    Zsolt Erdei vs. Giacobe Fragomeni had like a 20 lb. weight differential (and that's not including the re-hydration)

    They are not much different in size. This weigh in the day before the fight is not right, but still they are near the same size.

    Post some proof that Floyd comes in at whatever weight he says, because it's been a long time since unofficial weigh ins have been posted for floyd fights.

    Take the lowest weight Floyd weighs in and take the heaviest Canelo weighs in. Mayweather didn't weigh in on fight night against Cotto, assume he was well over the official 151 - otherwise he'd happily get on the scales.

    And Canelo's fight night weight was his heaviest ever, he has come in between 164 and 167 in recent fights.

    So 21-22lb is the worse possible scenario...realistically it could be as little as 12lb :roll:

    If Floyd can fight a 140, then head down there - there's a ton of fights there I'd love to see him in!!! Why stay at 147 - it's because it's slim pickings, that's why.

    If he's too small for 154 then don't say 2 weeks ago you want to defend it, claim you're the best at that weight, and say you fight opponents where they're comfortable.

    If Floyd is so small why doesn't he get on the damn scales on fight night? I'll tell you why, my bet is if we knew his weight against Cotto we wouldn't be calling him "Lil Floyd"

    **** this fight too many excuses in the way...
    (& will be used in the aftermath)

    Mayweather: Too old, Too small, Shot, bad legs, Roger is sick... Ect

    Alvarez: Too young (Green), Rushed, needs new trainer... Ect

    He IS too small to be a peoper 154.

    It just so happens that hes just so freakishly good that he can over come the large weight disadvantages,and still be the best at 154.

    If he was so damn big against Cotto, why did he onloy come in at 151 on the scales.

    Why cut 3 extra pounds if he was so big?

    If you ant to believe that he somehow put on 10lbs between the Ortiz fight and the Cotto fight, you be my guest.
