    Jermell did an interview recently and suggested Canelo is too small for 160 and that he will bully the little man if he comes back to 154!!!

    Thoughts?

    I used to say Canelo was too small for 160, then I kind of admitted/accepted he was big enough for the division but still on the smaller side of the division.

    154 is definitely his natural division though IMO and I do believe the likes of Hurd and Jermell would outsize him. Could his skill set make up the difference?

    Jermall getting in on the drain game I see.

    How about you move your big ass up to 160 punk?

    Canelo - juiced or not - could still hang with Golovkin and looked comparable size wise also.

    He should stay at 160lbs.

    Funny thing is I give Canelo more a chance the smaller he is,all that useless bulk he put on could only slow him down,looks much better now imo and to answer the question he looked like death on the scales at 154 last time out so if it’s such a struggle then he’s a Middleweight.

    Hurd and Jerrell would outsize those at 160 also

    1 isn't a regular basis.:thumbsup: What's your issue with my complaint? Canelo at this point would be a drained corpse at 154, at least with Brook moving up he didn't have to cut weight, the same can't be said about his match against Spence, Kell's weight cut was a factor and aided immeasurably in Errol's victory.

    Jermell is noticeably smaller than his brother. Ive seen both in person close twice.

    A tad bit, but even a smaller Jermall is still massive for 154.

    I understand Jermell still makes 154 lb without too much difficulty, personally I don't mind people who cut a lot of weight as long as they are honest about it. Jermell freely admits he's a huge 154 in the ring. I also understand that he likes to fight in a different division to his brother.
