    Good.GGG was willing to go all the way down to 154 for Mayweather so why not Canelo at 155? ?

    Because mayweather is a 147 pounder, while Canelo is a MW and not just a MW but the lineal MW who is mandated to fight GGG at 160...ARE U THAT DULL?

    Canelo likes to sound good on T.V. then ***** out with bs demands when no one's looking that's pretty much the situation.

    Yeah, GGG never fought at 168 and Ward wasn't his mandatory so asked for an even weight split. Ward declined and moved up. Anything else yould like to know?

    Not a MW?

    Middleweight is the weight class after Junior middleweight. Canelo hasn't made Junior middleweight in over two years, hence Middleweight. Canelo is now the lineal middleweight champion, hence middleweight. He rehydrated to 174 lbs on fight night against Cotto hence Middleweight.

    If Canelo isn't a junior middleweight then what is he? A Caneloweight? No. He's a middleweight, let alone the lineal MW champion...

    That's about it... they are not going to budge from there stance on this. That is the biggest fight for GGG at the moment. GGG con not find another fight that will generate the payday that one will bring, not even close.

    But that still is B!tch Move in my book, especially when the both come in about the same weight on fight night. Canelo can clearly make 160, the thing is, they feel they can just make 155 and still be healthy. while GGG might make the weight but be weakened enough to effect his fight condition.

    It's no so much on Canelo, I truely feel he'll take on GGG anytime anywhere... It's Golden Boy that is not willing to take that risk in having their cash cow not just lose, get destroyed.
