1-canelo-cotto (4)By Dan Ambrose: Ever since Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) defeated Miguel Cotto (40-5, 33 KOs) last month to win the WBC middleweight title, he’s been getting really torn apart by boxing fans on his Instagram. 

The fans are very, very unhappy with Canelo talking about wanting to continue to fight at a catch-weight of 155lbs despite him holding onto the WBC middleweight title now. On almost every Instagram post by Canelo, the fans barbeque him about the catch-weight thing. They want Canelo to fight at the full weight of 160lbs against Gennady “GGG” Golovkin and in all of his other title defenses to come in the future. 


The fans don’t want to see Canelo using his power as the WBC champion to pressure his challengers to fight him at 155lbs or whatever other catch-weight that he could possibly think of in order to gain an edge over them. 

If Canelo, 25, decides he’s going to ignore the fans and look to force all of his opponents to fight at 155 in a ‘take it or leave’ it approach, then it’s going to be up to the World Boxing Council to look to gain some control over the situation by informing Canelo that he can’t push his catch-weights on the mandatory challengers like GGG or whoever comes after him. 

It’s still unclear how long Golovkin will wait for a fight against Canelo. If the WBC says that Canelo can now use the next year to fight two voluntary defenses rather than face Golovkin like they’d originally talked about him doing, then it might be in Golovkin’s best interest to move on because I don’t think Canelo will bother facing him once he’s exhausted those two voluntary defenses. 

If the WBC isn’t going to push Canelo to defend his title against Golovkin, then it’s a waste of time for Golovkin to wait around. He’d only find himself in the same position as the challengers that waited for Floyd Mayweather Jr. to face them for his WBC title at 147 and 154. You can wait literally forever a title shot if the WBC isn’t going to step in and help in the matter. 

Canelo says that he’ll defend his WBC middleweight title at 155, his desired weight right now. It’s up to Golovkin to decide if he wants to wait to see if the WBC will tell Canelo he can’t do that, or simply call his bluff and agree to fight him at that weight. I think the smarter thing for Golovkin to do is to simply agree to the 155lb weight.
