    Except there's no way Canelo can make 147, while Spence Jr. still can.

    Ok. I’m not focusing on physiques. Julio César Chavez and Hamed could knock dudes out cold and looked soft...

    This isn’t about whether Canelo vs Spence can’t be made. This about Canelo vs a Heavyweight comparison near 230lbs in Wilder. Whereas Spence’s bone density is lighter than Canelo along with difference in height is the reason Whyte Spence walks around 180lbs and Canelo about 185lbs.

    Canelo is always in tip top shape, never bloated. Perhaps the one and only boxer whom always shares sparring sessions since 2010 found on YouTube and had the most workout grinds on social media than any other boxer working hard. Canelo isn’t BJS whom walks around 200lbs easily and bloated. Golovkin and Canelo are about the same in weight. Canelo haters always made it seem he was a Cruiserweight therefore Golovkin and Jacobs are Heavyweights?

    What's that have to do with anything? When he went up 2 weight classes to fight Fishnets, was Fishnets able to make 147 then? WTF? Why you scared for Spence?

    It's hilarious how all Canelo's haters made it seem like he was a cruiserweight but then when he fights Jacobs he has no problem doing a same day weigh-in while Jacobs skips it (for both GGG and Canelo).

    No, I wrote that there is not much weight separating. Stop being a twat.

    Ok, i hear ya. I wasn't addressing the Canelo vs. a HW part. That was just silly from LL. Don't get hung up on haters words or attempts at logic. It's 100% pointless.

    OK...first I was scared, now I'm a twat because YOU think Spence and Canelo are the same size. Here's a freebie.... learn to choose better phrasing of words. I don't care to dumb myself down for you lots who prefer to simply everything.

    Canelo is a great fighter but him still fighting welterweights has to stop. He has fought at 154,160 and 168, he needs to be picking from that crop of fighters. I don't mind Spence or anyone going up and challenging themselves like guys in the past have but, Canelo actively looking to fight 147 guys is not a good look.

    Canelo isn't actively looking to fight 147 guys. He's not calling out Spence, Spence has said several times that he would like to fight Canelo, not the other way around.

    Lets look at how much credit Spence Jr got for facing Mikey, Canelo got for facing Khan, Loma for facing Rigo, 3G for facing Brook. Enough of these 'jump' fights.

    If Spence was serious about a fight w/ Canelo, he would move up and do it proper. IMO :)

    Spence weighed 162 against Lo Greco which was a catchweight fight a couple of pounds over the welterweight limit. But he must walk around about 180 and he looks very solidly built at that weight and he could easily come in on fight night at 170 which is probably his natural weight and the one he should be fighting when he stops draining himself down to beat up on blown up 135 and 140 pounders. He's very sinewy with seemingly very low body fat on fight night down at 147. He's also has a 1.5'' height and reach advantage over Clenelo.

    Clenelo probably weighs close to 180 on fight night now and his sugar daddy Oscar says he walks around at about 185-190 (more like 190 IMO)

    Donkey is up in the 220s now and he has an 11'' height advantage and 13'' reach advantage over Clenelo. That said, despite the huge physical advantages Clenelo would be given away, 40 + pounds in weight, 11'' in height, and 13'' in reach, I still got him via brutal KO over Donkey if that one ever comes to pass.

    Lightbulb moment lol so this is why Golovkin said of Brook that he's no middleweight?despite weighing the same or more than Golovkin,Kell Brook wasn't a natural middleweight in Golovkins opinion.
