Canelo is supposedly willing to fight GGG at 160

[icha]

If true this is GREAT news and would restore much of the respect I lost for Canelo with all this catchweight nonsense........

i guess you were right, canelo isnt willing to fight him at 155..

[bojangles1987]

That would be great news.

[Shrap]

Awesome news. Everything is (hopefully) lining up for a September showdown.

According to Sweet Science,
"The real sigh of relief and what makes you believe the bout will in happen is, Alvarez has dropped the 155 catch weight stipulation that he had been insisting on since he beat Cotto, according to Golden Boy Promotions executive Eric Gomez. And if that’s true, good for him. There was nothing for him to gain in the eyes of the fans if he beat a weakened and dehydrated Golovkin at 155. Now if he beats Golovkin it will be authentic and no one can question or taint the accomplishment."



If this is indeed true, then Canelo's next fight may well be at 160.

If GBP and Canelo were smart, theyd fight twice before September. 1 non title fight before may than a title defense in May. The weight isnt the only factor, Canelo needs to stay sharp.

The buildup will require each to have big fights before this supposed Sept showdown. Or at least GGG cause he needs more of the buildup

Even if they're dropping the 155pound demand, it doesn't necessarily mean it'll be at 160. I imagine, when the chips are down, it'll be at 157.

Then sign the contract......... OHHHH thats right this is just bluff since you have no intention of fighting Gennady and ducked the fight for May LOL. Canelo is the most disgusting low life coward in the history of this sport. Even a bigger coward that Mayweather. **** this fake ***** who got beat by Cotto XDD No wonder he was no part of Gennady.

Here's the CBS Sports article since TSS didn't link to it.

Gomez also said that weight will no longer be hang up in making the superfight happen. Canelo has long insisted on fighting below the 160-pound middleweight limit, preferring to fight at 154 or 155 pounds, but according to Gomez that's no longer an issue -- this means we could have a true middleweight champion for the first time since Sergio Martinez (Cotto never fought at 160).

Where is Oscar? Gomez is doing all the talking for Golden Boy every since those pictures of Oscar came out at the McGregor after party.

Excellent point. I want to see both guys at their best.
