    155 is middleweight. Middleweight is anything over 154 up to a maximum of 160.

    Alvarez has fought as a middleweight his last 5 fights, is the lineal middleweight champ, and won and defended the WBC middleweight title. Until he goes down to 154 or less he's clearly a middleweight.

    Is there still an argument about this?

    155 to 160 is middleweight, end of story.

    If he chooses to fight at 155 instead of the 160 limit that is his business.

    Otherwise he needs to FO back to 154.

    I'd like to see him ruin his internal organs getting to 154 a few more times ... if he can.

    Pac- retired, got Senator problems
    Charlo brothers- HUGE names? lol
    Spence- high risk low reward, not a smart business decision
    Andrade- see spence
    Vanes- 96,999 PPV buys if you're lucky
    Lara rematch- does worse than the first fight
    Lubin- don't know much about him, I'm a clueless casual. 96,999 PPV buys if you're lucky
    Vargas-Brook winner- Brook won't take the fight. Vargas maybe gets you 500k buys....maybe
    Margarito- lol now you're getting desperate.
    Mayweather- Lineal at 152 or no fight. Canelo gets no more than 10% of the purse. He got Conor problems anyway
