    Body type >> Height.

    Sebastian Fundora fights at 154
    Robert Easter fights at 135

    Hell GGG and Mike Tyson are the same height. BHop had a very slim body type. Even today, I saw in an interview he said he walks around at around 170 and could fight at 168 now if he wanted to.

          He could make 147 but he would it would weaken him a lot. He would not fight well. It is not a natural weight for him and he would lose a lot of muscle. He may have out grown 160. Why would he want to fight at 147?????

            No. His body type (mesomorph) is not designed to trim down that low. I'm not even sure he can compete at his best at 160 anymore. I think he has fully grown into a 168 fighter.

              Are you serious? Canelo hasn’t fought at 147 in 9 years. How can this be a serious question?

                It's not going to work; the Carne Franchise Champion is stuck at MINIMUM 160 I say.
                If Crawford wants Canelo its 160 or nothing.

                  nah, I doubt that he could even make 154 at this point

                    Probably around the time he fought Smith MAYBE. Seemed to make it no issue and figured it out. Earlier in his career if I recall he said he could but it wouldnt be safe.

                    Now? No way. Maybe if he took like a year off the sport or something and went full Jose Aldo...maybe? He’s got a lot of muscle on him and hes walking around fairly trim compared to how he used to so I lean towards no he cant.
