"Canelo has to move up" -wrong. Lemme cut you off there. He actually doesn't, ever.

    Tony Bellew did headline but that was a poor card except for the main events some fighters do well in there home city like Warrington Leeds, Bellew smith bros /Liverpool, Crolla/Manchester, Burns/Glasgow etc.

    I'm British so I obviously like that UK is the hub of boxing but I hate Hearns way of throwing everything on PPV and it will stop once they start losing there belts.

    I dont think his body will hold out at 154 for the duration of his career.

    Sooner or later it will catch up with him. He is young right now, but his re hydration weight indicates that he is not fighting at a sustainable weight for his body type.

    Him at 154 is clearly a strategic move to avoid ggg. If the 160 division was full of weak fighters he would of moved up by now.

    He will with the help of duiretics and once he wins his belt his back up to Canelo weight lol the everyone has to fight him there again. These guys are smart smart duckers.

    Doesn't need to, just has to win the belt and defend at Canelo weight, wait till someone beats GGG or he starts slipping then move up

    So, what time is the weigh-in? Let's see if he can succesfully make 154 again after 3 years as (not a) middleweight.
