    one of the few smart people who see this

    Floyd can't even make 154. Canelo is biggggggg and has no re-hydration clause so it does make it more fair

    And speaking of sleazy weight advantages. Canelo drags Lopez and Hatton to 154, then he puts on the 170 weight and no one complains

    could you guys imagine how much heat would Andre Ward get if he dragged Canelo to 175 and destroyed him??? why? because he is not popular

    So this canelo vs mayweather fight teaches us two undeniable facts. . .

    Canelo belongs at 160 and floyd belongs at 147. period

    Odds were already heavily in favor for Floyd. He's insecure, or someone who makes his decisions is.

    Purpose of those few pounds is to prevent Canelo rehydrating to 170+.

    Of course ,thats why I made point about Hopkins ..I mean he was at middle for 10 yrs before he faced Oscar ,for Canelo to go up from welter to jr middle is more taxing considering the amount of time given ..

    Everybody is different ,I mean I bet if Hopkins wanted too he could still make 160 ..Hey but if you have been in that position please by all means share how easy it is to shed that weight when you have no body fat !

    You went along with the comparison.

    "Hopkins had more time to adjust to 160 because he started at 175" :nut


    The hell kind of logic is that
