    if you let someone fight for the fight belt at a cw and they win it....we should probably figure that the guy will feel entitled to defend it at a cw if he feels like it.....

    the problem starts and ends with it being allowed to be defended at a cw.....it is what it is...we cant change it or stop it.....stop blaming canelo....

    WE can't change it, but the people directly involved can. And Golovkin will. You describe the situation as a problem, so you should support this.

    He could have shown us all how much of a Super-Welterweight he really is by accepting Khan's demand of 153 lb's.

    Anyway, he said he'd be 165 lb's on fight night for Khan to show us how he's not a middleweight. I'll be looking forward to that.

    the situation is a problem...i know...the main prob being too many recognized belts....

    at the same time....even me supporting those who want the problem to go away...wont help...wont make it go away....i just accept it

    theres a saying ..."adapt or die"....ggg needs to accept it and adapt....or stay in his sea of mediocrity

    No fighter is bigger than the sport no matter how many views they generate.

    I do not believe that GGG needs to accept anything. Both are middleweight champions so logically the limit for the fight should be 160 pounds. If not, there should be no fight.

    What Canelo is doing here is not good for the sport.

    El Pollo Alvarez is a chicken of the first degree. If he wants to hold the 160 lb. title, then he should fight 160 fighters, but he won't. Golovkin will knock him out and he knows it. Oscar won't let him near Golovkiin. 155 is only one lb. over the Jr. middleweight division................so, he can't claim to be a middleweight champion while fighting a 140 lb. fighter like Khan................chicken Alvarez is a coward..................I don't want to see him fight again...........

    I got those numbers from PPV numbers of 2015 in Google. Those are what I was given and nothing is official anyway. What do you want me to do about it?

    You seem to be a person that is unwilling to break character and accept reality for what it is.

    What can be said to you so that you understand that everything revolving around you is about money including your favorite fighters?

    Boxing is a form of entertainment, take it or leave it.

    Obviously he isn't. He's just holding the MW belt hostage while fighting at his own personally designed weight division without having to fight actual Middleweights

    Fair enough. I still believe WBC will strip Canelo. 155 is too brazen even for them.
    If they don't, well, I'll have to concede you're right on this.

    als...

    the wbc wants that belt on canelo.....even if some lawsuit forces them to strip canelo....(as someone else mentioned in another thread) they'll just create a new belt for him....and hell defend it just like hes doing now against name fighters willing to fight him....and ggg will have his belt and still be stuck hoping to get danny Jacobs and bjs
