    if you have weigh ins on the day of the fight Canelo will not be anymore than 160 or 162.

    I know Oscar had a good size advantage, but was it really 168?

    why are so many against the two best facing off against each other?

    if canelo/Floyd goes down this September I will offer a lifetime esb ban bet that Floyd beats canelo if there are no fouls or headbutts, intentional or unintentional.

    I mean, there is no way Floyd can beat a 172-pound man, right?

    lotta mouths here on the esb forum that have pussies instead of balls.

    I'll be surprised if they fought as well. I told my homie that I would never bet against Floyd until he gives me reason to, but yeah, Saul is a SMW on fight night ... Not sure if that would be a good look for Floyd.

    Well I heard he was 165 but still ODLH was a proud champion who foght a lot of very tough opponents ... but were talking about a 22/23 yr old with lots of power who walks around at the 170lb mark. ODLH was defintely not shot like some haters say when he fought Floyd, but he wasn't in his prime per say. (For the record I think Floyd beats ODLH in his prime at a lighter weight as ODLH tended to fade as his fights progressed into later rds.)

    Floyd is 5 foot 8 inches
    Canelo is 5 foot 7 inches

    according to ***** LOGIC , Floyd is the bigger guy


    seeing everyone thought JMM was the "bigger guy" in the ring on fight night, even though he never fought at 140 or 147
    everyone claimed the Ghost was the bigger man, even though 85% of his fights were at super featherweight and lower

    and super middleweights are light heavyweights and cruiserweights on their fight nights, and cruiser weights are heavyweights on their fight nights....so your point is invalid

    Oh and he was walking down middleweights in sparring who in all likelihood were actually weighing somewhere in the smw range

    Weight is not the issue, the issue is Canelo has vastly improved, had it just been the same old come forward Canelo I am sure Floyd would jump on that fight, But after his fight with Trout he saw a different style that Canelo can use.... which would force Floyd to use his legs allot more than he is accustom to...

    Bottom line its not the weight he fears its the ass whippen he will get that he fears
