    They would both have to be under a certain weight (168-170). The fact that the weight would be below where Canelo normally rehydrates to would make it more than fair and impossible for him to label unfair.

    Yep, just have them weigh under 160 the day before and under 168 before putting on gloves.

    If 3G is so good why can't he move up and capture belts at 168 , 175 , 200?

    Roy Jones is 45 years old and he's doing it now

    Why can't 3Bums even move up one division? Especially when there is nothing at MW.

    Both Cotto and Canelo are bigger names than Ward. Froch is retired. What's there at SMW?

    He ain't getting no Canelo/Cotto fight.

    Anybody with two brain cells to rub together knows that. Using their names is simply a way to excuse him from feasting on MW bums and not seeking a challenge.

    Yes, he is. I'm pretty sure they'll reach a deal with Canelo somewhere around 157. And what challenge is there for him at 168 other than Ward who's not even fighting at 168 now and hasn't beaten anyone in 4 years? Andy Lee would be a better fight than Degale or Chudinov.

    Roy is not getting any real belts and has never beaten top cruisers or HWs. Actually, no natural middleweight has successfully moved to LHW or higher.

    You haters are so desperate for GGG to lose.

    Nah. He's just mentally challenged. You'll just have to excuse him.

    Who are you ? A hybrid of Tom Loffer/Freddie Roach/ Oscar De la Hoya?

    Ruiz was a top HW when Roy beat him.

    Toney successfully went up beyond LHW and became IBF CW Champ.

    If GGG is so good , why won't he move up a single division?

    Roy Jones is doing it now and he's an old man.

    No, better solution.

    Agree to the CW, but demand rehydration clause as a counter.

    Same per pound penalty, then come in 4 over, and Cnaelo comes in 6 over, and GGG walks away with a bigger purse, the WBC title, and his 22nd consecutive KO win and 15th consecutive title defense. :good

    Still too difficult.. the simplest would be Cotto and Canelo stay at 154 where they belong if both fighters think their Body isn't ready for 160.. simple as that :deal

    Why are you so upset with GGG to fight at 160 and unify the Division?

    Why do you want him to fight at 155 or at 168... where is your Problem Mr. 1 brain cell?
