This is the first time Canelo has fought above 154 (155) and people are upset he's been putting the fight off? He's never been in GGG's weight class until now. I don't care about the technicalities in the Cotto fight and the belt he won. Everybody knew Cotto was no damn middleweight champion, the belt was just put up for grabs because it made the fight even more intriguing. He dropped the belt because he wasn't ready to fight at middleweight and still fought ay 154. He's moving up 11 pounds to fight Chavez. This will be his first fight to get accustomed to the new weight. Why should Canelo get **** for taking his time? What rush is he in? He's 26. It's not his fault GGG is aging. How come GGG doesn't get **** for calling out somebody who was in one division lower than him? Why doesn't GGG move up? People are hypocritical as hell.
GGG is a monster, and not somebody you fight on the first fight moving up a weight class. That's a huge risk for anybody. Im for letting fighters getting accustomed to new weight classes before fighting the #1's in the new divisions.
The Canelo/JR fight is a tough fight for Canelo. Not because Jr is some monster, but because of his attributes. Canelo has had trouble with boxers with good movement. JR is going to thump with him. He's a a lot bigger than Canelo and has probably the best chin in boxing. He's going to take it to Canelo, and we'll see what happens if Canelo's power is still there with the bigger fighters. If it doesn't and Chavez just stays In front of him all night with no respect, it will be an exciting fight.
