    Matthysse-Peterson too.

    Ward-Dawson was basically one.

    It is what it is. None of us are pleased about it.

    Who cares though if it means you get to see two of the best fighters fight?


    Its not like World champs in weight classes actually matter any more anyway.

    Let's also not forget the *******s accusing Marquez of juicing and now supporting random drug testing.

    All here are hypocrites and change their position to suit their current belief and/or agenda. I also don't understand why Floyd's words are used against us - "I want Cotto to be comfortable". Floyd is full of ****. Who doesn't already know this?!

    The cw does matter otherwise Team Floyd would not ask for it. But yes, I agree everything will balance out in the end. Floyd jumped an entire weight class to fight Oscar. Canelo only has to lose an extra 2 pounds. From a business standpoint thats more than fair since Floyd could've said 147 or no fight as he's the biggest draw in boxing. Canelo at 152 is still more dangerous than Pac at 147. The jab, head movement, and body shots from Canelo are going to frustrate Floyd. If there is going to be a passing of the torch in the near future it lies in this fight. Nobody else is a big threat. Not Pac. Not Matthysse. Not Bradley.

    Of course he will. Canelo will weigh 20 poounds or more than PBF on fight night. He will be a LHW on fight night while PBF will be around 150 or 151. ****ing pathetic really the guy should be at MW. With that said the weight won't save him from the flaws that PBF will surely exploit. He's not ready for a ring general like PBF nor will he ever be. I can't wait because this fight will shut up a lot of PBF haters who are probably waking up this morning and are pissed that this fight is being made. Because for two reason one they can't push their PBF is ducking Canelo agenda anymore more and two they know PBF will beat Canelo's ass all over the ring.:deal

    :lol: People are really upset that Floyd is taking this fight. Unreal. Just imagine how upset they're going to be when he beats Canelo with relative ease.

    1. He's a champ at 154
    2. He fought other fighters at 154.

    Suddenly... 152?

    But meh. Whatever i just don't like floyd doing the catchweight BS after calling out pac for the same thing..

    Glad this superfight is made though.. Floyd UD!

    Why do people say Canelo will be a LHW on fight night? Floyd is a little taller and has a 1 inch reach advantage. Very simple minded to say Canelo is a LHW.

    Because weight is an issue why do you think they have weight classes?

    He weighed 153 against Trout.

    Dont think the extra pound will make a difference.

    What would Happen if Canelo just comes in at 154?

    And then just pays floyd 600k for the trouble. Then puts a beating on floyd and wins an easy decision

    Will people be outraged and use that to discredit the victory, or will he get a pass.

    Back in same day weigh in times, Canelo would have been a SMW.

    Floyd would have been a WW.

    There is a big difference.

    Floyd could weigh in a couple of hours before a WW match and weigh 147.

    A couple of hours before a fight, the best Canelo could hope for is maybe MW....more likely SMW.

    Titles are on the line...including the one Canelo won at a CW.
