We do not know his weight between fights. Maybe he is 190 in everyday life, due to training and camp he burns extra lbs without special cutting to fit in middleweight. As we are in topic Canelo vs GGG, I would say that Canelo does not look small. He is not as tall as GGG, but I cant say he is little; in the fight against Bivol he looked huge. But I agree that going to cruiserweight is a suicide. There, guys only on a weight-ins day are 200lbs, during the fight they are heavier. Speed wont help Canelo in cruiserweight, there, guys are fast also.

The argument that Canelo weighs less during the weight in, and more during the fight is applicable for the Cruiserweight boxers as well. On average, there will be a 25 to 30 lbs difference between Canelo (at this point) and someone like Ilunga Makabu or Jai Opetaia. So Canelo needs to add 10-12 kgs of mass before he ventures to Cruiserweight. I don't know much about this, but can it be done safely within 5-6 months? And I have seen fights involving Makabu and Okolie. They are as fast as anyone in the Light heavyweight division. Canelo won't be having any added advantage.

Gennadiy Golovkin Needs A Knockout To Beat Canelo Alvarez Says Shawn Porter

Shawn Porter is concerned about GGG's age saying he's not the same as before. That make sense though but that analysis is an obvious one and for me, age can't really considered as a hindrance and really a disadvantage for GGG.

Not stated in the article but I think his conclusion is, there's no way GGG can beat Canelo if the fight will end up in Decision just like the previous results of their fights where it ended up Draw and 1 win for Canelo. The judges might side with Canelo especially if their fight won't be the same as how Canelo-Bivol fight goes where the viewers see that Canelo is really struggling against Bivol.

Either way, I hope that we can see an explosive performance by GGG on this trilogy and don't allow Canelo to have an easy win.

It's easy said that done, he pointed out the version of GGG 2010-2012 could possibly beat this version of Canelo. And Porter stress out that age factor, that he can't move as he used to be and that he needs to be smart and not throw everything with power.

He mentioned about Bivol's strategy, 1-2-3, if Canelo can dodge the first two shots, then perhaps the 3rd or even 4th shot will hit the target. So its a question on whether GGG can do that, becoming a combination fighter of 1-4 shots in bunch and hope that at least one will land solidly and who knows, it can knock down Canelo or knock him out for good.

Right, and just imagine him wanted to go as high as Cruiserweight and fight the champion at a catchweight and then Sulaiman readily agreed on it (because it's Canelo Alvarez). But then he settled on Light Heavyweight on Bivol. He could have taken Beterviev, but maybe he thinks that Bivol is the easier of the two, it really backfired on him. So he goes back to 168 lbs now and accepted the long overdue trilogy with GGG to bring his hype back.

Is this a joke? Canelo moving up to Cruiserweight? He already moved from 168 lbs to 175 lbs, to take on Bivol. But Cruiserweight is fucking 200 lbs (please correct me if I am wrong). That is going to be huge. Can anyone move from 175 lbs to 200 lbs in such short time? Even if he manages to do that, I am sure that boxers such as Arsen Goulamirian or Ilunga Makabu will smash him to pulp and thereby end his career. I don't know who is giving him all these crazy ideas. 168-175 lbs is fine for him. He should stay there.

No mate, it's no joke, Canelo and his team really think that they can get as high as Cruiserweight and fight Makabu.

But Hearn, confirmed that it is not going to happened, and Reynoso decided for a Light Heavyweight fight with Bivol. There was even an uproar why the President of WBC Mauricio Sulaiman for allowing him to fight Makabu that time. I guess that is boxing politics that we are talking and the biases that Canelo can get specially from WBC.

Anyway, just 5 weeks from this fight, perhaps the training of this two fighters are really in full swing right now.

I think this is only for the Canelo vs Bivol prediction, Bivol was really the underdog in that fight and even pro boxers pick Canelo to win, and he should be dominating Bivol.

But going on to this fight, for sure in the beginning we really like Canelo, but when he started to be the cash cow and can get all the things he want, like being tested with PED but he was able to get away with it without any repercussions. Then he become arrogant and brandish and thinks that no one can beat him not even GGG. And it was clear day and night robbery by the jury, in the first fight and then worst on the second. So for us boxing fans, we want to see GGG win with a statement, stoppage/TKO/KO.

