    I hear that on fight night a 155lb Canelo ends up weighing more than a fight night 160 Golovkin. Ive never been privvy to fightnight weights so dont know this as fact but ive seen others mentioning it and nobody really questioning it.

    So if this is true what great advantage is Canelo gifting to Golovkin if he were to allow him to weigh in on the Friday at 160? Because Alverez would be bigger on the night.

    Canelo 167 - Mosley 164

    Canelo 171 - Lara 166

    Canelo 172 - Trout 171

    Canelo 170 - Angulo 174 or it might be the other way round (some sources say it was this and others say it was actually Canelo who weighed 174, either way Canelo was 170 minimum.

    And he was obviously at least 170 when he fought Kirkland and Cotto too.

    Golovkin 173 - Rubio 181

    Golovkin 170 - Macklin 170

    Golovkin 168 - Proksa 166

    Golovkin 167 - Rosado ? Not sure how much Rosado weighed but he was 175 for Quillin

    Golovkin 170 - Monroe 172

    Golovkin 170 - Lemieux 175

    He was close to 170 for Floyd 30 day weigh in, Canelo is an absolute fraud.
    He sure ain't ready for 160 :lol::lol:

    canelo has never fought at 160.
    moving up from 155 would be giving an advantage to triple bumlovkin

    Canelo is definitely the smaller man and makes 155 comfortably, GGG can not make the weight without losing muscle mass.

    Was that easy enough for you to understand?

    No problem. Like I said his fight night weights for Kirkland and Cotto weren't given but he was obviously at least 170 in both of those fights.

    Right. Hence the Fraud comment. Maybe cinnamon hasn't "fought" st 160 officially but he sure has weighed it and as we saw in the second post, has weighed even more that GGG plenty of times. Oh no, but he's never fought at middleweight, right? Has middleweight belts but claims he's not one himself, right? Oh the contradictions....lol
