    Exactly. Don't see why people are annoyed with this catchweight. Mayweather's letting Canelo come in at 152. Whereas someone like Pacquiao would have been forcing Canelo to drop to 152. That's the key difference. Mayweather likes his opponents to be comfortable.

    I'm happy for this fight, but i do enjoy ripping the *****s.

    Alvarez is also a huge 154 lb who should be fighting at light heavyweight he's that big, but dropping those 2lbs will be easy apparently.

    The guy is 22 years old. Losing 2 pounds should be no problem.

    I thought Alvarez was a Light Heavyweight fighting at Light Middle.

    Now he's going to easily drop a couple of pounds

    :lol:

    Presure is only key if you can find the target. Ask Guererro. After a few rounds he was looking like a mug.
    Also Canelo has no endurance because he puts all his energy into one shot so let's see how that pressure works when he's missing.
    By the 7th round Canelo will be a punch bag especially with his lack of movement. His shoulder roll is amateurish and he's gonna get really beat up.

    If he is smart he'll fight like DLH did the first couple rounds and nick some early.

    Then use the Cotto strategy. At the end of the day though his jab just isn't good enough.
