    Watched the us stream last night and they claimed around 170 pounds.
    How is he making 155 and then adding 15/20 pounds in 24 hours ?

    The question is, in a weight division that's 160 why would he drain himself to 155?

    The answer, so he has an excuse not to fight Golovkin.

    he looked close to 175 in there

    he needs to fight ggg or give up the middleweight title

    I don't think canelo eats for 1 or 2 days before the weigh in. after he weighs in he probably rents out an entire buffet for himself

    He was close to 175 that's why he wouldn't weigh in again he was a El Pollo Rojo Porker alright. As my dear old Dad would say " Canelo is all wind & Wee Wee "

    LOTS of guys do it.

    Frankly id be surprised if it was only 15lbs.

    Khan probably put on 10 and he's a WW really

    Canelo is built like an ox, and all that muscle helpts him retain a lot of water.
    At the age of 25 he can dehydrate up to 20lbs with relative ease.

    Oscar and Canelo should be named after Gustavo Fring's restaraunt in Breaking Bad
