    Thats your opinion. But i adamant about:

    cw are **** no matter how you look at them.
    In Canelo's case 155 lbs catchweight, means that a bigger fighter can still fit into division and fight smaller fighters. I mean it was VERY obvious against Khan. Not that I think Khan had any chance against Canelo, but this particular fight proves my point. And even against other fighters, imagine Canelo's stamina at all those 5 fights if he did 154? He might turn into a zombie like Dawson.
    I am pretty sure he was always bigger than his opponents at jmw, he was even heavier than Angulo, who was huge.

    Yeah, but he still made his life a lot more easier. I can understand if he did it once for a big fight before moving up to 160, but 5 times? Nah, I am not buying it...

    The Smith case is interesting indeed. Maybe because Smith was a bum, who didnt have a chance even against drained Canelo? We know that Canelo uses tricks when he is fighting somewhat dangerous opponents like Jacobs, Kovalev, Bivol...

    Its not some criminal tricks, everything was legal except Clenbuterol drama, but he is exploiting his A-side position quite often. If 1lbs or rehydration clauses are not a big deal, then why he has to do it consistently? He wants his wins not being taken seriously? I doubt it...

    At the end of the day he got some good wins, that are tarnished and his best "win" without cw or rehydration bull**** is a controversial win over GGG... So i can understand why people hate him.
