    This. Trust me, Canelo will get penalized VERY harshly for coming in over the contract weight.

    Good move for mayweather to force Canelo to 152. He will be drained. He even looks like he has bad stamina at Light Middleweight wont get better at catchweight.

    :deal

    Alvarez won't have the stamina to pressure Floyd over 12 rounds and the Mayweather clan KNOW this. Once Alvarez shoots his wad, Mayweather takes him to SCHOOL...

    Dont be so sure.

    Has'nt Canelo hired Alex Ariza as his strenghth and conditioninig coach?

    I've got to believe Canelo will be in the best possible shape of his career and be ready to pressure Mayweather for 12 rounds.

    Canelo has a good strong jab. DLH used it well to bother Mayweather but could'nt do anything once he had him on the ropes.
    Canelo is vastly better than DLH up close after the jab gets Mayweather to the ropes.

    Cant wait! :thumbsup

    He will male 152 and lose this fight. He will lose this fight at any weight though, he showed his limitations against Trout. Floyd will school him

    Obviously we'll only have an idea on the scales and fight time.
    For a guy who puts on so much weight rehydrating 2lbs could be a lot to cut, maybe too much.

    I agree.

    Which begs the question, why 152lbs, why not just make it 154?

    because floyd is a much smaller fighter and knows from his fights at 154 that isnt a different playing field against a natural 154 lb'er

    He can't be as confident in himself as I am. I still think he'd win pretty comfortably.
