    Canelo is not finished at 154 you say?

    What was with the 155 thing then?

    Truth is he is anywhere but 160 and for one very good reason - because GGG is there. :yep

    No title shot at his weight class would seem to be the obvious answer, a non title fight 1lb above where you fight normally isn't jumping division's the idea people try to make it seem like it is, is some of the dumbest stuff ever.

    He fought for the 160 pound title. One division up from the 154 pound title. If GGG wasn't there he would have happily defended the title against 160 pound fighters. But GGG is there and he is untouchable at 160. Everybody knows that, including Canelo. :yep

    Fought a JMW who was the champ at 155 for a title and offered to defend it at the weight he won it.
    I can see if he won a title at 160 then tried to defend it at 155.

    As far as GGG Alvarez was fighting at 155/5 before GGG was brought up realistically last Nov and is continuing to fight there afterward as much as they try to make it seem like its something different the dude is doing the same sh!t before and after GGG was brought up so saying he'd be at 160 is just a false opinion when there is no evidence to say otherwise what MWs has Alvarez ever tried to fight? He's been fighting other JMWs like himself outside of Khan.

    Well let's put this argument to rest very easily:

    Canelo could have fought any of those guys I listed.

    Instead he fought a midget in Khan and is dropping back to 154. Clearly he doesn't fancy his chances at 160 against anybody.

    Golovkin would obliterate Lara and Cotto. Cotto had the chance to fight him and ran like a chicken instead.

    :hi:

    :deal Here we go.

    Oscar is sucking the extra weight out of Canelo as we speak.

    He doesn't wanna fight at MW. That's fine. If LMW is his division let him fight there.

    That's fine. But then people mustn't argue that he could take on Lemieux, Rubio, Geale etc at a proper 160. Clearly he himself doesn't believe that he can.

    Yes. I will LOL if he drains himself into a corpse. Seems to me even 155 was becoming uncomfortable for him.

    Not a surprise, that khan post fight spectacle was all bs. Fishnet and his cash cow don't want no part of GGG. It's up to GGG to find legit opponents, even if it means moving up

    The people who still support Canelo are Runhugger Jr fans because that's the philosophy Runhugger Jr adhered to.

    Canelo was at one time a real Fcking warrior.....The Khan fight was already bad enough but hey I could almost give him a pass but then the smack talking and belt dropping :-(

    Perhaps after this fight he goes back to being a warrior but right now I have no desire for this fight:verysad
