Who is a rugged 168lb, not a guy who has never fought at 160/168 and is jumping up to face the best fighter in his division. This is like Adames or Lara at 160, jumping up to fight Beterbiev at 175. Does that even make sense?
No it doesn't make sense because beterbiev never fought at 160. So that comparison holds no weight. A better comparison would be Tank or Shakur moving up to fight bud at 147. I would have absolutely zero issue with either one of those fights. And they would both be competitive as hell.

No, it doesn't. The hype for the fight is here now. You marinate a fight to increase the demand. Benavidez just beat one of his main rivals at 168. He's the interim champion. Everyone wants to see it. Let's say the fight does better on Cinco De Mayo, than it does Mexican independence day (which may be the reasoning), then why have this farce of a fight now?

I hope you're not suggesting that someone's natural weight class is the weight class they start at?
The hype is here now. The credibility of the opponent is still worthy of excuses. One big fight his whole career, against a guy Canelo already knocked out. Let em put some more work in. Right now it's setup to label him a hypejob, and disregard the win

If you think you're lonely now, ohhh girl...
I hate the stan-base shyt that boxing fans partake in. Boxing fans are trash. :wow:

Charlo is going to have Plant level power or below at 168. Canelo is used to being hit by way bigger men/punchers. Charlo going to land his Sunday punch and Canelo going to be making the :hhh: face at him afterwards. Canelo is going to hurt Charlo. Charlo is going to lose easily, and it’ll be some, “good job, good effort,” shyt.

I don’t like it.

We tryna act like Charlo and Canelo ain't similar in natural size. Charlo just made a career weight bullying at 154, but he ain't small. Canelo going up to 2 weight classes to fight a top ranked fighter and big puncher like Kovalev ( is much more of a size differential. Charlo will not be smaller than Canelo on fight night

He is getting huge payday and Canelo is clearly on the decline if he can take Canelo’s power this fight could be special these are both some “I don’t like to stay hit last” type of guys wouldn’t surprise me if shyt turns into a war.

Canelo in general is about to be in more wars now though because he depended a lot on his explosiveness and some of that is slipping and the cost in stamina is higher as you age :francis: if he smart he retires after this deal is up.

To quote Brother Naz “we done seen you do everything except get knocked out so why stick around for that.”

No he won't, Charlo will be stronger at that weight imo. Both of the Charlo's are big guys/that cut weight.

He has 90 days to jump 3 weight classes to be on the same weight level.

Steroids, growth hormone, all these things help, they helped Pacquiao jump up and still knock guys out, they helped Canelo go up and develop trunk volume and velocity strength.

But all of the above were with the help of both PED’s AND time.

Mel will have the former in some form, but not the latter.

Anybody that has boxed for years, and understands weight transfer, walk around weight, bullying weight etc gets this.
