    It has been over 3 years.

    GGG was fighting for the interim title so I am not counting that. Do you guys see this as negotiating or simply a joke that takes away the legitimacy of the belt?

    If you aren't competing at middleweight, how can you be a middleweight champion?

    The latter. I have no problem with Canelo fighting at 155 if that what he and Oscar want to do, i dont mind him dragging welterweights up for some easy cherrypicks either if thats what he wants to do but to demand middleweights face Canelo at 155 for the 160 belt i do mind. And when you look deeper and see how much weight Canelo puts back on from weigh in to fight night it makes it plan and clear that it is just a way to gain an advantage over opposition. So to do that for a world title is a joke really.
