Why didn't canelo stay at 175 to fight beterbiev?

[chrisJS]

Same reason Hagler and Monzon stayed at 160. Nothing to lure them up. Nothing to lure Beterbiev up to cruiser. If there was a big money fight he'd surely go up. Only a dummy can't understand this.

Well look who you’re talking to. Anyone that’s really blown away with weight hopping and trinket collecting is a bit suspect and not understanding context or just makes up things to suit their claims.

He’d be more impressed if Beterbiev won a trinket off a easy champ at cruiser than if Beterbiev cleaned out and became undisputed at 175. Says it all.

[-Kev-]

Why didn’t Roy Jones Jr stay at HW to fight Lennox Lewis after beating John Ruiz? Why go back down to 175?

Why didn’t Pacquiao stay 154 to fight Canelo after beating Margarito? Why go back down to 147?

Why didn’t Leonard defend his WBC LHW title vs Virgil Hill after winning it against Lalonde?

Because he picked the weakest oldest champion at 175. It’s obvious to everyone but Canelo’s fanboys. So of course he vacates and goes back to 168 to fight a guy who’s goes life and death with journeyman on a regular basis

Pretty much, but you better delete this b4 the Nelo-boys see this this

Why move up to that division, win and drop back down again? It's as if he covers 3 weight classes and goes up and down based on which champion is most vulnerable . He'll be back down to 160 when golovkin is 40 and then if some ****ing bum wins a title at 175 he will be back up there!!! Saunders best win is a razor thin decision against Chris eubank Jr and he lost 5 of the last 6 rounds, just cause he's got an 0 doesn't mean it's a great opponent, he hasn't beaten a single world level fighter!!!!! Not one!

160 is Canelo's EFFECTIVE MAX WEIGHT (168 for cash fights that aren't super hard). The Kov fight was their for the taking but that was just to collect a major belt.

Hates canelo loves AJ. Cant make this shlt up

LMAO

I love it when Golovkin fans criticize other fighters opponent selection... and call them over-hyped ahahahh

[ralex]

So y’all want him to fight a guy that can fight Cruiserweight??

Lol. He might as well go to heavyweight

[aboutfkntime]

The question was about Canelo, Conelo lover and GGG hater. Why do you drag GGG into it.GGG didn't move up because he didn't outgrow the weight class as Canelo did. Why is staying at one weight some kind of mortal sin. It was good enough for great champions Monzon, Hagler, Pryor, Zale etc. etc, Canelo targeted a weak old champion in Kovalev with no intention of ever fighting Bivol or Beterbiev and Canelo cannot make 168 anymore. Why won't Canelo give a champion he beat in his backyard by a single pint a rematch????? If Canelo offers GGG a rematch at 168 he will move to 168 and fight him in a heartbeat. Meanwhile GGG is a champion of the world at 160 so why should he move to 168?

GGG did not move up because he is a POOOOOSY !

you g-strings need to explain why Golovkin was willing to fight Chavez at 168, but not Ward... whats up with that?

exactly, good post kev

none of those guys belonged in that division

[stuff jones]

Because Canelo has learned from Floyd to take the biggest name fights with the least risk.

Why can't Beterbiev fight Bivol already? Why can't he move up and fight Usyk, Joshua, Wilder, and Fury?

What exactly has he done since turning pro? How long has he been a pro and who's his biggest fight?