Although I never made a bet for the Canelo vs Bivol fight, I never expected Bivol to win. There was so much hype related to Canelo before the match and most of the sportsbooks gave very low odds for Bivol. Everywhere I could read posts claiming that Canelo was unbeatable. And what happened during the match was something entirely different. Bivol completely dominated the match. I watched the highlights, and I don't think that Canelo won a single round out of a total of 12. It was completely one-sided.

Right, and just imagine him wanted to go as high as Cruiserweight and fight the champion at a catchweight and then Sulaiman readily agreed on it (because it's Canelo Alvarez). But then he settled on Light Heavyweight on Bivol. He could have taken Beterviev, but maybe he thinks that Bivol is the easier of the two, it really backfired on him. So he goes back to 168 lbs now and accepted the long overdue trilogy with GGG to bring his hype back.

Is that so? I thought Canelo will go against Ilunga Makabu that time in cruiserweight and not Sulaiman but decides to back down in light-heavyweight because I'm sure that one of the reasons is that he cannot risk his career in the guys in cruiserweight that is a natural heavy hitter especially if it's Ilunga Makabu.

Canelo was pretty confident though that he can manage to beat the champions in light-heavyweight because he once defeat Sergey Kovalev in the same weight class, he didn't expected Bivol to react that way and frankly, Canelo lost every round and lost his temper in the late rounds that's why we saw Canelo frustrated while carrying Bivol. How much more if Canelo chose Beterbiev that time Grin

maybe we will see Canelo knocked out for the first time.

Shouldn't be a joke if only he managed to beat Dmitry Bivol at the Light HeavyWeight. Nothing wrong with that plan though as long as he knows what he's doing. But prior doing that thing, he should finish and settle the business first against Golovkin next month and probably have a rematch with Bivol at catchweight 175lbs next year before taking into another step.

For me, he should target unifying first the Light Heavyweight titles before he can take on doing some challenges at Cruiserweight. Dmitry Bivol, who holds the WBA Light Heavyweight and Artur Beterbiev, who holds the WBC, IBF and WBP Light Heabyweight are those he needs to take on.

But since "Time Is Gold" for any boxers, maybe there is a mindset that they need to rush things for their goals. However, you are right, a jump from 168 lbs to 200 lbs is somehow risky as that's a new environment to be adopted and adjusted by a boxer. That's a big leap and I don't know if there's a boxer who did that distant weight step.

LOL.. I can see a lot of posts against Canelo. Being a fan of Golovkin myself, I could agree to many of these posts. Canelo can't be blamed for what the jury did. But in the end, he benefited from it and refused to acknowledge the fact that Golovkin was robbed of a win. And we saw a repeat of that during his fight against Bivol. The only difference was that Bivol completely dominated that fight and despite the fact that the jury tried really hard to score a win for Canelo, it was simply not in their hands.

Canelo has been always on the hot seat since he fought Golovkin twice, many people believed (including me) that the latter was truly robbed of a win and that is also why people and fans are anticipating a trilogy somewhere in 2019 but Canelo stood his ground while saying that he deserved that win and there's no need for a trilogy as it was clear that he dominated Golovkin. Maybe Bivol is his Karma to wake him up that getting help by the judges won't help him that much, and if ever the judges ruled in favor of Canelo that time, I bet there will be issues that the judges and Canelo cannot forget.

I'm thinking that the loss of Canelo to Bivol was a blessing in disguise so the anticipated trilogy was realized. Now, we are going to witness what we are waiting for, so hopefully this time GGG would show the world that he was really robbed in the last two fights against Canelo by beating him.

He wanted to chase more belts, becoming the first Mexican to have a belt in 5 different weight classes. And his first move to have that kind of feat is to as high Cruiserweight. And maybe they think that Ilunga Makabu is slow and easy meat for Canelo. But then they change their mind shot for a Bivol Light heavyweight fight for Bivol's belt but failed. But I do agree that perhaps above 168 lbs, Canelo might have a problem, although he shown it already when he fought Kovalev, he won, but it Kovalev was way past his prime already.

Yes, he made it once but like what you just mentioned it's no longer a prime year for Kovalev unlike with Bivol who still young and we have saw what are the dominance he made during their fight, maybe it's better for Canelo to win his fight against GGG again and put good conclusion for this rivalry then move and aimed for another great fighter to earn more money.

It's going to be an exciting fight since both are on a mission to keep their names up from this sport. They both need the win in proving their dominance from this weight division.

This is probably the result of their thinking that since Canelo is already the king in 160-168 lbs, he needs to go higher and look for another kingdom to conquer. Well that's a normal way of thinking but they should have known better. This is proven by his match against Bivol. I think time's up for him to try going up against a strong opponent in 168-175. He could play in that division but only against smaller, weaker, and aging opponents. Cruiserweight shouldn't even be an option.

