Canelo's weight issues ...

Its a real pity the fight isnt at 154. A win over Canelo at 154 (which Floyd is well capable off) would be regarded far more highly than a win at 152, fairly or not.

 

he's making $13 million or so for this fight at age 23 :deal

 

To be fair he did look lean & ripped in the pic, but he has been making 154 pretty easy.
If I was Canelo I'd ignore the 152 & just come in at 154 & just pay the fine.. Can't see Floyd canceling the fight.

 

Everybody that fights Mayweather gets the most they ever made.

 

It won't matter because Canelito won't go anywhere anyway....not at 5'7 with mediocre skills.

 

I think his skills are well above mediocre. Are they good enough to make noise at 160 as short as he is? Probably not even close.

 

He's a solid fighter...nothing more...nothing less.

He can't even make too much noise at 154...not with guys like demetrius Andrade...Jermell Charlo and Keith Thurman coming onto the scene.

 

Yes I too would have perferred the full 154 .... However, after Floyds fight with Cotto (who is much smaller than Canelo), I can understand why this fight is being made at 152.

Keep in mind though, that if there is no rehydration clause, Canelo will still be in high 160's/Low 170's on fight night

 

true, it does not matter what he weighs, the fight will happen. Too much at stake

 

Demetrius andrade would beat Alvarez

 

Lara would beat Alvarez

 

:yep

 

tyson was small for his weight class, sure i would not put his ability at tyson level but he is great at what he does and handled a great boxer in trout really well, and this kids 23... still plenty of time to grow as a fighter, at his weight division he should not hit the downward slope until about 31-32

 

He doesn't have the skills and explosiveness of Tyson.

You see

Canelito won't be the only one growing as a fighter...Charlo and Andrade ect are growing as fighters as well..the thing is...they aren't 5'7.

Alvarez is already headed down at an early age...just like Vargas.
