If you go by sales it doesn't seem most people are interested in these showcase fights where you're just there to watch him blast out an over matched opponent. He has an exciting style to watch but at some point you just feel like you're getting hosed.
It's really backlash for triple g ducking Canelo
So how much over his natural weight does Canelo have to fight? Canelo is going WAY up in weight here. Almost 10 pounds over his highest weight so far against a guy who has fought at light heavy.
In a way you're right but Canelo fights at about 175 when he makes 154. He'll probably weight 180ish in the ring against Jr. A rehydration clause would make more sense. I guess we'll see how sales are compared to the Smith fight.
Because we were discussing in this thread how Canelo will go up to fight Chavez but not Golovkin. He's moving up HIGHER than he would to fight Golovkin and people are still saying its not enough. Its ridiculous. We'd all prefer that it be Golovkin he fights but its not. Going up in weight 10 pounds is a challenge as far as I'm concerned. Going up 10 pounds is a lot more of an unknown than expecting Chavez to show up in shape at his correct weight.
Yeah, I get it, but they're also selling a fight. How easy do you want it to be? Sparring type tuneups should be on cable not PPV.
GGG at 160 is orders of magnitude more difficult than Jr at 164.5. I'd rather see him at MW against any ranked contender than this fight. The only reason it's at a weird weight is because they're looking for a no hoper and jr's dad is one of México's greatest.
Well, I honestly don't get a worked up on whether a fight is gonna be competitive based on the weights...They still come in the ring weighing what their body naturally wants to.
Yes, hopefully he's been in the gym, if it's just a cash grab this fight is gonna suck.
Yes, but was getting to the weight their bodies wanted to be a relief, or a burden?
