    loads of people keep saying canelo is in no position to make demands.

    I'm confused, what demands is he making. They both have belts at 154.

    Is canelo demanding anything i don't know about

    He is demanding Floyd to get in the ring with a legitimate challenger. Floyd and his fans don't like that.

    "I have a 154 belt but I'm too small to wear it." :|

    ????
    People are really dense here.
    Obviously Canelo want the fight at 154 while Floyd wants the fight at 147.
    And yes Floyd got a title at 154. AND yes Floyd got a title at 147
    Floyd is more comfortable at 147.

    You comprehend it yet?

    Only thing he is asking for is a fight with mayweather, he is okay with testing the lower share of the purse venue all of that....

    Pretty insane demands huh?:roll:

    I thought Floyd fought fighters at the weight they were most comfortable at? Canelo can't make 147 and Floyd is supposedly the G.O.A.T and a belt holder at 154. What's the problem?

    The reason why Floyd said 147 is bc he doesn't want to give up his advantages as a fighter since canelo is much bigger guy/younger.

    Floyd is basically saying that he calls the shots. If the guy wants to beat him fight him at his weight.

    In my personal opinion. They should do a rehydration clause. It would be the fair solution.

    Obviously a big part of Canelo's game is Size to overpower his opponents who are typically much smaller than him.

    Whats the problem? Maybe is bc he realize that he peaked?

    Cotto is a natural JMW as in walks around 154-160ish. Canelo is a natural supermiddle weight. He walks around at 170ish.

    Are people really ******ed in here and can't see the crazy size difference between the two?

    why don't Floyd just go and fight Andre ward since ward walk around the same weight as canelo anyways.

    I know people wants Floyd to lose badly but this is not charity. If Canelo really wants the fame and be the one to possible upset, he would diet down.

    Hell even martinez offered to go down to 152.

    Hydration clause sounds logical but the question is whats a fair cap? Canelo comes in at 154 I believe 10 pounds 12 max is fair

    I say 160 is fair imo. That way the fight doesn't have to take place at 147.

    Floyd showed up to fight at 146 against Robert. Canelo is 170. Floyd can try to come up 14lbs while canelo goes down 10.
