Canelo will have trouble at 160

I understand and appreciate your points but the 164 Chavez fight he looked comfortable (although Chavez is not elite IMO).

Time will tell...post GGG with whatever happens - heaps of good matchups for Canelo and if he loses in the fights you mentioned above...I don't think it'll be a weight issue.

 

Canelo at 160= Broner @ 147

 

Just for arguments sake, where would you rank Canelo as an ATG if he beat G and all those younger guys at 160?

 

The guy is build like a tank I don't think he's outsized taller than him yes.

 

I've said for a long time now that I expect Canelo to be comfortable at the weight as he was practically killing himself at 154 and according to Hearn Canelo wanted to be at middleweight when he was facing Liam Smith but Oscar made him look bad for avoiding the division all because of one man.
I expect he'll be quicker and have more energy about him but in my opinion Instead pushing duff pay per views against a guy who looked like he nearly killed himself making weight he should of done what Ward did and have at the very least two tune ups at 160 so he could get a feel for the weight and opponents at middleweight.

I'm in agreement that he could struggle against GGG cause if you think about it discarding that awful Chavez fight he's always had the mental edge of being bigger on fight night than his opponent but against GGG it's back to normality and I'm not sure if he likes that?

 

He'll be comfortable with weight but he's too short for middleweight.

 

Such an intriguing fight this,when I think of Canelo I think of him stalking after em all the time,even against Floyd Mayweather who gave him such a one sided fight Canelo never stopped trying to walk him down.
Now then what happens when you put both together in a ring as I can't imagine Golovkin changing his stalking style either and maybe it comes down to their respective jabs?
Will Caneleo change his own style and try and do what Ward does to frustrate the hell out of Golovkin?
Can't wait ti find out.

 

Canelo has never fought at 160 before and he is facing a career and DOMINANT MW.

Get your sensible heads on and use logic here. GGG should beat this guy convincingly unless Oscar rigs it for a rematch.

 

Absolutely,he had a free slot but was injured.
I don't think anyone could call him for fighting these guys but Pay per views against Liam Smith was the order of the day.
If he does lose to GGG I hope he gets respect as losing to Floyd and Golovkin is nothing to shame about.

 

"Canelo is huge, hes a SMW, he's a cruiserweight"

"Canelo is too small for MW"

-Canelo haters

 

He will do it easily....interesting to see if His Chin makes the transition as comfortably...

 

El Pollo will find out that there is a huge difference between Golovkin and Chavez, Jr.
