C'mon... seriously? Boxing history is littered with fighters that have gone down to a previous weight. Why is Canelo any different?
Three reasons why Canelo would most definitely "kill himself" to make 160 again:

  1. Money
  2. Fame
  3. Because he can.



Ok so maybe he doesn't need the money. But he won't turn it down. Fame? He already considers himself The Face of Boxing. But a beatdown of a comparative gnat with a huge name wouldn't hurt.

Finally... Canelo's weight games are well known to all boxing fans.

Four years ago he couldn't be bothered with GGG until the fight was "marinated", and because he couldn't persuade Golovkin to come down to 154.

My, how times have changed... and all of a sudden Canelo "can't make it down to 160."

I don't bet... but that's one bet I'm sure I'd win. That somewhere in Canelo's future there will be a sacrificia... er... showdown against Spence. The only thing that could derail that is if Spence loses to Garcia.
