    canelo himself said he was very happy with how he made weight and felt great

    before all this lets remember he came in 153 and one half pound for trout so it was 1 and a half pounds more for canelo to lose

    now if you dont want to take canelos word for it why wont you listen to a medical professional who was hired to examine canelo and make sure he was not weight drained, he was very happy with canelos weight

    nothing mentioned about feeling off or sluggish to even suggest weight draining after the fight either and i feel during the fight he actually looked very good though when you are in the ring with a superior fighter you always look a little less then average (anyone can look great on the heavybag lets not forget)

    so honestly why is "hrr weight drained" still being touted ???

    Because FMJ demanded a catchweight, then lied about who demanded it to the fans, then boasted about how it was a smart business move. This after the build up to the Cotto fight he said Floyd don't drain fighters.

    This is less about Canelo and more about FMJ.

    Floyd is a hypocrit because he drained Canelo after saying he don't drain fighters.

    I think if the fighter that's involved in the fight says that he's ok with the weight loss I think then it's ok haha.

    buddy, i'm just setting the record straight. all this catchweight BS is a result of Floyd. You can't deny this. I accepted it for what it was. I'm not a huge Canelo fan or anything, I just would like to see a level playing field.

    The catchweight king? How exactly?

    You do realise that Canelo weighed in over 15lbs heavier on fight night don't you??

    Effectively every Canelo fight is a catchweight in his favour.

    Also, Floyd actually lost weight after the weigh-in..

    You my friend are a ****

    What do they know. How are they supposed to tell how his performance would be affected. Canelo had to change his diet entirely, to eat more cucumbers and less meat and protein. Canelo was still healthy, he didn't look unhealthy, he just didn't have that extra oomph he would get at the normal weight.

    Did DLH's team and medical professionals say DLH was drained B4 Pacquiao? How about Cotto's team and medical professionals before his bout with Pacquiao? Who's going to come out and say "yeah dude's weight drained" before a big fight?

    No, you don't KSAB. Canelo did not get a catchweight in his favor moron LOL. Floyd demanded the catchweight. Canelo had to change his diet and train to lose 2 extra pounds because that was the only way FMJ would fight. And your math is wrong. Canelo didn't weigh over 15 lbs heavier on fight night. He weighed 13 lbs heavier. (and 7 lbs lighter than he did vs Trout - as a result of the catchweight and his changed diet)

    He was 7 lbs lighter than he was against Trout.

    Oh right, so you're saying the 13lbs weight advantage wasnt enough for Canelo, & a 20lbs advantage is more fair?

    You my friend are a ******.

    Have a good day

    There are weight classes for a reason. There is a reason why the weigh-ins are the day before the fight. What you weigh after you make weight is up to the fighters. Catchweights are not normal when both fighters hold a belt in a weight class.
