I don't see that and no reports have ever surfaced about him struggling to fight at Junior Middleweight
Pac said "F the shoulder, I'll take the L, but I'll takes those Ms too" :wow:

Yeah, they're gonna manufacture a rematch for another cash grab in a couple years and we'll fall for it again :pachaha:

I like Manny, but I really have to question that pre-fight shoulder injury. He was throwing relentless when he actually threw. A torn rotator cuff is serious biz. Most fighters I seen with that were not able to throw at all, much less with that type of fluidity. Off of the top of my head I remember when Lacy tore his against the Russian guy.

then why is he making fights at 155?, last time i checked 154 was the weight class regardless if it's a pound over.

for the fight with angulo last year he increased the weigh in to 155 and on fight night came in the ring at 174.

against lara, fight was at 155 as well, and cam in the ring fighting at 171.

last nights fight, weight limit was 155 but he came in at 154.5, don't know what he came into the ring at.

last time he fought 154 or under was against floyd damn near 2 years ago @ 152.

if he can continue to make big and exciting fights at 155 catch weights then :salute: but let's be real, he's clearly a middleweight.

I disagree breh.

Lamont Peterson came in at 165 against Danny Garcia for a 143 catchweight fight...does that mean he's not a Junior Welterweight either and should be fighting at Junior Middleweight or something? No, because there isn't anything coming out saying he's struggling to make weight at all and same with Canelo.

160 is currently dead like 168. If Canelo can still make Junior Middleweight, it is best for business for him to stay there to matchup with big Welterweights, Junior Middleweights, and small Middleweights.

And Cinnamon is BIG for a 154 lb'er. Right after that venomous right hook when hes running to his corner he looks huge.
