    You're arguing Canelo wanted a unification MW bout at 155. You were incorrect.

    You think he's a drug cheat because you dislike him.

    Regardless of the belts he still wanted Golovkin to go to 155, it's not like it's even half way like 157/158, 155 is a weight Canelo had fought at previous.

    What proof do you have that Canelo wanted or demanded that GGG fight him at 155?

    Bingo. Also he requested 156 lb against Cotto, Cotto wanted 155 lb and Canelo decided to concede. But for GGG, suddenly he prefers to lose the extra pound ...

    That was before the Cotto fight. He was preparing to fight Cotto at 155 when he gave this interview. At this time, you have to remember that 155 is his target weight for that camp and when giving his interview he's in the process of training and reaching that weight (for the Cotto fight). I see how you interpret this though and believe that this proves that he demanded GGG make 155 after he won the title. I do not believe that this statement from before the Cotto fight proves that he demanded GGG make 155 after he won the title.

    I now know you're a troll account. You have shown your hand with this Rocky Fielding nonsense as we're now in a position wherein Lemieux looks like a much better option.

    Do you sense any sarcasm in that post ? What about the topic The Abominable Cinnamon Strawberry Picker: Cherries Don't Hang Low Enough For Canelo. is that a more acceptable place for you ?

    Well he did demand 155 he says so in this video.

    However after he beat Khan he did infact say Golovkin was next and infact did say he wasn't concerned about the weight and would fight at 160, however..........He instead vacated.

    You hit on something important, that after he beat Cotto he no longer was concerned about the weight. A "demand" is something in a negotiation, like "we will not budge from this position unless you agree to this". There's no evidence that Canelo or GB ever seriously tried to impose a catchweight on GGG. As you've indicated, by the time that serious negotiations occured between Canelo and GGG, there was no catchweight demand. It's unclear to me what kind of talks GB and GGG had in those 15 days after the Khan fight. To what extent a catchweight was talked about or demanded we'll probably never know, but frankly I don't think Canelo was in any position to make the GGG fight after Khan due to the 15 day timetable and the court cases involving his former promoter.

    When he said Golovkn was next, that was after the Chavez fight, not after the Khan fight.

    I'd hope so but with your rampant fanboyism in past posts regarding Canelo it's hard to tell the difference between that post and your allegedly serious ones. People can't tell the difference between you joking and being serious about Canelo. Let that sink in.

    And I tend to stay away from flame threads like that which is why I haven't posted in it.
