    Why would there be "special" rules for PED testing/OST?

    :lol::rofl Of course, in your blinkered glasses, you've only seen 2 or 3. But there've been loads from May fans before and after the Guerrero win. When Canelo beat Trout, it sent shivers down their spines and many of them (lost ****in' count) claimed he doesn't need to fight Canelo, he's almost 40 years old, he doesn't have to defend his 154 title, Canelo should be capped on how much he rehydrates back up to, Canelo should come down to 147, etc. Pathetic, and yet very typical.

    Last time I checked, there are no [upper] weight limit specs for that weight class. And lower weight are welcome too...

    Go figure.

    I know you're smart enough to realise that some Floyd fans are embarrassed by these efforts to dismiss the Canelo fight mate.
    I've always felt that Floyd has enough to take it,and a rehydration clause was always going to be bargaining chip.
    Seems to me some people are losing site of the fact that if this fight doesn't happen,it'll be because GBP's idea of a fair split might not be palatable to Floyd.

    turbotime, the poster you've addressed, didn't imply/hasn't shown he's a pac-****, imo, unless you're now defining turbo to be one?

    apparently Floyd wants Canelo at 147. Canelo's camp have offered a catchweight of 151 which has been rejected

    Sorry, you probably have limited knowledge, or awareness.

    First, we haven't heard Mayweather's side of the story regarding the alleged 147 lbs demand of Alvarez, so stop reaching with your long diatribe.

    Secondly, Pacquiao not only demanded that Martinez should come down to 147 (from 160) to fight him, he specified a rehydration clause of 150 lbs as well.

    How can mayweather fans say this ****. The amount of abuse they gave Manny Pac for putting in catchweights and rehydration clauses etc etc.

    I thought this was floyds thing, to fight people at there comfortable weight.

    Look its simple, floyd can still make 147 so i don't have to fight at 154 if he don't want to.

    But as a Boxing fan i want competetive fights, not mismatches. And i also believe Floyd could be ranked with the ATG's like leonard and Duran if he was prepared to take a few extra risks.
    I want to see him in a 50/50 fight to see what happens.

    Alvarez isn't even that good. He just happens to be the most competetive fight available right now.

    Oh, of course. I've noticed quite a few decent Mayweather fans like Hands of Iron and, erm, yeah, Hands of Iron has been calling them out for it, too. So that's nice to see. It's just those ******ed ones I'm addressing. That's all.

    You're not gonna' hear anything from Mayweather's side on it. They're just gonna' remain silent. They have to, considering their history of dissing catchweights and stuff. They're never gonna' come out and say "yep, we did try to drag Canelo down". They're just gonna' accept 154 and pretend like they never asked for 147.

    Oh, and regarding Pac asking Sergio to come to 150, guess what, so did Mayweather :rofl.

    “If Sergio Martinez can make 150, let’s make the fight happen,”

    Limited knowledge. Pfftt :lol:
