tells him what to do so you have to expect weird things to happen.

Exactly. I see a lot of Floyd Mayweather in Canelo. He is using the same gutless tactics. Playing the victim and actually having the gall to act like he wasn't running from GGG is a perfect example. I just hope he doesn't pull an Oscar and run the last three rounds.

As long as GGG doesn't have to weigh in either then who cares. Funny thing is, the IBF put that rule in to protect boxers from gaining massive amounts of weight for advantages but now guys would rather have a weight advantage then fight for a title.

If the 10lb-check was the rule for all weights, Alvarez would be cheating; it's not.

No different than with the process it took the WBC/WBA/IBF to work around each other's mandatories (to encourage title unifications), the IBF needs the other governing bodies to adopt their standard (just as the WBC is waiting on the other governing bodies to follow their lead on independent testing).

Still, with the continued insistence from Golovkin and his camp of being a small middleweight, the weight check shouldn't impact him, whether Alvarez does it or not

He a small middleweight doe

[Motorcity Cobra]

Oscar De La Hoya is afraid for Canelo Alvarez! And these contractual terms unearth this......

Why on earth is Canelo Alvarez not fighting for the IBF title? I thought he wanted to become the Middle-weight Champion of the world etc

He was already middleweight champion of the world

He's not fighting for the IBF so he isn't doing the 2nd day weigh in. GGG is still defending the IBF so he has to do the 2nd day weigh in.

Regardless of what Jacobs or Canelo decided to do GGG still has to do the 2nd day weigh in.

Lloefler said that they negotiated this point. I don't remember exactly at which minute but it should to be around 5-10 min.



That if Canelo doesn't want to fight for the IBF title, then Golovkin won't have to make a 2nd day weigh in. He didn't give more detail.

What I believe: they either negotiated with the IBF this point, or they will vacate the IBF title too, if Canelo does.

GEE will walk away with 2 belts and his ass kicked...

Alvarez will come down second & be announced last aswell.
