    Canelo will be a zombie, remember the last couple of pounds are the hardest to lose. Canelo already kills himself to make 154. This fight should have never been made, it will destroy Canelo's career.

    I never said that personally, but I said the catchweight was sorry because he fought Oscar at 147 before. I also said the weight didn't affect the fight at all

    Do you agree that Cotto was drained?

    If not,then you cant have an issue with this because you'd just be hating on Floyd for the exact same reasons that you are now complaining about.

    Either you believe it was wrong for Pac ad is now wrong for Floyd.

    Or you believe both were within their rights to ask for the catchweight.

    Dont hate just because guys on the other side hate too.

    The point is, they are being hypocritical and their claims are blowing back on their faces.

    Sure I believe Cotto was okay, and I should believe that Canelo would be fine. I'm cool with that.

    How about them who said Cotto was drained? What should their opinion on this fight be? :think

    Floyd knows what he is doing. If 2lb made no difference he would never had agreed to the fight.

    Im more interested in the great fight we have coming up than the back and forth arguing's of particular fighter fans,to be honest.

    I thought Pac-Cotto was a good match up and Im stoked for this one too.

    All speculation of course but the last 5 are the hardest and his routine is setup for that weight already. But, let's not forget the "Oscar Scale" may be in play. Roach swears Pac weight right at the agreed weight in his hotel room prior to weigh in for the ODLH fight. 3/4? pounds under on the official scale. Went back to his hotel room after weigh in to double check and he was still right on weight. Lil Floyd better bring a known weight. :lol:

    I have no complaints being a boxing fan.

    I just want to keep haters off Pac's ass but letting Floyd off the hook for the same matter.

    Canelo has weighed anywhere from 150-154 since he has been at light middleweight.

    It will compromise Alvarez, but not totally cripple him. Still, he needs to be at 100% to win fairly.

    I think we'll see a 75%-85% version of Alvarez who will get helped to a controversial SD win by way of some friendly GBP judging (it will be their version of Pacquiao-Bradley, only Alvarez won't lose wide and will be competitive, probably 7-5, so the outcry won't be the same.)
