    I dunno why Floyd never agreed on 154 - the heavier Canelo is, the easier this fights gonna be for him. Canelo is so flat footed sometimes I think his feet are glued to the canvas

    You must've missed the second episode of All Access. It was explained on there you dip ****. In the words of the great Leonard Ellerbe: Blame Caneloe's inept management team. :deal
     
  3. I think he is. Hence 152.

    Canelo is fast young and strong. And the kid can box.

    Floyd can seriously lose this fight. Easy work my asa
     
  4. Yes lets all listen to Leonard :rofl

    Mayweather wanted 147 then 150. They agreed to 152. If not the fight wouldn't happen

    no offense, but you must be an IDIOT to listen to anything that comes out the mayweather camp. Don't you know they have a history or fabricating the truth to make themselves look as good as possible?


    Here's the real detail:
    “The two sides agreed to a catch-weight of 152-pounds, but Reynoso says it wasn’t easy. Initially, Chepo [Reynoso] claims Mayweather wanted a catch-weight of 150-ounds, and Canelo wanted the full junior middleweight limit of 154. Mayweather and Canelo finally agreed to meet in the middle, with both giving up two pounds in weight.”

  6. Floyd fans will believe anything out of the Mayweather camp. Floyd can do no wrong :rofl

    I'll say it again Canelo call out Floyd, Floyd responded yes, De La Hoya responded no. Canelo pulled out of the undercard of the Mayweather/Guerrero fight wanting a guarranty that his next fight would be Mayweather.

    Is Floyd intimidated by Canelo's size: No, he would not have tried to fight him earlier. The 2 pounds I think is a bit of pay back for leaving the under card, Canelo got the fight he wanted be lost 2 lbs. to get it.

    I will also say this one more time I believe Canelo will move to 160 lbs. weight class after this fight win or lose. I'm predicting a lose

    Yes, exactly. He doesnt like it and so its expected that the volume punchers he has faced are merely decent-level fighters. Who are Hatton and N'dou threatening? The good volume punchers on the other hand - Pacquiao, P.Williams and Margarito - were all avoided, and they would all devour the competition level of Hatton and N'Dou.

    I agree. Floyd Must have reach advantage too.
    They are fighting at the same weight level.

    Hahah. Now that's dragging yourself down to someone's significantly lower level.

    Canelo is not as strong advertised.

    Strong fighters can hold the middle of the ring.
    Alvarez couldn't even back up Alphonso Gomez and had to go rounds with him.

    Cotto VAPORIZED Gomez.

    Whenever Shane wanted a break...he simpley grabbed Canelito and walked him backwards.

    Mosley couldn't do that to Floyd.
