I think he should come in at around the same weight as his last 3 fights...235ish.
I agree that it sounds ridiculous but now that I think about it, others(Duran, Armstrong, Leonard, Ketchel) have successfully done this sort of...
I agree that this is a bit sketchy. Is there some concern about Gamboa's longevity? I'm asking because it sounds like Arum is trying to cash in...

The toughest fight of his career?
He fought Mosley on cinco de mayo weekend...
Unless they just throw $20 million at him, it just doesn't make financial sense to ruin Canelo at 21 years old when he'll be a cash cow in Mexico...
It has to be Pacman or Khan. He's already set a precedent of fighting non-Mexicans on cinco de mayo weekend(Mosley) so the date doesn't tip his...
Well, Arreola definitely won't duck him and he'll be looking for a fight in early 2012...
Yes, but getting destroyed(likely) might ruin him despite the increased visibility. Anyone remember Fernando Vargas?
And don't forget about Mr.T fool!
It's comical to mention but he did lose a couple of rounds against Haye.
Don't discount D'Amato's impact. Remember that he also managed Floyd Patterson...the first fighter in history to get a 7 figure purse.
