Saul Canelo Alvarez - Ill drop to 150 link attached

That's from 2011.

"I would never want to put a fighter in a position where he's not comfortable. I want a guy when he's at his best. If he's at his best at 154 and he's strong and he's solid, then that's the fight we're fighting at."

Floyd Mayweather, 2012

 

He said that in February, 3 months after Canelo said he would drop to 150.

 

Your point? If Canelo fights at 154 then clearly that's where he's most comfortable. Are you really going to be this ******ed?

 

read the quote.. "where he is not comfortable"... not "where he is most comfortable"

 

He also says he wants to fight his opponent where is is at his best, well that's at 154.

Anyway by all accounts it was Canelo's camp who proposed the 152 weight limit, and the fact that the Mayweather's have said that openly on All Access, that say's it's true. If that's the case then they are thick ****s and should of waited to see if Mayweather would of accepted 154.

 

You're the only one that's interested in displaying your ignorance. My point is simple, if Canelo isn't expected to abide by what he said, then why should Mayweather? They both made those statements within a few months of eachother. Furthermore, Canelo's own trainer remarked just back in May that they would be willing to do a catchweight.

 

They are two completely separate sentences with different contexts. You ***** phaggots have been riding the Catchweight hatetrain for the last three years along with your hero, and here he is quoted in the flesh saying "I want my opponent to be at his BEST weight", not the weight he offered to make the fight. Fact of the matter is, you and your boy look like massive hypocrites and you know it. When you have Ellerbe himself saying they "took advantage of the opportunity" and his management were "inept" that tells you all you need to know.
Game.Set.Match.

:?

 

Floyd can say whatever he wants, that's on him. If you want to call him a hypocrite that's fine. However, that point remains; if it's a big deal that people stick to their word, then why shouldn't Alvarez be expected to be kept at his word? At the end of the day, you'll still watch the fight anyway. So you can *****, complain, and throw around insults, but it makes no real difference.

 

Ellerbe also said something about their team being stupid enough to put their fighter at a "Disadvantage". Like you quoted Floyd, Floyd wants his opponent at their best. Ellerbe is saying basically *Were so happy to put that boy at a disadvantage... Let's drain em.*
Not every fight that is offered is accepted, not every demand for a fight is agreed upon. I don't blame Floyd for taking the catchweights, but I do blame Floyd for being a whiny hypocrit.

 

do you think a catchweight is un neccesery or unreasonable when going on there previous performances floyd will weigh 152 vs canelo at 172 on fightnight?

i dont have a problem with catchweights if it brings us the megafights we all want to see like this one, aslong as both fighters are comfortable with it and its a reasonable thing to have.

iv dumped on catchweights before but only when i was left wondering why they needed one in the firstplace... getting outweighed on fightnight by 5-10lbs does not warrant one but 20+lb's ... thats almost unheard of outside of heavyweights

 

And that's exactly my point. Floyd used that statement to make himself look like more of a sportsman and it's come back to bite him in the ass a year later.

 

Wasn't it already announced on full access that Alvarez' team were the ones to request the catchweight in the contract?
