    Mayweather demanding the kid be a bit weight-drained reveals how insecure he is.

    I wonder how much money Canelo will lose if he comes in at 153 or 154?

    Not from many people, especially Floyd and his fans.

    I believe Floyd only gets flack abut the CW if canelo looks Chad Dawson bad, and of course the Floyd nay sayers will be all over the cw no matter what. I think canelo is on track to making 152' I don't think it will be much a issue for him to make weight.

    Did great fighters like Sam Langford, Henry Armstrong and Harry Greb demand catch weights?

    They'll always be more respected than Floyd.

    What bs is this man?
    the fight limit for junior middle weight is 154, he is only going to come lighter by 2 pounds!
    Floyd on the hand is moving up 5 pound or so, so the advantage is for canelo.

    In any case Canelo may not even come at 152 and might just come at 154!!! so you never know who holds it but from where i can see, its Canelo with the advantage!

    Do u give pacquiao credit for his catchweights? Don't ,forget FM is fighting a guy that more likely is gonna come as a LHW, a very unlikely situation to roideau!

    Why wouldn't he get credit. He's moving up. Has to be a balance here. Canelo should be fight at 160. Walks around 170 when not fighting or training.

    Does Floyd get credit for any of his wins? So why should anyone assume that so called fans like you will give him credit now...
