Has any other top level fighter ever claimed victory of a weigh in?

    I mean... Come on. \_(''-)_/

    Is Canelo serious? People who claim a fighter "won the weigh in" on these forums usually get mocked, and rightfully so.

    I think it will be as good a fight as the first, but that is a ridiculous thing to say.

    He "defeated the weigh in", so the Weigh in...lost?

    Well he's probably justifying the rematch.....

    GGG won the first fight.
    Canelo won the weigh in.

    :lol:

    Froch vs Groves 2 I felt he beat him in the face off with one phrases "I already beat you" it looked like it dawned on him it was true he had lost.

    Vitali won many fights at the weigh in, imo. As did Iron Mike. Not likely that Canelo intimidated GG, but you asked.

    Does this apply to those who say the same about Golovkin?

    Adalaide Byrd probably scored it for Canelo, so did Hopkins, but De La Hoya was too busy collecting kichen utensils from the buffet at the moment that he didn't score it.

    You are so funny. I think you're wasting your time here and should be pursuing a career as a clown or some sort of comedian.

    I don't think Canelo won that at all if there was infact any winner.

    GGG was his usual self, Canelo was screwing his face up, looked like he was projecting nervous aggression and to top it off he fell off his chair.

    To me that wouldn't equate to a victory in all honesty.
