WBC 30 day weigh in shows that Lil G is ducking Canelo at 155!

Right?

 

Yeah but that window is closing on him. Did you see how he looked at the 152 weigh in for Floyd? Well soon he will start looking like that at 155.

 

Maybe...

How is draining stacking the deck? He's not moving up because he's short for the higher divisions. He'll be a thick, slow, short fighter at middleweight, let alone 168. He's not scared, just too short.

I was wondering the same, no one has answered. Because that means a) they're drained 30 days out or b) they're packing on 10 lbs of fat and muscle overnight!

 

All the guys he is fighting are 154 pounders and now lower. atsch On the night of the fights he rehydrates to what a person who would weigh in at 160 rehydrates to. While his opponents rehydrate to what normal 154 guys do. And don't mention Angulo's weight. He is a defenseless caveman regardless of weight.

 

Trout was like 170 to Canelo's 172(?). I think too much rehydration will backfire, because he'd be draining 15+ lbs, that puts him at a disadvantage. This is assuming he's fighting at 154. At 155, he has the advantage because he no longer stresses over that last lbs.

That's why guys like Pacquaio and Mayweather, this generation's best, only rehydrate 2-8 lbs; they're most effective when they aren't cutting too much weight. That's why Golovkin is so effective, he isn't cutting much weight.

 

Dude Alvarez is a JMW who rehydrates to around the exact same weight as most JMWs and MWs, most of this weight stuff is made up by fans.

Since 10" Alvarez has fought Cintron who competed at JMW before him, Mosley a former JMW Champ, Trout who was a current JMW Champ, Lara who is currently a JMW Champ, Cotto who was a JMW Champ and won a MW Title, Kirkland and Angulo are career JMWs, outside of Lopez and Khan who are all these smaller fighters?

Or is a JMW fighting a JMW now picking on small guys.

 

Canelo vs Cotto was the biggest size difference I've seen in a non-heavyweight bout in years, perhaps since Corrales vs Garcia ('99). He was taller than Cotto, bigger on the waist down, bigger on the waist up, bigger head, just bigger. They were not 1 but 2 divisions apart. This rehydration nonsense makes the weight divisions pointless. Canelo needs to fight at 160 or vacate. Plain and simple.

 

It's common knowledge that Cotto moved from 140 to 147 because he couldn't make weight anymore and was fighting at around 160lbs in ring. Subsequently he had difficulty making 147 and moved up to 154lbs. Therefore it is obvious that Cotto's fighting weight these days is AT LEAST 160lbs.

Given the fight with Alvarez was at 155, even taking into account Alvarez's rehydration, the weight difference can't have been as much as people want to believe it was. It's illogical to think that Cotto was less than about 165 in there or to think that Alvarez, having weighed in at 155, was more than about 175.

🐵🙈🙉🙊🐒

 

At what point are fans going to actually call on Golovkin to back up his hype, up to this point when actual good fighters are on the table he has side stepped or made excuses.

Gennandy doesn't have the resume or the history of pushing for or taking big fight's to be given a pass THIS long.

 

Wait, so Canelo trying to use the weight issue as a bargaining tool is cowardly but GGG doing the same thing is a smart move? :huh

 

Whoever denied Golovkin could make 155? None of Golovkins reasons for refusing 155 included "I can't make 155".

I've said several times before Golovkin could make 155.

 

If your rehydration over 10 pounds then something is off.

 

This is why I'm a strong advocate to getting rid of 154 and 168 weight classes. That would be a start to solving the problem.