There were news actually of this supposedly fight of Canelo going up to CW division. There was a WBC convention late 2021 if I'm not mistaken,

Quote

The WBC approved Canelo‘s request to fight for the cruiserweight title in May or June at their annual convention.

“The WBC has approved unanimously Canelo to fight for the WBC cruiserweight championship of the world,” president Mauricio Sulaiman said

“This is a surprise to me but I’m sure he will continue to make history.”

Ilunga Makabu is the current WBC champion at 200lbs after winning the title last year after Oleksandr Usyk’s step up to heavyweight.

Makabu has a 28-2 record with one of his defeats coming against Tony Bellew, which saw the Brit become WBC cruiserweight champion at Goodison Park in 2016.

https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/983673/canelo-alvarez-cruiserweight-wbc-title-ilunga-makabu-boxing/

But this fight is on a catchweight, but the negotiations fell, then Makabu fought Thabiso Mchunu, and then Canelo goes and fight Bivol.

I agree, it was a bold prediction by one of the legends, Bernard Hopkins. Although Canelo is no longer with them (Golden Boy), he is still ion the bandwagon, Grin

. So we respect that.

But then again, boxers, boxing 'experts' and fans have its own speculation. Even in our community, and for us we wanted to see GGG winning the fight, it will be good if this is going to be by stoppage or knock out. But we wanted to see at the end, his hands being raised as the winner.

I respect Hopkins he has done a lot for boxing as a boxer and as a promoter, he could have made a prediction that Canelo will win against GGG by the decision but for Canelo knocking out GGG easily I just don't know where this coming from, that's to much confidence on Canelo and a big disrespect for GGG, he should back it up if he is confident on his prediction by daring anyone for 1 million bets, he might eat his own words I am on the community that GGG still has what it takes to beat him after GGG has never been dominantly beaten or even knocked out.

He might be thinking that GGG is already old and Canelo who came from a dissapointing lose will try to redeem himself. I know he will be wrong because GGG is not an easy opponent, although Canelo won the last fight but the last two fights was very controversial, which means no clear winner in the eyes of the fans.

Yes, that is why people wanted the trilogy years ago because it's very unclear who dominates more as we can see that they are both having a hard time proving to each other who is much dominant. Gladly, a trilogy was given to us but it's somehow late already because GGG is not that young anymore but I can still say that he still has what it takes to defeat Canelo and gave the latter a hard time.

Of course, there is a chance that GGG will be defeated and we are not that blind not to see it, but what Hopkins said was an overstatement because it will be really a hard task to defeat GGG by a KO.

Yup, not a single round but from the judges score card it's still close, not sure how those people give score to both fighters I was in the impression that Bivol will received a dominating score but that's already out from the topic, and moving back, aside from the age gap these two fighters expected to bring good entertainment the inner lust to win against each other will flow for sure.

The trilogy might conclude these long rivalries or if GGG disappoint Canelo, that will be a continuation.

We will need to wait and see if what future will bring to these two boxers..

Then he become arrogant and brandish and thinks that no one can beat him not even GGG. And it was clear day and night robbery by the jury, in the first fight and then worst on the second. So for us boxing fans, we want to see GGG win with a statement, stoppage/TKO/KO.

Although I never made a bet for the Canelo vs Bivol fight, I never expected Bivol to win. There was so much hype related to Canelo before the match and most of the sportsbooks gave very low odds for Bivol. Everywhere I could read posts claiming that Canelo was unbeatable. And what happened during the match was something entirely different. Bivol completely dominated the match. I watched the highlights, and I don't think that Canelo won a single round out of a total of 12. It was completely one-sided.

Most of us thought that he would win because he came from a big victory and has become an undisputed fighter, it was his first attempt to move up in weight. So we were so excited to see him fight a natural big and Bivol IMO was not popular so we didn't study him so much, but what we saw was Bivol dominating the fight, clearly.

IMO Canelo only won for few rounds, at least 2 rounds on the first and the last since he want to dominating Bivol. But the rest I'd say Bivol won the whole rounds, so the point should be Bivol 118-110 Canelo, but as we can see the three judges score the fight for Bivol 115-113 Canelo, it was really close score lol [1]

That's why I say multiple times the only want GGG win this fight is by stoppage, it's impossible to win via decision with his fight toe to toe style.
