Can someone explain to aboutfkntime

[aboutfkntime]

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

[Vadrigar.]

exactly

who cares if that falls within the middleweight range, when you cannot enter the fight as a true middleweight by design

also, it was only 1 fkn lb..... as Canelo proved with Liam Smith

1 pound means so much to these clowns, and 5lbs means sooooo very little

also, who judges a bout/fighter by the division MINIMUM ?

casual-fans should be tied up, p1ssed on, then dragged behind a horse

The fact that nearly every poster on this site would give a fighter different amounts credit depending on the weight limit he fought at, shows in their hearts they do believe there's a difference.

You can call it an "official sanctioned middleweight title fight" if you want.

Objectively speaking it's not a true fight at that weight class. If it were there wouldn't be countless angry debates about CW victories in the May-Pac era.

[icha]

lets just pretend that catchweight fights dont exist and close this thread, deal??

[aboutfkntime]

the elephant in the room.....

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).

these casuals have totally embarrassed themselves

what on earth could make them behave so ******ly ?

no, wait..... I think I know.....

[stealthradon]

Canelo paid Angulo step-aside money, so he could duck him

no, wait..... Canelo whooped Angulo

sorry, my bad..... it was Golovkin who paid step-aside money to duck Cotto

NOT supporting Canelo's lame/unprofessional 155 rubbish

but.....
.
FACT: not one of those catchweights drained his opponent

those catchweights did not even disadvantage his opponents..... he gave himself an extra pound that likely benefitted him more than them..... if any of them were struggling to make weight, then it benefitted them as well

155 is still middleweight.

No even though I'm not a fan of Catchweight fights Ward said no to a catchweight at 164..

the point is, you nailed it earlier

Golovkin refused 155, because he did not want to be limited..... and these clowns happily supported that decision, despite Golovkin talking all of that "154-168" rubbish

Canelo was limited to 155..... but, that is close enough for these casuals

they don't care that Canelo had never weighed more than 1lb over the JMW limit, and that he had never faced a middleweight opponent..... the two-faced casual-fan cvnts just wanted their guy to have an advantage

[aboutfkntime]

155 is still middleweight.

nope, it is canelo-weight

[TonyGe]

****HEAD..... we are talking about 155lb Canelo

don't you go changing the subject now kid

155 Canelo is pre-Smith..... immediately after Smith, Canelo announced his intention to move up to 160

stop being a ****head

Do you think that in that short time frame Aliens came and automagicialy transformed Canelo into a Middleweight. Sorry it don't work that way. Canelo has been capable of fighting Middleweights for quite some time. Or as Oscar put it untill Canelo is ready. That's code for untill Golovkin stops knocking people the **** out in real terms.

No even though I'm not a fan of Catchweight fights Ward said no to a catchweight at 164..

he clearly could not make 164

you casual-fans are fkn awful

FACT: lil'G was willing to fight Froch at 168
FACT: lil'G was willing to fight Chavez at 168
FACT: lil'G was willing to fight Hopkins at 168
FACT: lil'G was willing to fight Jack at 168
FACT: lil'G was willing to fight Chudinov at 168
FACT: lil'G was willing to fight Ramirez at 168
FACT: lil'G was NOT willing to fight Ward at 168

just so long as you are happy about that
