    If Canelo does win tonight, maybe a fight with Rubio for the WBC MW title happens next (like Chavez did with Zbik and Sergio being moved out of the way). I could see Canelo milking the belt on Showtime eventually fighting Quillin.

    All these mexican ****ers should get together and attend a seminar about nutrition.

    Every signle week there's always some mexican either coming in overweight or going to the weight in looking like skeletor after dehydrating 20lbs...

    Canelo was most likely weight drained vs. Floyd- another exampled of Floyd needing all the advantages. But yes, the $$ was far too good to pass up.

    canelo's team offered 152
    Floyd wouldn't have taken the fight at 154 anyway, but canelo's team offering the catchweight pretty much takes away the opinion of people saying that Floyd is somehow discredited for fighting canelo at that weight

    Of course. Floyd and his team pulls the wool over fans eyes all the time.

    The 152lb catchweight is what really beat Canelo, the actual match was just a sparring session.

    you can't be serious
    Floyd has moved up from super featherweight, all the way up to fight canelo at 152, and you're telling me that Floyd is "pulling the wool over his fans eyes", for a fight that team canelo offered at a catchweight...

    According to who? Floyd's team?
    Exactly. You take his words as the bible and he must have you brainwashed.

    Canelo and his team said it was Floyd and Ellerbe that wanted the catchweight, but you forgot about that right and only believe what Floyd says?

    Alvarez should move up to 160 and fight Golovkin. Golovkin should not fight him in Texas with Laurence Cole as ref though and watch out for the judges.

    Floyd had already fought @ full 154 twice and was the champion at that weight also. :deal

    Why the 152 catchweight against Alvarez?...... poor kid had to pay Angulo $100,000 to move the weight from 154 to 155 pounds. :deal
