Can we stop acting like 8 lbs is a huge deal? Enough with the fake outrage already

[kilojay505]

Floyd couldn't even go up 7 pounds for Canelo from 147 to 154, he had to weight-drain him down to 152.

So you're basically saying Khan is Floyd's superior because he can handle the 8 pounds easy while Floyd's only shot was to weight-drain Canelo to 152?

Fair enough, we can roll with that.

Lol @ canelo was drained to 152 from 154. He was not drained it was 2 lbs! He's a professional athlete not a aids victim 2lbs didnt make a differece and besides canelos teamed signed up to fight mayweather at 150 and floyd let him slide to 152 quit crying because your mexican ginger snaped got beat

Pretty sure canelo said 150 two years prior to the fight when his body was still growing

Canelo was eating grass for weeks to make weight ffs

Quit making excuses for floyd he was ped abusing knob who did whatever to gain the upper hand including becoming a catch weight King

After all the stick people like you have manny for having catch weights and now you defend this ****

If floyd was so great he would have fought canelo at his best which was 154 and he would not need to use peds which he pretty much got caught red handed using substances to cover it up

Canelo weighed in at 153 the fight before Mayweather.

Im sorry did I offend you Mrs. Alverez? your poor mijo was still growing wasnt he? STFU your the only one making excuses and making up facts about when the negotiations were made and his diet. Were you a Paid memeber of his team back then? Didnt think so you were just one of his many sanchas gtfo here with that crybaby bs. You made yourself look like a complete moron with that post. Do you realize you're criticizing Floyd for 2 lbs while trying to defend Canelo for 8lbs lol your not the brightest bulb are you?

[Xoahr]

If 8 lbs isn't a huge deal, why is Canelo being such a diva about going up 5 lbs to fight Golovkin in his mandatory WBC title defence, at the full MW limit?

[RetroSpeed05]

Khan has the frame to move up and carry the weight well. He's not some tiny WW.

Yes because height means bigger? Has the Fame? You like how Lopez also looked next to Canelo.

[Tom Cruise]

It's not just the weight, it's that Khan hasn't done a damn thing at welterweight and has been chinny at every single weight he's fought at. That's not going to change when he fights a damn middleweight.

This is a fight where a bigger, stronger, more skilled middleweight with the stylistic advantage is fighting an unproven welterweight with a glass chin. It's terrible and people should be heavily criticizing the fight. It's like Sergey Kovalev fighting Martin Murray.

Spot on.

All that needs to be said really

Bigger frame means the ability to carry more muscle without getting bulky. Khan has the frame to do it. Lopez should have put more effort into his workouts.

It's the first boxing event being held at the brand new stadium in the Vegas Strip. Of course they were going to go for the big names. Khan and his handlers have no issue with the weight whatsoever, and neither should you.

It's 8 lbs for crying out loud, and Khan is a big guy. I'm sure you've all seen his "off season" pictures at the beach. He looks close to 180 lbs which is likely what Canelo walks around at too. Even so, "walk around" weight doesn't matter when there are weight classes in place.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Khan weighs in higher than Canelo, probably in the ball park of 154.5 and still look healthy and lean too.

Canelo will win, but it won't be by knockout. It will be a UD win.

I agree. This is more than a fight, it's an event with the intent to open the new arena with a bang. They needed big names so that's what they went out and got.

It's nothing more than that.

He doesnt. He is naturally skinny and tall for his weight.

His bones arent big enough to stack on muscle without it affecting his stamina, speed, balance etc
