    It's totally BS! Canelo fights like a robot. He got two gifted decisions. Lara and Cotto beat him clearly.

    How could he be rated as No.1 Middleweight by ESPN?

    Canelo is a legit MW. He weighs in at fight night at a similar weight to GGG and other MWs.

    Canelo and Oscar asking GGG to fight below 160 for the MW belt is a joke to the sport and a blatant attempt to weaken an opponent.

    Oscar recently wrote an open letter to Mayweather saying that he avoided tough fights and, unlike Oscar himself, Floyd didn't fully challenge himself. Oscar and Canelo are now making Canelo, who used to resemble Oscar more so in taking tough challenges, look more like Floyd.

    Ratings as well as judges, are bought and paid for by Ginger.

    I haven't followed all the media hype but i will say one thing, if Canelo and Glolovkin don't fight by year end (2016) the boxing industry is in serious trouble....... No one wants that Irish spastic over in the UFC taking all the headlines.

    Golovkin should never agree for a cw below 160 if they fight for the WBC belt

    middleweight limit is 160

    that's actually a good points, Mcgregor is going from strength to strength , talks trash but backs it up and is pretty exciting. I don't really like him but he sells well and represents a treat

    I thought its all about competing who´s the best. Only very uneducated person would say Canelo is the man or true champion at 160. He isn´t even top 5, he will loose against Golovkin, Quillin, Lee, Saunders and Lemieux. Why even talk about linear belts if its only a fake one?

    This sh... is getting really pathetic. I have followed the sport for a long time, maybe it´s time to move..
