    Canelo should come in @ 154 and pay the money.. Instead of draining himself.. It's the smart move.

    It's not just about making weight cause he obviously can and probably will. It's about how those 2 extra lbs are going to affect him. And none of us knows, even Canelo.

    And difference between Cotto at 145 and Canelo at 152 is that Cotto is an average WW while Canelo is a huge LMW. So you are asking more from Canelo.

    He's already draining himself to even make 154 anyways. He has the funds to hire a strength and conditioning coach, plenty of time to get his diet and weight inline to make 152. If he can't make 152 it's because a lack of discipline or wanting a weight advantage by cutting a bunch of weight and rehydrating to be the bigger man.

    A huge impact. Whether we want to admit it or not, but Canelo is a middleweight. Once he moves up to that weight class, his conditioning will be better. He's constantly draining himself to make 154 lbs, having to shred an extra two pounds will be too big a burden to bear.

    So is a catch weight fight for Floyd alright with his most loyal fans? After all the negative criticism about Pac fighting at cat weights? And for multiple titles?

    Anyone notice the massive double standard or is it ignored because Floyd has mind ****ed all of you?

    It must be substantial because Floyd is a very smart businessman and covers all the bases.

    Canelo will be even more weight drained than he usually is- That's the whole point of the cw

    so they are the same size and both will have to put in the same effort to make 152?
