    Apparently, the middleweight division is a division between 154.1 pounds to 160 pounds. I never knew that.

    He's the true lineal champion. He also happens to be the A-Side. Triple Duck can agree to his terms or not. Why is it so hard for Triple Duck fans to understand the situation?

    Of course he is. Fat boy is just waiting for GGG to get old like I've been saying for months.

    There are no 'terms' for a Mandatory fight. Now, if this was an optional fight I might agree with you but it isn't. If they can't reach a deal it goes to purse bid or Canelo will disgracefully drop the belt.

    It is that simple.

    so canelo holds the wbc mw belt....that he won at a cw....from a guy who won the belt at a cw....lol.....he is ranked by websites and boxing mags as the number 1 mw.....how is this definitive prove that a guy that hasn't fought above a 155 limit is a legit 160lb fighter? it doesn't

    bumluvscans fans still telling ggg to say no to a cw in what would be the biggest fight he could ever make in his career and his breakout fight......unreal

    Did all those publications make a HUGE misprint? Should Canelo be rated at 154 instead?

    FIXED!! :good

    Seriously, I'm not a fan of catchweights, but make no mistake about it, Canelo is "The" MW champion. Not Golovkin. Who's better at MW is another question

    as an aside: Danny Jacobs is ranked far to high at MW IMHO

    you cant try to change it all you want fellas

    belt was won at a cw from a guy who won it at a cw....rumors of cotto/jmm lol.....like cotto was ever a real mw.....face it....your hero rules a weak division run by welters and jr middles......and your hero cant even commit to fighting on canelos terms even though he needs it badly

    So Canelo is a mw who is in the same division as GGG. Good :good
    The rest of your post is irrelevant since nobody forced Cotto and Canelo at gun point to fight in said division.

    lol....keep hoping canelo is going to say "ya know what ggg...yer right its 160 and im a mw so lets fight at 160"....keep crossing your fingers...you can dream cant ya? and you might win powerball tonight too! lol....

    hey if you keep saying it on eastside forums maybe it will come true! "Canelo is a mw...canelo is a mw...canelo is a mw"!!! good luck

    guy wins a title at a cw against a blown up welterweight and now all of the sudden hes a legit mw!!!
