That's beside the point. He's getting his biggest pay day and if he thought he deserved more he would have or asked for a catch weight during negotiations. Again, money talks and it's not till after the fact he's going to start making the excuse of weight because the inks on the paper.
He's already preparing his excuses. And if he didn't think he could win then he shouldn't have signed.
I don't know if you've been living under a rock, but nobody really thinks Lopez will win. So you said he begged, then changed to accepting offers, now they don't matter??
He signed to fight because he's a fighter & the payday may be the biggest that he'd ever get. Of course he would have preferred a catchweight, he's 140lber. But the blame for this travesty is right where it should be. Right smack dab in ginger's lap. The only champion in boxing that doesn't fight in his division.
Offers & begging are not the same. Again, do you think Lopez got this fight because he begged for it??

Offer him Canelo or another GBP fighter. Which would he take?
Exactly.

Oh now he's complaining after signing to get his biggest pay day yet. Beggars can't be choosers.
Wait, are you saying Josesito only got this fight cause he begged for it??
this fight shouldnt be happening. at a catchweight or otherwise.
exactly. This fight should have never happened. Josesito should be fighting Golden Boy's 140 lb stable.
He hasn't fought that great opposition but he's pretty good. I use to hate Ginger but after looking at some of what he does in the ring, such as traps and counters, or how he has become patient and can judge what to do in rounds etc... he is beyond his years. Even James Toney the hater said after watching some tapes and hating him before, Canelo is pretty good.
I really don't consider beating up on Hatton, Gomez, Mosley, Cintron & the countless other no hopers as telling how good he is. Not when Lara, Vanes, Trout, Kirkland & all the other fighters in his own weight class get ignored by his handlers, sorry.
It's only the Floyd groupies that do this.
You got it wrong , asking and forcing is 2 different scenarios , you fellas make the dumbest comparisons , everything has its differences .
I don't think Lopez kept it real in that interview. As a matter of fact I know he didn't He said ginger is a great & fighter & world champion for a reason. I'd like to know the reason. Because it's not because he's a great fighter. It's because he sells tickets. 5 title fights outside his division. The biggest hype job in boxing. Bigger than broner even & that's tough to beat.
I bet he did. But Im also willing to bet he was bullied into this fight by the mob the same way Escobedo was bullied into fighting an overweight Broner.
