    So would you rather Canelo do that.. Or fight the bum of the month club for his whole career like GGG has? Since you don't wanna answer my 1st question because it's an obvious answer.

    It's not that important to me and I don't need to see a video. It was just a thought and could have been answered with simple response. I would have been satisfied with that.

    Guys like Jacobs and Lemieux and probably even dudes like Murray and Brook would run through Canelo's resume like a bull in a china shop.

    What a rat you are, you say you've never seen him rocked, which was probably a lie, everyone knows about the Cotto incident, but if you didn't, then you either choose to ignore the evidence, or remain blissfully unaware because you don't want any doubts creeping into your idiotic All Mayweather Opponents>>>>GGG line of thought. We'll see who has the last laugh come September.:D

    Geale didn't come in at 160 against GGG either.. What's your point?

    Hey CST80, you got me twisted because I could care less about whether Canelo got rocked or not. It was just a comment in which I wasn't looking for any proof as to whether he did or not. Now, me and you talk and we go back and forth which I have no problem with but I don't call you names and I would appreciate the same respect that I give you.

    My point:

    "I believe the champion can fight at whatever weight he wants to, as long as it's not over the limit of that weight class, but he shouldn't take that advantage and make that [challenger] technically not be in that weight class. Daniel is a true 160-pound champion. And he's honest, the last three pounds were really tough. But he rehydrated and he was who he was out there," Shaw said.

    http://www.*******.com/geale-says-he-100-draining-down--92007

    "Regardless, the 157 pounds will make for a drained and weak Geale, which makes for a much safer route to a Cotto-Canelo fight than would've been the case otherwise. The Australian is quick-fisted, smart and agile, despite what transpired against Gennady Golovkin. Ordinarily, Geale would give this version of Cotto fits. Not this time. Not under these circumstances."

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...ing-column-drained-geale-is-perfect/71949576/

    "Geale (31-4, 16 KOs) clearly looked weight-drained, having struggled to make the contracted weight of 157lb."

    https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2...-and-calls-for-superfight-with-canelo-alvarez

    "The drama prior to this fight is the 158 lbs catch weight that Cotto imposed against Daniel Geale, a legitimate middleweight . Cotto is the so-called lineal middleweight champion. He is the man who beat the man at the division wherein the suppose weight limit is 160 lbs.Many question about the catch-weight specially on Cotto because the 158 lbs limit will give him advantage."

    http://theboxingdiary.com/2015/06/miguel-cotto-wipes-out-power-drained-daniel-geale.html

    Oh, and best of all, Cotto's OWN COACH:

    “I give him a lot of credit. Too many people would have ignored the contract and been over 157,” Roach said to ESPN.com. “I take my hat off to him. But for the first five rounds, we’re going all body (attack). He seemed fragile and very, very thin.”

    I thought you were acting like a little bit of a rat, you said you'd never seen him rocked, I provided evidence that he was in fact rocked, and then you said you didn't care to see it. I don't consider rat to be all that offensive, but fine if you took it that way, then I'm sorry.

    So you're not disputing Cotto wrecked Geale. Thanks.

    The savage illegal very intentional headbutt that preceded the left hook helped immensely.
