Of course the catch weights were a different thing, and I'm not defending this fight or anything, but Canelo isn't any bigger than the Charlo brothers or Andrade.
According to his boxnation bio he sits around the house and walks around at 163. But according to him....

I’m a big 154. A lot is made of Canelo coming in the ring at 180."

"I’ve said to people, if I wanted, I could get in the ring at 180. But I choose not to. On the night, there would not be a big difference between us size wise. It’s a fight I’d love. I was too big for Amir when I sparred with him for that fight. I kind of knew it was going to happen. It was always a case of could Amir go to points?"

“If Amir could get to points, he might do well. But he didn’t make it because he was too small. Amir is a 147 fighter. You’d have to chop my leg off to make me a 147 fighter.”
