    He should. Just to **** Mayweather off and getting under Mayweather's skin for trying to drain him within a weight class and by creating the situation where Canelo was apparantly stripped of his WBA Title.

    The WBA cant strip Canelo for coming in at 154 lbs. Thats the limit for that division, they dont care if Canelo were to come in over the contracted limits as long as he does'nt come in over the juniormiddleweight limit.

    As far as rehydration clauses are concerned, I dont see where one could be stipulated legally.

    The reason that weighin's are held a day before a fight is for the very reason to allow fighters to hydrate sufficiently.
    As far as I know, putting a limit to how much a fighter can hydrate is straight out illegal and could cost the sanctioning bodies and promoters their neck in a lawsuit if something should go terribly wrong in the ring with that fighter.

    @farmboxer Floyd is really scared eh, like Floyd would never fight Canelo. Just think Canelo has never fought middleweight like DLH, yet your hero drained Oscar to 147.

    Actually no!

    Pacquiao had only fought once at lightweight after a several fight stay at 130 lbs.

    This was DLH's doing.
    At the time his money fight choices were a prime Margarito at DLH's weight choice, or bring up Pacquiao 3 divisions up from 130 lbs with DLH coming down one division.

    So you basically had DLH moving down one divsion and Pacquiao moving up 3.

    Moving up 3 divisions is the reason why everyone with a brain gave Pacquiao just about zero chance to beat DLH.


    The point is Pacquiao did'nt drain DLH. DLH did it to himself thinking he was going to feast on another small fighter as he'd done his entire career.:lol:

    the penalty will probably be 20 percent of canelitos purse and im sure that Floyd already plans on alvarez not making the contract weight.

    canelo coming in at 154 and weighing 170+ pounds on fight night will have no bearing on the outcome of this fight.

    Floyd is going to land 200+ punches to canelitos 100 and will also outthrow alvarez in the process on his way to an undisputable clear-cut decisive UD win.

    dlh was around a -170 to beat paq on fight night.

    a -170 in boxing would not considered a heavy favorite.

    Legally, that would be considered a breach of contract. I 100% guarantee there is language in the contract which outlines the ramifications for failing to make weight. The punishment could be as much as cancelling the date and covering all of Mayweather's costs in preparing and promoting the bout, or as little as a fine. It all depends on the contract.

    The situation with the Light Middleweight belts has got to be the most confusing thing I've ever seen. If you go to boxrec, and track the LM belts, basically no one ever seems to "win a belt". like a guy wins a belt, then the next fight two other guys are fighting for it. you know what I mean? it's bizzarre.

    For example, the WBA World light middleweight title was on the line in the Trout vs Cotto fight. But that title wasn't on the line in Trout vs Canelo. And now that title is up for grabs this weekend with Angulo vs Lara.

    It seems to be changing day by day, at this moment I can't even check anyone's boxrec, it says "we will upgrading the servers soon..." and doesn't even show the boxer's record. First, a couple of weeks ago, it said you had to login to see the weights, but now it's barely working at all. But there were only two titles listed for Mayweather Canelo last time I checked (a few minutes ago). i don't think anyone has any idea what is going on with the belts. All I know is it should not be this way. If you win a belt, it should be your belt until you lose it, especailly if you are staying active.

    canelo should come in at whatever weight he feels he can perform at his absolute best. pay the penalty if you have to because winning the fight will bring you much more money in the future than what you had to pay to win.
    anyone who thinks floyd is going to have an easy time with canelo must know something floyds team doesnt. there is a reason floyd was busy setting up roadblocks to fight canelo before his guerrero fight. he knows that if a shop worn cotto can give him that hard of a fight, a young talent like canelo is going to give him all he can possibly handle. if he thought he could handle canelo like he handled cotto and dlh, he would not have asked for the catch weight, something he told the world he wouldnt stoop to ever doing. now that he has been pressured into fighting him due to guerrero fight underselling, he desnt care about going back on his word.
    to land a lot of punches on canelo, floyd will have to take a lot of risks, and i am 100 percent certain he is not the man to take such risks. he will be on his scooter for the whole fight trying to potshot any time canelo gets close and then hitting the gas on his scooter.
    i think canelo has the tools to come up with a successful game plan and the power to establish himself as the better man. all of canelos haters were sure that trout would beat canelo and i was sure he wouldnt. it was a close fight but canelo really didnt have any trouble beating him and even had time to show boat and do some clowning. once again, i see canelo being too much for floyd at this stage of their careers.

    bandeedo, don't you think there's something wrong with this whole Mayweather catch weight BS? I mean seriously. he says that he wants Cotto to be at his best, that catch weights are meaningless. then he turns around and demands Canelo drains himself down to 152, and apparantly if he doesn't, Canelo loses 20% of the purse?? And doesn't get a chance to win Mayweather's belt? WTF Money May, you've got to be friggin kidding me.

    This is such a ***** move by Floyd it's not even funny.
