You talking about fighters pulling out and fights being cancelled doesn't alter the fact that sanctioning bodies order eliminators and mandatory defences at the official divisional limit and sanction title fights at the official divisional limit, whether they are fought at a catchweight or not.

“The middleweight division is 160 lbs. as the limit for an official (title) fight,” noted WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman when addressing concerns over the possibility of Geale coming in above the contracted weight limit. “Any weight less than 160 is official.”
I'm surprised that a so called Canelo fan doesn't know this, because Canelo vs Hatton, for the WBC JMW title, had a catchweight of 150lbs, and Canelo still won the title after coming in over the contracted catchweight but under the official sanctioned weight
