    I can't really make sense of your post but it sounds like you're agreeing with me

    Exactly. Though the size advantage isn't fair, the true fan of the sport should be able to put any advantage disparities into proper context when later assessing the fight. It's not like Canelo leans on his opponents and tries to wear them down, he want's to counter and catch you with a bomb. That's where his mass is used most effectively; punching force generation.

    Like you said, unless he catches Floyd with a bomb he doesn't see, I see Alvarez being made to look silly in there. He swings at air a lot now with his hard punching. With Floyd, he would likely look like he just took up the sport and gas sooner than usual.

    He is, he just must have misunderstood your post. I noticed it a little bit back, but he's taking it in every hole he has, with no KY Jelly, in this thread. I can see his reasoning for lashing out inappropriately. :lol:

    Canelo is not a light heavyweight. Look if you want to change boxing for the better have the weighin on the day of the fight.

    TS bein a baby back *****

    154 is 154 ****ing deal with it. How the **** you be champ at a division and be scared of one of its top fighters

    Ortiz came in at 164 and that didn't stop nobody, Cotto probably came in mid 160s also.

    Canelo has more then a punchers chance. He is a thinker, and it will take a thinker yo go in and beat Mayweather.

    And Canelo comes in at or under 154 each time, where Floyd is 2x and current champ,

    Also, I know Floyd is a small guy, but what the hell was up with them showing fight night weights for every fight on the card except Floyd's? He keeps passing on these next day weighins, I really thought he'd step on the scale this time since he was on weight early. Very strange.

    True .. I would say Im taking in every hole :lol:


    Its ridiculous to think its ok for any fighter to out weigh his opponent by 20lb only because the rules allow it.

    This rules was made to protect fighter from severe dy-hydration, but now its being mis used to gain an advantage.

    but some of these numb skull seem to think that its fair. Well I take that back , they know its not fair , but as long as the advantage is against Floyd then its OK.

    Regardless of what people say, the main reason this fight is interesting is because Alvarez has so much natural size on Mayweather. IF he were a welter itd be a lot less interesting.

    Still no reason for Floyd not to go for it though.

    First of all ******** Duran fought him for the middleweight title not for the 168 title and second Barkley was huge he used to rehydrate close to 20 its is obvious to anyone that has seen the Duran-Barkley fight that Barkley was much bigger than Duran even the guys doing commentary for the fight said Barkley was probably a light heavyweight on fight night,he always had trouble with weight and was a massive weight cutter so much so that a few months after fighting Toney for the IBF title a fight where Barkley was severely weight drained he was fighting at ****ing heavyweight. Its clear YDKSAB.

    Yes, it will a fight night light heavyweight like Martinez or Canelo to beat Mayweathher...and even their chances are slim. No one can make him fight those guys though.

    Pac vacated Junior Middleweight ASAP when Martinez and Williams came callin'
