All that matter is that you aren't over weight. Pacquiao won a title at 154 and never fought at the weight.what is the point in weight limits at all? We are gonna care if someone comes in over the max but not under the minimum? And I do realize this has been done many times. I know that Roy Jones Jr didn't meet the heavyweight minimum against John Ruiz either.
My point it, Canelo has only had 1 fight at the real middleweight limit and he didn't win. He shouldn't be favored against anyone on the list asked. Not when he's blatantly ducked the division until he had to or risk his reputation to the point it wouldn't have been able to recover.
And blatantly ducked the division? Come on. He beat the lineal champ and fought to a draw with the next highest rated fighter at the weight too.
