    James5000 has a better chance of getting declared sane before this fight actually happens.

    Is it really his fault Cotto came up to MW to take on a shot Sergio? He became lineal champ, and of course Canelo follows suit.

    It's not about beating smaller guys, it's about smaller guys trying to be middleweights when it's convenient and then bowing down when GGG says "bring me my belts!"

    They were just chasing the money like all fighters do. GGG would move up to 168 to fight a cripple for huge $$$$ but he wouldn't do it if it meant getting beat up by Froch, CEJ, Degale or Ward

    I don't get the fascination with him moving up to 168. He's got unfinished business at 160 and there is no reason to pack on 8 pounds now for money.

    And don't mention CEJ. We all know he conveniently lost his pen when the contract was put in front of him.

    GGG would have his scalp alreadyhad he not been the big-mouthed chickensh!t he is.

    Golovkin comes in at 159 during the official weigh ins do 160 weight division. Canelo comes in at 155 for official 154 weigh ins (except the last fight). I'd say they are about the sane size. Canelo is a bit shorter but bulkier and more stout. His short arms are his only wrakes, as his stamina will improve tremendously once he stops cutting an obscene amount of weight and fights at his natural weight of 160. Those 5 extra pounds will do wonders for his performance.

    Urgh, the whole size thing.

    Murray was bigger than GGG, but if you're going to say "only fighting smaller guys doesn't get you credit" then why would anyone at 168 then want to fight him? I mean, surely you'd give those guys stick too in that case

    Canelo comes in at 155 for 155 official weigh ins and 154 for 154 and GGG enters the ring at 180+ for 160 fights.

    I have already proven GGG is just as big (probably bigger) than Martin Murray and Murray is pillow ✊ and a weight bully just like GGG

    The rocks in his head are the least of his worries.
