    You have the wrong one. Basically you're telling me that Canelo's people don't care about their fighter.

    You don't have to tell me what I already know. Tell it to the poster that I was talking to.

    let me get this straight, 2 boxers negotiated a weight that they both were comfortable with and mayweather gets the blame for it being at 152. Did mayweather even have to fight him? I remember his side 147 or nada, and now they are fighting at 152 in which canelo will be fighting fight night at close to 170 and u guys still want to blame mayweather and call him catchweight king when the guys comes in at 151 tops. U fans, critics, haters, boxing wannabes are totally insane

    exactly...see previous post...i stated Pac/Cotto was a great fight...if your fighting at 154 or 147 and you are fighting the smaller fighter at a 2lb difference...wtf is the problem.....2lbs throw your whole game or fight off...then how much of a world class fighter are you....2 friggin lbs it aint a whole weight class

    I understand weight can cause an effect i really do....but 2lbs..hardly

    Canelo is young and is hardly taking any damage. 2 lbs is nothing for a 22 year old he can lose that easily. Hell I can drop 2 pounds in a day and I'm almost 25

    Pacman gets Cotto at a catch weight 145... 2lbs under 147... both agree that's why the fight happens... Pacman is the catchwight king

    Mayweather gets Canelo at a catch weight 152... 2lbs under 154... both agree that's why the fight happens... Mayweather is NOT the catchwieght king

    See the inconsistency?


    Having said that... Mayweather said Canelo's team put it forward that they would flight fight at 152 even... so obviosuly Mayweather is not going to say NO, I want it at 154... because Canelo's team is saying they will fight even at 152.... so I personally don't blame Mayweather... but you cannot call Pacman catchweight king either

    How is it delusional to say that Arum wanted to make the Pacquiao Mayweather fight?
