    You're a moron.

    Canelo has a larger frame than Cotto and if you can't see that then you need to either rewatch their fight together or get a new optometrist.

    Also, if Cotto had no business at 160 how the hell did he man handle Daniel Geale easier than GGG did? Before you mention the 157 catchweight and how that made Geale a Corpse, Geale has weighed in between 158-159 for most of his fights recently.

    The only weight disadvantage Canelo has is that we have never seen him fight at the full 160 limit.

    Weigh-in weight is a manipulated depleted number. Canelo is killing himself to stay under 160lbs. They're both the same size ffs. GGG is a whopping 1 inch taller. They actually have a very similar frame and canelo actually looks thicker than GGG.

    :D Not a bad post but Canelo actually is a middle-weight. Have you seen what Canelo weighs on fight night. Canelo's been draining to get down to 154/155 lbs. and he looked terrible at his last two weigh-ins.

    :lol: Canelo's offer to meet GGG @ 160 lbs. probably means he no longer can meet 155 lbs. and maintain stamina.

    :p IMO... the fight offers too much money for Canelo to surrender the belt. O$CAR has run out of excuses to delay, and is between a ROCK & a HARD PLACE.

    ;)

    Even though GGG is the much bigger guy, I think Canelo can still beat him because he has faster hands and sharper punches

    Not a bad point. I suppose it feels like a lot longer since GGG has been the mandatory for over a year and a half and the lineal champ has been avoiding GGG for longer then that.

    As long as Mr. GGG keeps accepting that step aside money he will continue to be the mandatory instead of the actual challenger.

    Yes, that is true. At the same time had Golovkin refused the step aside money these last two times Cotto/Canelo almost certainly would've just dropped the title leaving Golovkin with the belt but without the big fight. With all of the pressure to make the fight next, all the waiting may turn out to have been the best move K-2 could make in these circumstances.

    I'm anxious for GGG to knock Canelo the F out because El Chicano will hopefully commit suicide if that happens.

    Golovkin is only slightly bigger than canelo. He's taller, longer reach. I think he's bigger because Golovkin can't make 155 and canelo can.

    MUCH BIGGER??? What is wrong with some of you people. Do you have eyes much less know basic math? They're virtually the exact same size less a 5-6lb completely depleted canelo weigh-in.

    GGG has the obvious size advantage.

    Follow the sport before you talk all that dumb horse sh*t.
    Canelo was 174lbs vs Angulo on fight night
    Was probably close to 180lbs vs Khan
    GGG is Canelo's MIDDLEWEIGHT mandatory. Why don't you dummies understand that by now?
