What advantage is Alverez talking about???

I don't even understand how Canelo can humanly rehydrate like 15+ pounds. There should be something illegal about it.

 

I agree. They should have a 10 pound limit.

 

Why not 250 for canelo, it's literally just as believable with just as much merit as your bs 180 # you just made up

Canelo has NEVER been higher than 172 on fight night and he did that twice, against trout and angulo who were both bigger than canelo is every sense of the word. Why do many of you lie about every single topic ?

 

They both weigh the same on fight night. This is the most salient fact about this prolonged weight "issue" argument.

Fighting at the 160lb MW limit will actually help Canelo as he won't have to boil off the extra 5lbs.

 

Canelo does not have to boil down to 155, he can still make 154 but the 155 came in to play for the angulo fight and canelo has stayed at that weight, fighting many times there. I'm not 100% sure of the organizations real rules about weighing in. I forget what 155 was really about, I know for the cotto fight they agreed to 155 so it was all a real mw championship fight, nothing from 154 up for grabs.

Can you weigh in at anything or are there still minimums for they fading out organizations ?

 

This is embarrassing. I have nothing against Canelo's abilities, but he ought to be ashamed of himself. And the WBC, is WBS for not stripping him.
Either dump the belt, or fight.
The shame is, I think this could be a good match.

 

I always thought that you had to weigh above the upper limit of the division immediately below the weight class you are fighting in. E.g. if you are fighting at 160 then you can weigh between 155-160.

I could be wrong. I follow boxing religiously, but i haven't paid attention to the organisations and their rules in years.

 

No, you just have to weigh less than the limit

eg Roy Jones won the heavyweight title @ 193lbs

 

Just in case op missed it

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?
