    You're not serious surely?
    Canelo cuts massive almost unprecedented amounts of weight while Golovkin is very old fashioned in his method of making weight in that with just a week to go he was only a few pounds away from 160.
    Oscar and Canelo can try and make all the excuses they want about "growing into his body"etc but the actual truth of it is that Canelo always outweighs his opponents by miles,don't be fooled by Oscars rhetoric,use your eyes,Canelo is practically killing himself to avoid Golovkins weight division and since his Canelo weight of 155 wasn't holding sway anymore from the WBC he did what we all thought he'd do and gave the belt back and has moaned about ever since.
    I like Canelo as a Boxer and I doubt he's scared of Golovkin but I don't like how Oscar has handled him,in cutting so much weight he's in danger of doing permenant damage to his organs and even more frightening the spinal fluid that surrounds the brain has got to be compromised the day after cutting so much weight?

    Why does GGG hydrate to 172+ after weighing in at 160 if he's 165 30 days from the weigh in?

    That sounds good but why did GG look like a real life Walker while Canelo looked like Achilles

    I know what you mean and have to admit that it had me baffled as it gave his weight at 165 from the 30 day weigh in and down to 162 just days away,I can only presume that 172 is his real weight but still it's nothing compared to what Canelo does,not only do I enjoy watching Canelos fights I enjoy Canelos weigh ins cause nobody can cut weight like that guy every time(seem to remember James Toney cutting loads of weight at 160?)

    There's a huge list of fighter recently and throughout history who cut massive amounts of weight... From Ricky Hattin, to Miguel Cotto, to Brandon Rios, to Adrien Broner, to Arturo Gatti and on, and on...

    I know new boxing fans have a hard time undersanding this.

    Yeah I've never seen Golovkin look like that,no way he felt great that week,I think that was a load of rubbish from GGG,that said Canelo looked dreadful too,no drug testing in this upcoming fight and guaranteed there'll be no reveal of Canelos weight on the night,I can understand you liking Canelo as a boxer cause I do but his antics with regard to weight must bug even his most ardent of fan Since?

    Yeah sometimes but as long as he makes weight and the fight goes thru ill be ok. Now if it was some Castillo, corrales type of thing going on where they had to cancell the fight then it would really be upsetting.

    Still stuck on this? Too dumb to figure it out yourself? Has it occurred to you he simply eats a good meal and hydrates himself well? Or do you need some idiotic conspiracy theory to get on board with?

    Yeah Ricky Hatton and Broner are a good call as is Gatti who had a few sickening knock outs against smaller guys on the night,makes me think how good Mayweather was to beat both Canelo and Gatti despite the gulf in size,I reckon Floyd must have an iron chin to stand up to that power?

    I know you're not very bright, there is nothing wrong with that, I'm sure you were born that way, and I'm also sure you have other qualities or talents to make up for your lack of common sense.

    Lets see expert; Golovkin weighs in at 165 30 days before the fight, he works his way down to 159 in 30 days losing 6 pounds in the process, and then one day after he balloons up to 172.

    And your explanation is that he had a hearty meal and some liquids after weighing in 159? Ok, now tell me smart-guy, how do you go from weighing 165 30 days BEFORE the fight to weighing 172 the night of the fight?

    A good meal and hydration won't put you up 10 lbs. 4-6 lbs maybe. He's cutting a few lbs too.

    Mayweather's chin was average. He was badly rocked against Corley, and hurt badly against Mosley. The reason we didn't see Mayweather hurt as often was because his defense was impeccable.

    How the fak can you gauge Mayweather's chin using the Gatti fight when Gatti didn't even land anything significant on him, and Gatti hadn't hurt a top elite opponent in eons anyway.
