How is it a way to hate any other fighter would be talked about worse for the, blatant flip flopping. GGG and his team were still saying that ANYBODY quote in 13/14" as well. I don't think anyone should be mad either way GGG is an exciting fighter but his level of comp doesn't match his mouth. It's only so many passes you get before it's just excuses.
That quote is from the Rosado fight I believe, so whenever that happened. Maybe it's 2013, I don't think he was saying that in 14, that's when he "changed his tune".
Middleweight limit is 160lbs, no less. If Canelo wants to be at 155lbs, then he can come in at 155lbs while GGG comes in @ 160 since that's acceptable within the middleweight limit of 160. However, he wants GGG to come in at 155 also, below the middleweight limit, at which point this is no longer a middleweight fight. Absurd if you ask me. If you're not going to fight at middleweight limit, why be considered middleweight champion? Might as well vacate the title.
The absurd thing is that Canelo wants to fight for a MW belt at basically JMW limit. If this was a no title bout just to let fans overjoy for a great matchup any agreed weight would be acceptable.
Under most cirucmstances I would rip Canelo for this, but GGG claimed he could make 154 and was trying to cherry pick an old, tiny Mayweather. So if he could make 154, then 155 shoulnd't be problem.
