Why isn't canelo aiming to the best 154 fighters?

[elfag]

He cant make 154 anymore so he moved up one division to the 155 division where he always fights the best.

People complain about Khan but he was the second best fighter in the 155 division when Canelo fought him.

And before that, he beat Cotto who was #1 in the 155 division when they fought.

He got a win vs the best 154 pounder at 155, what a shame he couldn't make 154. Oh, now that you mention Mayweather and Lara, why didn't Floyd fight his WBA mandatory?

It was a non title fight...if Lara would of had a belt it would of been at "54"

Maybe he is. His next fight has not been announced yet.

He can probably make 154 without undue strain. He has weighed in at 154.5 for a couple of his 155 pound weight limit fights. Eight to 16 ounces is really a very small amount of additional weight to lose. I doubt losing another pound would have a negative effect on his performance. He will still weigh about 170 on fight night. Don't get me wrong. I strongly disagree with any middleweight champion making the weight limit for a title defense even an ounce less than 160 pounds. That goes for former champs Cotto and Canelo.

nothing wrong with fighting a bum every now and then, but when your resume is full of it, then...
canelo has some cherrypicks too, but you can have that luxury after facing some challenges, something ggg has yet to do... at 25yo canelos resume ****s all over gggs at 34yo...

Well we wouldn't have that problem if either Can'tNelo or Cotto would have stepped up would we but both blatantly ducked him

Canelo should be ashamed of himself for his blatant stupidity of listening to Fishnets

[R_Walken]

the whole reason he invented a weightcclass is so his team can pick and choose with no obligations

Canelo probably doesn't even bat .500 against Andrade, Lara , Charlo's , J-Roc with fair scoring , why compete there when fans would want to see him fight the best in the div knowing the hype gets killed if he attempted it

At 160 the only gaurenteed beat down is at the hands of Gennady, wth Jacobs, Saunders , Eubanks all could make things interesting.

Much better for his team to stay in their own fantasy division and drag down a MW with a name that they can beat or pick and choose the guys at 154 that give them a good chance of winning.

Ha today max said Can'tNelo won't duck anyone but gb is afraid their cash cow will get knocked out so its more gb doing the ducking

The damage is already done from what he said post fight khan.
There are Mexican Warriors and there are Business Men. It's safe to say anyone with Fishnets is a Business man and this is also why JCC is still loved and DLH hated amongst Mexicanos

[mannysavage]

Why not the charlos? why not andrade? nothing against Smith, just asking...

He needs tune ups at 154 now?

If you look thru Canelos opponents, he hasnt fought anyone above 6'0 which in itself is very alarming, Canelo has been fighting smaller guys his entire career, and his record is as padded as u can get, while still being relevant, cant wait for Andrade, Julian Williams etc calling Canelo out, then hes got more people that he got to duck, but then again "Mexicans dont **** around"
