    Why Walters was stripped of his title for being 1 lb over and Canelo didn't get strip? Is it just a punishment to Walters and could the sanctioning body include Walters to a title eliminator again?
     
  2. When has Canelo come to a title fight over weight?

    Canelo didn't defend his title weighting at 155, but no punishment at all? For example when he beat Lara who is the top contender for his title, that took Lara's turn of a title shot even though Lara lost was not within a the LMW title range.

    Canelo doesn't have a title. He lost his belt to Mayweather, and he fought Lara after Mayweather. Who and how are you supposed to punish a non title holder for fight at a contracted weight 1 pound over the limit?

    You are right. I was confused because it seemed all of Canelo's fight are 12 round matches.
