TIC, I'm "unable" to separate Canelo from the weight discussion for three basic reasons. One, because he's the reason we're having this discussion in the first place. You continue trying to justify Canelo's weight gymnastics, while I'm tearing them down. Two, it's impossible not to compare the fighters you yourself have brought up, obviously in Canelo's defense, for the purpose of comparing. Three, it serves for me to point out the clear and distinct differences between normal weight changes by fighters, and Canelo's shameless reaching for meaningless trinkets, while using his diva status to stack the deck in his favor.
But if you just want me to comment on the other fighters, I think I've done that as well. I think it's obvious that we think differently on weight. You apparently don't care how huge the jumps are, while I prefer a more natural progression in weight. I prefer when a fighter says... "I'm going up in weight because (a) I find it hard to make this weight anymore, or (b) I've already dominated everyone there is to face here." I despise divas who jump OVER divisions where they've already gotten their asses kicked, looking for a heavier (but perceivably weaker) belt holder just to get a shiny new trinket.
We can continue this discussion as long as you like. I really don't mind, because every time I talk about it, it just makes Canelo look worse and worse.
