Anyone 154 willing to come up to 160 to 168 but only if you are old or not very good at 168.(to be fair he didn't actually say the last bit but that is how it has played out)

    I don't support Canelo. I just think chasing an inferior fighter is weak. Canelo needs his size advantage or he is nothing. So if you are the same size as Canelo(actually taller and have weighed in heavier your entire career. And going back you were 3 divisions heavier as an amateur) beating him means nothing.
    you are bashing ggg for chasing the champ. of his own division instead of going after an irrelevant light heavyweight.
    The problem I have is GGG has fought no one of of merit. Had he fought anyone I would be on his side. He should fight Trout, Kirkland, Cotto, Lara or Perro at 155 . Instead he beats the hell out of a super weak class of 160. Canelo should fight the last 3 GGG opponents just to discredit GGG . Canelo is the A side GGG is the B side favored 4 to 1. Of course he does not want to fight at 155. A very good 155 fighter likely beats a good 160 fighter.

    GGG is one of the best Middleweights I have seen he is up there with Hagler.
    Champions fight at there weight not to suit the contender.!
    Canelo WILL take a beating simple he stands very little chance at all regardless at any weight GGG is a nasty type in the ring he just dismantles his opponent.
