Comments Thread For: Canelo's Coach: We Are Not Inventing a New Division!

[about.thousands]

Somebody help me out. They're saying he needs time to grow into a middleweight. His last 4 fights have been at 155.

1. Why did he fight 3 JWW's at 155 if he can easily make the JWW limit according his team?

2. He has 4 fights at 155 and his team is saying he needs to grow into the MW division. If so why has he fought MW his last 4 fights but hasn't gone above 155?

3. He said GGG has to come to 155 to fight him. That would be his 5th fight in a row at 155. Are there any other examples of a fighter fighting 4 or 5 fights at the same exact catchweight?

What welterweight did Pacquiao fight at 141?

It's not about him fighting at 141, it's about him fighting for titles at CWs.

That's the problem people have with Canelo.....................even though Manny did the same thing.

See Antonio Margarito & Cotto.

Who ever fight Canelo will either have to come up or down. Ya.... sounds like a new 155lb division, but he says its just business so that makes it in there minds ok.

You have not seen anything yet. Just wait till he starts feeling comfortable at 156 LOL

Canelo and his whole team are looking like complete jokes right now.

America political leaders spew less bull crap!
Fight GGG or vacate cabron!
Da le!!! Con ganas!

[RetroSpeed05]

I don't recall anyone doing this. Catchweights are one thing but saying your opponent has to fight at the weight you're most comfortable at is ridiculous. Might as well abolish all the weight classes and just have everyone fight at their optimal weight lol.

This^^^ CW is one thing, this is creating a whole new weight division. Watch, next is 156 when 155 becomes a little to hard to make.

Except that you know...you ARE

This is just downright stupid......thats why i say if GGG wants that title and to get the division back in order then just agree to the weight and kick his ass..the rewards will be great

Pretty much this. If he can make 154 then 155 should be ok . Ggg has said it himself he needs these big fights now not later. Take whats given to you the rewards (the money ,the exposure and the recognition of world class by the haters) is beyond worth the risk

[Beercules]

Shut up. You are.


What a joke, the lineal MW champion...

[Razcal26]

It's a CW.

Canelo can just about make 155, but his team knows GGG has ALWAYS been a MW, so taking 5lbs off him is the best they can do.

If Canelo couldn't make 155, they would say 156, 157.
