Comments Thread For: Canelo: I'll Return To 160, But We Can Do Fights Between 160-168

Why does Canelo tiptoe through these higher weight fights. He has not convincingly beaten a legitimate fighter in the last 4yrs. Erislandy? Cotto(who he outweighed by 23lbs at fight time) an old GGG twice. Dude stop your bull**** already,fight somebody with none of that catchweight nonsense.

Wait a minute I thought canelo was the smaller man against ggg?

My condolences to GGG who lost his prime in less than one years time.

lolololol, best comment of the week..

We have to give Canelo some credit here! He has fought champions at 152, 154, 160, and now 168! There was another fighter who said "...anybody from 154 to 168," and only fought guys at 160! We should be clowning him, and not Canelo!

You missed 155, man.

Might be salty, or just critical. Being critical is not always a negative thing, it's about cutting through the promotional spin and rhetoric to attempt to discover what's really going on.
Long time boxing fans have to put up with a lot and shell out a lot, so some of us feel we are entitled to question certain figures motives.

I respect Canelo's skills in the ring and he has an impressive resume for still such a young man.
But that resume also conceals some shifty moves, lacking in integrity and respect. Between Cotto and GGG, he fought Liam Smith, at 154, Amir Khan at 155 then a weight drained JCC jr at 164.5.
Overall this time he was indicating that he was ready to fight GGG when he had no intention of doing so.
He binned his 'Middleweight' WBC belt rather than fight a then prime and ready Golovkin.
Is he allowed to do that? Of course. Is it the behaviour of a champion? I'll leave that one open.
Cheers and respect.

I gotcha bud. I prefer the CaneloGGG outcomes at the full 160 vs Canelo Cotto at 155 for the WBC strap. Now it has more credence..which I guess I can give Canelo a pass for dumping the strap.

I’m sure he’ll fight wherever he feels it gives him the best advantage and just bend the rules of boxing to create multiple Canelo weight classes, just like when he sat at 155lbs

So far in canelos young career he’s faced the best 147 lber, the best 154 lber, and the best 160 lber (2x) yet somehow he’s still considered a coward? But it isnt hate...

If he didnt dump the strap, canelo 3g (1 and 2) would have been a mandatory defense and been either 55/45 or 60/40 split. That was the issue.

Don't forget 155lbs (Neloweight 1)! And 164 (Chavez)!
