http://www.eastsideboxing.com/2013/mayweather-147-for-canelo-or-no-fight/ I wonder what happen to: "we fight the best at their best!"?
atsch what a shameless duck if this is true, and why does it not surprise me. lets hear the floyd nuthuggers defend this to no end.
That's the first time I've read an ESB article in ages, and my God was it a ****ing awful one. Biased much? Not only does he choose to use an image of one of the few moments of Canelo getting hit by Trout, but he also writes: "This now puts it on Canelo and his team whether they want the fight enough for Canelo to melt down 7 pounds from 154 to 147. It’s certainly possible for Canelo to do this because if someone like Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is able to melt down from 190 to 160 and make weight for his middleweight fights, then Canelo should be able to come down from 172 to 147 to make weight. We’re only talking about 25 pounds of water weight rather than 30. Canelo has come into his other fights weighing in the mid-160s, so it really shouldn’t be that hard for him if he trims down a little to where he’s weighing in the 160s when he faces Mayweather. That would mean that Canelo would only have to take off around 20 pounds of water weight to make the 147 pound limit. That’s perfectly reasonable and done all the time by fighters. If Cnelo rehydrates back up to 165+, he’d still have around a 15 pound weight advantage against Mayweather. That should be more than adequate to make up for his lack of hand speed, experience, work rate and stamina."
Agreed it is baised also there was no point to bring in Trout fight and saying that it was dodgy...:yep
they should ban who ever posted that garbage article. someone must have wrote that one during study hall
mayweather hasnt boxed 1 single opponent in 10 years who was at his best weight or in his prime so this is zero surprise to me. its the truth check boxrec if you need convincing. id have been shocked if he'd fought alvarez but he's shown himself again to be a fraud he boxed a faded cotto at 154 and became the so called champion at that weight what is the great one afraid of?
Canelo couldn't even make the catchweight of 150 for his fight with Hatton a couple years back. He would be an absolute zombie at 147.
