Aside from the fact it is wrong to both weigh in at below weight to fight on the night on or over the weight for a belt at a higher weight than weigh in.
I still recon the 155 weigh in suited Kahns fight better than it could of Canelos as I think Canelos style can hold weight.
Im thinking If Kahn weighed more on the night he would of been slower and only lasted a round or two until being caught even harder than he did.
The first point I think is the whole issue for most. Against Cotto it was the same thing, 155 suited both men fine, it was just the principle of it being for the middleweight title, which in fairness Miguel had already pulled before. I'm not totally opposed to catchweights, but in title fights the champion and challenger have to be allowed to weigh what the division allows, otherwise it just stinks. I don't even mind if Canelo doesn't fight GGG next, if he were to take one of the very few other serious challenges at 160 and allow them to weigh that
