why does everyone pretend Canelo is moving up two weight classes?

So because your a bitter boxing fan you have to ignore the obvious that Canelo is a very small middleweight who has to pack on excessive amounts of muscle to fight guys way bigger than him. People realize they’re in a presence of an ATG this is why they do damage control as soon as they feel threatened by Canelos accomplishments. Give it a rest man you are cooked win lose or draw this dude has bigger balls than even Pacquiao who had drain everyone down to a dangerous weight.

I wouldn’t go as far as saying Canelo is a small Middleweight bruh. Don’t feed the haters. Canelo is a Prime Middleweight, and can fight with guys at 168 as Mikey did at 140. However 175 is like when Rigo and Mikey went up two weights. It’s not the Roid era of just a post fight urine test like SRL or Hearns of Duran. Maradona was on roids and ya yo. All cool in the sportsworld of the 80’s.

With advanced drug testing it’s harder to do these things. Look at the way Toney slurs because he was on the same stuff NFL players were on to deter extremity. Toradol is nice

Because it's more attractive to have a storyline narrative than saying he's moving up a few pounds to fight. The david and goliath story sold well for Ruiz-Joshua and will be sold as such again..it does well. Makes low self esteem people feel like "If he can do that...I can do anythingggggggg." And considering the almost like god worship of the guy around here I see it works and sells well.

his last fight was at 160, wasnt it?
isnt he a mw ??
a mw champ going to get titles at other weight classes where he really doesnt belong...
175 will be canelos 6th weight class, anyone thinking canelo is a legit lhw is just dumb...

Half of his recent fights have been at super middleweight.

When was he a super lightweight? 2005?

his last fight was at 160, his next fight is at 175, 2 weight classes...
yes he fought at other weights in the past like 168, but he also fought at 140, but you are going to pick the weight that suits your agenda...

When Pacquiao-Spence happens, I’m going to start a thread about how Pacquiao is moving up six weight classes because he should be a bantamweight.

Why stop there? Might as well go ahead and say Pacquiao is a weight bully because he fought at light-middleweight when he fought Margarito. He's trying to bully small Spence by moving down in weight.

3 fights at mw, 2 smw and 1 at jmw, but his last fight was at 160 and thats his real weight class... he is the #1 lineal middleweight champion of the world as shown in his last fight...
if you cant aknowledge canelo as a legit mw trying to get a title 2 weight classes above then something is wrong with you...

[ShaneMosleySr]

There’s something’s wrong with you lol.

He went to 168 and won a “title” there’s. He’s listed as the wba regular champion at 168 by every boxing publication.

He also fought at super middleweight before he became middleweight champion.

I’m not saying he’s never been a middleweight, I’m just pointing out that he’s already pretty well established at 168. He fought there less than a year ago, has fought there twice in his last five fights and owns a “title.” 168 is one weight class below 175. It’s a one weight class jump.

3 fights at mw, 2 smw and 1 at jmw, but his last fight was at 160 and thats his real weight class... he is the #1 lineal middleweight champion of the world as shown in his last fight...

If he’s a Cruiser then GGG is there too, and therefore Jacobs is a Heavyweight

GGG is SMW
Jacobs is a LHW

Get your shirt right

But Canelo wasn’t bigger than GGG nor Jacobs. Real Talk!
