Negative this absolutely happened and and I want to say it was mentioned when Canelo was at 154 but certainly when he was 160and if you know your history the best WW have never been afraid of the best MW. Deluded? Man why y’all think Canelo is some GOAT??? You guys need to do better. Spence at the time was walking around heavier than Canelo. I definitely was picking Spence to win had that happened at that time. Again, too much risk and not enough reward for Canelo though.
What y’all don’t realize is weight class is a business! Every fighter you see at a weight class doesnt mean thats where his natural weight is. I can reel off names. Oscar starved himself to get a title at 130, he could have started at 135. SSM was 140 as an amateur but was 135lb champion. Ward was a 160lb amateur who fought as LHW in the Olympics! THEN went back down to 168 as a pro!
what do you mean Canelo vs Charlo ruined the game??? what did that fight do that had not already been done?
edit: I was right,
@patscorpio, fact check me breh. Canelo beats Smith for 154 WBO, fights JCCjr at 164, 2 weeks later Spence dethrones Brook. this is when the first mentions happened. Canelo was still 154lb champ and decided to fight GGG for the MW title. was not far fetched at all. Spence was big WW and Canelo was just leaving 154. Meanwhile Boots wont come to 154 and mf's in here talkin bout a 37 y/o Bud who doesnt make 154 the easiest needs to come back to 147 to face that lil nikka.
