we'll never know what would happen at 154 if they demand Canelo make 152 and rob him of his purse if he doesn't.
I think Floyd has a bigger share of B level opposition and cheated vs JMM and Ortiz with an unsportsmanslike conduct
I see Floyd keeping a steady pace from round one with the intention of not letting Canelo rest and stall like he likes to do. But as soon as Floyd tastes his power and those body shots he'll be hesitant and the fight will slow down allowing Canelo to save up to throw in bursts. I think Canelo will at some point hurt Mayweather and get him out of there probably mid to late rounds. Canelo is so much better offensively than anyone Floyd has fought in a long time and he's going to hit Floyd and I don't think Floyd wlll take it well. Canelo tko round 9.
so youre saying that canelito's opposition is better than floyds? and Ortiz intentionally headbutting Floyd and then Floyd hitting Ortiz on the break after cortez initiated the fight is considered unsportsmanlike conduct? like I said. ill take Floyd. you take canelo. you should have no problem backing the bigger, stronger, younger, soon to be hall-of-fame canelo here, right?
The only time he was this mythical "destroyer" was when he knocked out a shop worn, bloated argentine fighter in Baldomir. He does not punch nearly as hard as some will make him out to do, and he's not nearly as great a finisher as some mexican fanboys would suggest. Canelo is quite average, but he is a pretty skilled kid.
So if Floyd beats him at 152 it doesn't count and if Floyd beats him at 154 it doesn't count. *******s got this locked tight.
Which makes him not so average. Canelo is B-Tier working on becoming A-Tier. The kid is a good all-round fighter.
Well everyone he fights "seems" like B level against him. We don't notice until after the fight though. Everyone thought the other guy had a chance until we saw them in the ring together. JMM admitted that he MM was better and Ortiz took the easy way out. Go watch the third round and notice how Ortiz just gives up.
He has the time to easily make the weight or he shouldn't be in the weight class. If your body can't do something you shouldn't try to do it.
Yeah!! We don't want no excuses!! Fight at the weight of the belts. They both hold 154 lb belts!! Make it a true super fight!! Give the fans what they want Floyd!! Go for glory, and may the best man win. No excuses! No BS!!
it's still a "catchweight" in that they're meeting at a weight in between weight division limits. i don't have a problem with it...although it would have been better at 154 simply so no one would *****
im not advocating what Floyd did was right in bringing down canelito to 152 but hes going to do whatever he can to get an advantage in the fight. canelitos probably not coming in at 152 anyway and should pay the fine. hes going to get beat handily at 154 and 152 will be that much worse.
