    Leonard Ellerbe does, on his twitter he says he doesnt believe it for one second. Floyds picture showed his weight but Canelos didn't. Im not saying they did but its possible to play into Floyds psych, I wouldn't doubt the WBC is pulling for the Mexican.

    why would floyd be pysch? floyd wont flinch. If he is 153 fight night floyd would still penalize the **** out of canelo.

    What does ellerbe thinks canelo weights?

    Well Mayweather and his team do know a little about cheating people on the scales. Maybe talking from experience.

    It does not matter,Floyd knows he will be the smaller guy. The 152 was showing Alvarez who calls the shots and if Alvarez fails to make the weight,it benefits floyd in two ways.
    1 gets more money
    2 mentally it could shake Alvarez up if he has money concerns to deal with 1 day before the fight. I am not saying it is fair but Floyd is a pro and will exploit any weakness he can. Just look at B hop he is famous for bending the rules as far as possible, and why not?

    30 and 7-day weigh-ins are often screwy and should always be taken with a grain of salt IMO.

    Well i remember in an access episode Floyd n his dad we talking about Guerrero struggling to make weight n him being 159, it may be possible they threw off the number a lil so Floyd n his team will think Canelo is going to spend the whole camp taking off weight, when in reality he could be a lot closer to 152

    So they lie to lull Floyd into a false sense of security to give Canelo some sort of advantage in the fight? Ridiculous.

    Even if there was a conspiracy, when has Floyd ever got into the ring under-prepared? He's always in top shape, whether he's fighting Cotto or Henry Brussells. Alvarez could look like he was half-dead trying to make weight, Floyd would still show up like he was fighting Ray Robinson.

    I don't think Mayweather and his team are stupid to allow such tricks to get to them. If anything, I expect the WBC to accommodate Mayweather more than Alvarez. In the end, it's Mayweather that brings the money and major events and that's all the WBC(which is a business) cares about.
