A) he will regret it in later life unless some Mexicano is willing to donate a liver or kidneys. B) I'm deducing here but I reckon he weighed near 185 for the fight. This is crazy. Not only making a mockery of weight classes. But also do something very rarely able to achieve in the real world. Body building has significant limiters on weight cutting due to the knowledge that it destroys livers etc. MMA have also introduced such measures. Both sports are rife with PEDs (Every sport is rife IMO) I'm not taking away from his boxing. He is the best chicken out there. But legal? I seriously have my doubts.
well he'd be a miricle of science if it was natural,even Virgil Hunter who's seen it all in the sport of boxing said he'd love to be a fly on the wall to see how they get Canelo from almost dead n dry on the scales to the solid looking Canelo on fight night,have to say I'm used to it now as they're all on something anyway like you say.
It gets me down. Money makes their world go round. I'm being purposefully naive here but just fight the best boxers at the weight you are most comfortable at. Who's idea of honour is it to balloon your self in 24 hours to beat on a smaller guy. TBH I'm being unfair on Canelo here. There are plenty of others who do it.
I think over the Years and still now Fighters are doing it....But I would be guessing Canelo is one of the best at it....
do you have ANY proof that he weighed anywhere near 185 on fight night? seriously, where are people getting these ridiculous numbers?? Whenever his fight night weights have been reported, he's been in the high 160s/low 170s. Pretty sure his fight night weight against Floyd was only 165
Yes, it is possible, other athletes does the same range, but he probably uses illegal methods: IV saline bags. He can afford it. Oscar can bribe anyone to let "the show go on" Even if he "only" rehydrates 17-20 lbs, that's a huge amount, that would leave even most other professionals crippled. Actually at the last weigh in they didn't even bother to weight him the second time. He jumped up and down the scale, and magically he was suddenly 154 lbs on the spot. Sure. The show must go on.
Canelo is red as a tomato on fight night yet pale as a ghost on weigh-ins. He is either eating the best cooked steak meals from Chepo Reynoso or there is a a secret Memo Heredia type character in camp supply EPO's.
The last 3 fights in particular, it's always been shocking how big he looks when he gets in the ring. Just looking at Cotto, Khan and Smith before the bell rang, it was clear there would be nothing they could do to keep Canelo off.
