    i've never considered a fighter weighing 155 to be a middleweight, he's still a light middleweight in my eyes. that's like calling a fighter who weighs 161 a super middleweight. super middleweight is 168 last time i checked, middleweight is 160 last time i checked.

    Imagine if Marciano had wanted to defend the HW title at 176. :D

    It's times like this when you wish Rocchigiani just ended the WBC once and for good. This POS organization is by far the most corrupted in boxing.

    They approved both fighters will appear in the same show to promote the fight.

    Maybe Golovkin's team are actually considering a catchweight that is not 155lb? Say 158/157?

    If GGG can make that without draining himself it might be worthwhile, financially, to do so.

    And maybe Canelo's team are digging their heels in and thinking that if Team GGG is confident in making 158/157 then Golovkin isn't going to be weakened enough and are holding out for 155?

    Just speculating.

    Well, he is. 160 is the limit for MW. So anything over is then SMW.

    i've never considered a fighter weighing 175 fight night to be a light middleweight, he's still a light hevyweight in my eyes.

    Sulaiman in his interview to ESPN Deportes said that he expects to hear an update from GB and K2 during a conference call tomorrow.
