    Floyd even rejected the catchweight. They want it at 147 lol. It's a ***** move because everybody knows canelo can't make 147 unless he cuts off one of his arms.

    I disagree, If it doesn't happen now, why would it happen later? Wait for Canelo to possibly lose or get better? Wait until Canelo gets bigger and can't make 154? If May doesn't want to fight at 154, why the **** would he want it later?

    Exactly! If Floyd wanted to fight Canelo, now would be the time.

    He offered pac a flat fee for the biggest money fight of the history of the sport like pac was a B-side opponent.

    The ONLY thing I see positive out of this is if he does the whole "ill mention khan" and get everyone pissed, and does the bait and switch and signs for Canelo...like he did with Alexander and Guerrero.


    Fingers crossed.

    by Miguel Rivera

    According to Jose "Chepo" Reynoso, trainer of WBC/WBA 154-pound champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (44-0-1, 30KOs), there is a weight issue that has to be worked out in order to fight WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26KOs) on September 14 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

    Chepo claims that Mayweather wants the fight to take place at the welterweight limit of 147-pounds. Canelo wants to fight at the junior middleweight limit. Chepo says there is "0" chance of the bout take place at 147. They did propose the idea of having a catch-weight, which Mayweather rejected.

    "Floyd wants every advantage on his side. Among one of the things that is often being stressed is that he wants Canelo at a lower weight. Why would I make my boy sacrifice so much? We proposed an intermediate weight for things to be level for both [fighters], but he refused. Yes we want to fight, but that does not mean [Mayweather] will get everything [he wants]," Chepo said to Erika Montoya.

    The weight was an obvious concern when this fight was first discussed. Mayweather walks around close to the welterweight limit, while Canelo weighs over 170-pounds on the night of his fights. Mayweather hold the WBA's "super title" at 154, but he defeated Miguel Cotto, a small junior welterweight, to capture that title.

    Hopefully Reynoso is just chatting **** like he always does. If not, pretty pathetic.
