Of course they where middleweight fights, 155 Caneloweight was at middleweight. However, they where middleweight catch weight fights in which they where held to drain opponents of said weight. If the role was reversed you’d be screaming GGG as a weight draining cheat. Again you obviously want to ignore deck stacking of fights when it suits your agenda.
Middleweight catch weight fights. Either way career 160 fighters where being drained outside of the glass chinned welterweight dragged you to Caneloweight.
It took me about two hours to understand this pile of pidgeon English. Lara and Trout aren;'t household names in their own living rooms! No Cotto wasn't lineal champ as he had never fought a valid middleweight bout, yet was going round claiming to be champion. There was never any talk about a catchweight fight between GGG and Cotto, because Cotto was too busy feasting on GGG's leftovers and draining them to ridiculous weights to do it. But even if there was, there is no reason on earth why GGG should accept that. Cotto is the one claiming to be a middleweight champ so he needs to be prepared to defend against the top middleweights at middleweight. Spit or get off the pot as the saying goes.
155 is at middleweight which is what my argument has been for ages regarding Canelo having fought at middleweight prior to facing GGG, yet the same people defending Canelo and Cotto for weight draining middleweights in defence of their 160 belt, where the infact same people claiming Canelo as a 154 guy. Not that you’d take it in.
canelo is a 147, 154, 160, 168 and 175 winner guy, last time I looked. it is 3G who is a 160 guy. but soon 3G will be a guy at more weights than Canelo. The weight will be over soon. Weights I mean oop. So thats another wait off your mind. And no catch. Nice.
@TKO6 @Odins beard all I hear from you guys is excuses, you cant in 1 sentence claimed ducked nobody will fight then when someone offers to fight say no because the bigger star dictating terms.. If you wanna make the fights you make the fights, Ggg and his fans make excuses... if he can demolish Cotto why he duck?
Not at all. 155, 157 and 159 are certainly all middleweight fights. However the middleweight division as YOU have already stated is 154.1 to 160. Not 154.1 to 155, 154.1 to 157 or 154.1 to 159, that is called a catch weight. However you try to spin it Canelo (in his first reign)and Cotto, especially Cotto deliberately stacked the deck by draining fighters to defend a title under the actual weight limit. It’s really not hard to understand, I bet you vote Labour aswell.
