    And GGG has how many fights at 168? That seems to be a legit excuse for you to use to defend Canela..the lineal champ at MW

    Canela has several fights as a MW. He can fight anywhere between 155-160.

    I think you'll find 155 is middleweight not light middleweight Stevo Foxo.

    To be the next Hagler, he'd have to move down to welterweight and rule there for a decade before moving back to his natural weightclass.

    Also, don't be ridiculous. Golovkin can't knock out guys forty pounds heavier than him who fight at cruiserweight like Glowacki, Usyk, and Lebedev. Kovalev would wreck him.

    Trinidad and De La Hoya? I don't know man. They were both 5'11" 72" and that classically has meant large middleweight to supermiddleweight dimensions. They probably had to cut 15-20 pounds to get down to welterweight just like Hopkins was living like a monk to make middleweight as a 6'1" natural light heavyweight. I know that Oscar made super featherweight as old as 21, but I really think that he was cutting a lot of weight even then and ultimately grew into a natural middleweight frame.

    Plus, it's hard to knock him for fighting Trinidad and De La Hoya when Hagler's big fights were against Leonard, a former welter, Hearns another former welter, and Duran a former lightweight. Just like Monzon's big wins are against Griffith and Napoles.

    Ouch, in fairness Trinidad had slowly moved up in weight defeating solid competition in the process....

    Size advantage was the last problem Tito had issues with that night

    I think Tito was more suited to the weight than DLH obviously, where did Oscar start? @ lightweight?

    Tito started at WW and ended up @ MW, for a guys his height with his power its a natural progression overtime

    Hagler fought numerous quality 160 pounders like Hearns, Mugabi, Vito, A.

    Tito's not stopping Martin Murray. And neither is Hopkins.

    Tito was still making 147 into his late 20s. He was without a doubt not a Middleweight.
