    Who is GB? When Teddy Atlas says Canelo will never fight GGG and Ray Mancini says Canelo needs to take off his dress, you've got issues.

    Canelo hides behind the 155-pound line, even though he's the middleweight champion. Fight at the weight limit of your belt!

    After Kahn, Canelo needs to man up, or watch them strip his belt. I'd take away his Mexican "Chicano" card too as the past generation to great Mexican fights seldom avoided big fights.

    Canelo is waiting till GGG gets busted up a little bit and gets older, then he will fight him. I have a feeling lot of fighters are doing the same too.

    Canelo has to beat Khan before they start negotiations.

    Wait until after May 7th. He took a voluntary defense and GOLOVKIN ALLOWED IT.

    I made my choice but i think Oscar is as much to blame if not more to blame for this 155 nonsense. And i also dont think this is just about GGG. Jacobs, Lee, Saunders, Quillin and a couple more. They dont seem to say anything about any of these people, proper top quality middleweights. Khan next, then talk of Pacquiao.

    GGG fight deffo wont happen next. Or ever.

    Canelo 'Cinnamon Bum' Alvarez is a disgrace. He gives cinnamon a bad name, and I love cinnamon. But due to liver problems I can no longer enjoy copious amounts cassia cinnamon on my porridge.

    Really comes down to what he does after the Khan fight and beyond, i mean realistically did anybody say Canelo was a MW when he fought Lara at 155 or that he was ducking then? If not there's no legit way you can argue he is now.

    Well back then he didn't hold the WBC 160 belt.

    If he doesn't want to fight 160lb fighters at the weight of 160lb then he should relinquish the belt.

    I would assume what you do with the title or who you win it from is vastly more important.

    A better fight is a better fight i mean realistically what set of matchups sounds better
    Canelo vs Heiland, Johnson,Rosado at 160 or Alvarez vs Charlo,Thurman, Smith at 155.

    There is literally only one fight anybody is mentioning at 160 for Alvarez, i just find it funny people make it seem like 160 is just so special when from top to bottom.its one of the weakest. And historically most catch weight title fights happen in the middle weight division.

    But 160 is a hell of alot better than the current roster at 154.

    I would bet my last pound that if Golovkin wasn't there then Canelo would be up fighting at 160.

    155 isn't a weight and it's bull**** to expect middleweights to fight at this made up division when defending a 160 belt.
