    In fairness though, Dawson said 168 wasn't a problem. Oscar said 147 wasn't a problem.

    The difference people need to see is that the weight was settled closer to Alvarez's division than it was Floyd's, and that Alvarez is not an old man coming down a whole division. He is still fighting as Junior Middleweight.

    yeah very close to 154. I knew Mayweather didnt want no 147, that was just haerts talking. Mayweather just keeps his mouth closes and lets Schafer get the deal done.

    Think of it this way; even though Alvarez is giving some (weight), Floyd is giving a lil more.


    At least ppl shouldn't have much to say on the pac-cotto cw now

    Very true... I hope May fan's won't continue to pick on Pacquiao for requesting 2 pounds less on Cotto for their fight when Mayweather is doing the same 2 pounds on Canelo.

    he"ll come in 152. he doesnt want to pay a fine, biggest payday plus people will lose a little respect if he does that at 22 years old. Broner already got killed for that before

    I believe him. He's young and he fought most of his career at 147. Much easier to cut weight at his age...

    Smart move by floyd, he ain't his best at 154 I think everyone knows this. Let the young boy at least work to make weight before he balloons up to 170 pounds come fight night.

    Great match, great for boxing.

    For those that said floyd's a hypocrite for asking for a catchweight, you guys are right but at 36 and with every single advantage going for canelo, floyd couldn't get raped in the negotiations. Canelo had to offer something. Floyd is offering 5lbs and canelo is offering 2lbs.

    Floyd is at his best fighting at 147. This is a fact.

    147 and 5 is 152lbs

    154 - 2 is 152lbs.

    What is the crap:roll:

    Haters gonna hate. Have a good day :hi:

    Chad Dawson said he could make weight no problem, how did that work out?
    I happen to think Alvarez will make 152 with minimal side effects, but we'll see.

    Point is you can't just go on a fighters word.

    Glad everyone is super excited in the boxing circle for this fight. Will be the biggest fight in years. Once again floyd is the face of boxing.
