Can someone explain to aboutfkntime

[aboutfkntime]

Apparently as you so often demonstrate your ignorance..

I am not the idiot who ranked Canelo higher than Golovkin simply because Canelo beat up an old faded 153lb JMW..... YOU ARE

half-wits

" middleweight is 160..... this is boxing " ~ Golovkin

155 is..... a catchweight

So why did Canelo have to pay money to Angulo?

Now you've completely gone off the rails.....

[GGG Gloveking]

the fighters were both JMW's

Lara, Angulo and Kirkland had more fights than Alvarez above 155lbs.
Again, Lara, Angulo, and Kirkland had more experience than Bummelo fighting above 155.

More power to Golovkin if he could finally get Canelo a known weight bully to back down and give in. Not only did Canelo lose the fight but he lost his biggest advantage in the negotiations.

FACT: the hypejob who ran around for FIVE YEARS stating that he would fight "anyone from 154-168"..... totally dropped his balls and refused to negotiate on weight with two JMW SUPERSTARS

like he dropped his balls with Andre Ward

just so long as you are happy with that

If the limit is 155Ib for the day before weigh is that a middleweight fight?

It cannot be.

The weight limit for the day before weigh in must be 160lb for it to be a middleweight fight.

So far as the sanctioning organizations are concerned, the weight limit for all their MW title fights is 160lb.

If 2 fighters want to make an arrangement between themselves to come in at 155, that's up to them. They can weigh whatever they like, as long as they don't go over 160, but the official weight limit is always 160lbs.

They might have to pay a financial penalty to the opponent if they come in over the contracted weight, but they can still fight for the title as long as they don't go over the official limit.

Lol. A catchweight is a “contract?”

As if contracts aren’t standardized procedures for any fight.

You don’t even know the general rule of a catchweight. You fools forgot about “Caneloweight,” which was never ridicule for “catchweights” since Lara, Angulo and Kirkland had more fights than Alvarez above 155lbs.

A catchweight is Middle ground between fighters known in different classes. Again, Lara, Angulo, and Kirkland had more experience than Bummelo fighting above 155 many of you cry when you read boxrec.

It’s amazing how many GGG fans try to prove that Alvarez is supposedly bigger than Golovkin, this notion alone proves there are men in the world who just never fought in their life trying to defend fake claims. Trout, Lara all taller than Nelo, as if Bummelo could be the only boxer with suspenseful weigh ins. It gets tacky

But it will all be over when Bummelo revisits Christmas and takes the straps. The ggg fans will drop him after he loses.

No Golovkin fans are proving that Canelo is a valid fighter in the Middleweight division not that he is necessarily bigger than Golovkin. Its obvious he can handle the Middleweight division look at how well he absorbed Golovkin's punches. Golovkin hit him solidly numerous times. He's shorter than G true. His reach on box rec is 1/2 inch longer. He has a blocky body type so he could very well weigh as much as G, more, or close to it on fight night. Canelo defenders are claiming Canelo can beat guys like Lemieux, Saunders and Jacobs all career Middleweights but at the same time crying that Canelo isn't a real middleweight. They need to stop lying to themselves..

So, what division would that contest be considered to be in?

In my opinion none.

It's a CW due to the limit of 155lb (Assuming that's the contest you're referring to in the question).

[aboutfkntime]

155 is a Middleweight. Show me in the Unified Rules of Boxing where 155 pounds is automatically acatchweight. A catchweight can be any weight. 159.5 pounds is a catchweight if both parties agree. 156 pounds can be a catchweight. No matter what the catchweight is if it's above 154 pounds to 160 pounds it's taking place in the Middleweight division. Canelo has fought outside his weight class to benefit himself numerous times. He has no one to blame but himself for the backlash. Why you defend this guy is bizarre..

name one middleweight who weighs 155, you utter moron

" middleweight is 160..... this is boxing "

Vadrigar clearly explained to you earlier that it is impossible to classify a fighter as a genuine middleweight (or even close) when that fighter is limited to 155..... especially if that fighter had never faced a middleweight opponent at that point in time

you are, and will obviously remain..... totally clueless

[GGG Gloveking]

In my opinion none.

It's a CW due to the limit of 155lb (Assuming that's the contest you're referring to in the question).

Do You realize that your opinion contradicts what the WBC has said in the matter, which is all contests will be assigned to a weight class?
