Are u ******ed?

Canelo ggg were signed to fight even before Canelo fought Chavez.

Did GGG NOT say "Anyone from 154-168" he beats and come get it???

Funny how he fought Rolls at 164. The same weight he wanted Ward years before.

I'm gonna be like you. GGG should if moved up to fight Ward. Give him 1-2 fights.

*** weight classes. I'm a fan like Ant1979 and demand boxers move up 1-2 weight classes when I feel they are ready and go right at the Champ. No tuneup

That's a yes then

Come on now, that's not what I wrote. But the fact remains, if he was ready to fight GGG at 160lb, like he later did of course then why didn't he? After all it was a 160lb title he would have been defending.

Again the evidence points towards him not feeling ready. What evidence I hear you ask? The fact he significantly jumped up in weight to fight Chavez Jnr to help acclimatise his body to a heavier fighting weight before committing to a bout at 160lb. That's not 'speculation,' 'opinion,' or 'ridiculous' - it actually happened as a matter of fact.

Interestingly years ago when Chavez Jnr's career was on the rise he also benefited from some extremely preferential treatment from the WBC at the cost of Martinez, who was properly shafted as the WBC 160lb champion at the time. I've not got time to go into all the details and back story but look it up - I'm not lying.

None of the above is 'pure speculation' and pointing out events that have happened in time is by no means 'ridiculous.' Open your mind, have a read of Eddie Hearns recent comments on this forum regarding Whyte and Lomachenko. These aren't opinions, they are facts - they are events that have happened, just like CJ Lewis's scorecard.

Finally losing in court isn't acknowledgement of anything, you're completely missing the point. The whole concept of going to court in the first place is the strong belief that they are right in their actions and therefore have done nothing wrong. A judges decision against the WBC by no means changes this belief, just changes the outcome of proceedings. And you wonder why you bother?

Open your mind friend and look into these things.

This is the last thing I'm going to say to you because you obviously don't get it. The vast majority of your posts are nothing but opinion and conjecture, boardeline conspiracy theories. Your the only person who has ever said Canelo was not ready to fight GGG which is why he requested a catchweight, and then there is nothing you can say to reconcile the fact that Canelo had fought in numerous catch weights. These things are borne out of ignorance and emotion, as well as lack of knowledge. If you actually read the WBCs rules, you would see that they follow there own rules very closely, rules which were approved by US law. Your contention that the WBC is inherently corrupt is incorrect and shows a lack of understanding and makes you nothing but a casual at most. And to end my last retort, your lack of common sense is astounding. The WBC defends themselves in court because they believe they acted properly within the constraints of their rules, and the rules stipulated by Congress, as is their right. Just like McDonald's defends themselves when they are sued for scalding coffee. They lose and they correct the behavior. So, please continue with your emotional ignorance, I will continue with the facts, and let's go our separate ways.

Look, you did okay to last this long but it's pretty obvious why Canelo chose to impose his catchweights - the answer lays within the very nature of catchweights, as previously explained. He learned this trick from Mayweather, having claiming to feel 'significantly weakened' after be asked to meet 152, instead of 154. Sound familiar?

But again you have no legal standing to impose a catchweight in a mandatory defense as the title itself stipulates the terms of the weight, in this case 160lb. Given the choice, he dumped the belt, that's a fact so let's not waste time arguing it. And let's not make out I was the only one who questioned that decision either.

You'll probably not have noticed but I've addressed every point you've raised while you've conveniently overlooked many of mine, but hey the insults mask over this right?

I don't mind btw , just a bit of fun to me as I deal with blind prejudice and genuine ignorance as part of my day job - as you can probably tell. All the best regardless, it's been fun.

Will the WBC actually enforce their own rules for once? Probably not.
