Canelo once again is daring to be great . what a fighter !

Well it's not at all.

Would you be happy with Canelo having to fight say Khan at 148 in defence of his 154 title?

 

It was Khan who demanded 155 for his fight with Canelo.

But again, its irrelevant because they ended up fighting at 160 regardless.

How do you feel about GGGs petition to fight Ward at 164?

 

I can be critical as he tried to get the then number 1 middleweight to unify the 160 belts at 155.

The fact Cotto was doing it does not mean it is correct to follow on the same path, also let's not pretend that Cotto started the 155 trend, 2 out of Canelo's last 3 fights prior to Cotto were at 155.

155 is not 160.....160 is 160.

 

The question is why would Canelo leave the middleweight division so early. Maybe because he doesn't want any part of Charlo, Andrade, Saunders or Derevyanchenko so he rather moves up to a much weaker division to fight nobodies like Fielding?

 

Let me correct you on your first point. Canelo challeneged GGG to a non-title fight at 155, NOT for all the titles. He specifically said "lets put the belts aside..."

How do you feel about GGG wanting Ward at 164?

 

They both weighed in at 155, not at 160, that's a lie and it is relevant that he chose to defend the 160 title at 155.

As for Ward v GGG at 164, that was never going to happen and although I'm not a fan of catch weight fights it was the middle ground of both fighters weights and it has been done numerous times before, plus Ward did say he's go to 160 for Floyd Joy Sinclair.

But again id be against it.

 

Has Canelo vacated? Has he said he was vacating? I haven't heard anything yet so I'm not jumping to conclusions.

I know he has a voluntary, and if he wants to use it to test the waters at SMW, so be it. I can't hate on that, especially when he could easily have used his voluntary to fight a Monroe or Wade type fighter.

 

So he wanted to drain GGG to Caneloweight?

I'm glad you admit it.

 

Cotto demanded 155
Khan demanded 155

How is this Canelo's fault?

Canelo "challenged" and called GGGs bluff for a "non-title fight" at 155.

Where is the crime in this?

 

You can look at it that way if you wish.

Personally I like to use proper context. The WBC attempted to dictate the terms of the fight, so as we know Canelo vacated but was still trying to fight GGG on his terms.

 

Fielding is on Monroe's level except he is bigger. And Golovkin didn't choose Monroe or Wade they were mandatories. However Alvarez chose overmatched opponents like Amir Khan, Liam Smith, drained to a zombie Chavez and now Fielding.

 

155 is not and never has been a division or fighting weight in the way Canelo played it.
