Is there a re-hydration limit for Canelo?

That ain't right. Just because Floyd stays the same weight, that's his prerogative. No one told him he has to do that. If anything, given his style, that's probably better than coming in heavier. P.S. Have you seen Floyd @ 154 (I know he weighs 152)? The guy looks chiseled beyond belief. He doesn't want to put on weight, that's his choice. The same goes for Canelo. Ive got the chance to meet Floyd and watch him spar. And I can tell you he might not even break 150lbs. He's real small. But your right he seems to be putting on more muscle as he gets older.

The WBC is supposed to have a rule in title fights that a fighter can rehydrate no more than 10%, so that would mean Canelo has to weigh no more than 167. they never follow that crap as evidenced by the trout fight.

No, there is no re-hydration clause in the contract or boxing scene headlines would have said so. They are pretty thorough covering details like that. Isn't Canelo fighting for the 154 pound title at 152 bad enough? Canelo is not going to put up with a re-hydration clause. He would have told Floyd to shove it. Elerbe said Canelo can re-hydrate to 200 pounds if he wants to and Floyd will still kick his ass. Canelo has to weigh in at 152 pounds or less. If he gains more than about 10 to 15 pounds max in the 30 to 32 hours between the weigh in and the fight it would do him more harm than good. His true stripped down weight going in to the ring will probably be about 165 pounds and Floyd will probably weigh 10 or 12 pounds less. Those HBO or Showtime fight night weigh ins are not the weight of a boxer in his underpants. They weigh them shortly before they go in the ring and that weight includes boxing gloves, boxing shoes and boxing trunks. That stuff is not weighless. That's why it's called an unofficial weigh in.

no limit at all these mfkas on here literally hate boxing

172 is too much weight. In order to deal with Floyds movement and hand speed Canelo has to be faster. 165 is probably closer to where he wants to be. And if Canelos really in tip top shape he wont blow up after the weigh in.

First time I heard about re-hydration clause was when Floyd was flirting with a fight with Winky, so I wouldn't doubt if they tried put something on there.

Same day weigh-in is banned right? I just hope there's no sting in the tail on this.

It it is, it'll be absolute bollocks. Having a cw is bad enough already

it's not about what's smart.... it's about what's right.... That ain't right. Just because Floyd stays the same weight, that's his prerogative. No one told him he has to do that.

So, you think it's smart for Canelo to only drink water, the night before the fight??? it's not about what's smart.... it's about what's right....

If I were advising him I would train to rehydrate to 165, no more! His best sparing will probably be at 158-162, so thats what your looking for as you rehydraste from 52 BUT you can overdue it easily and rehydrate yourself right out of shape!! Then you will have ups & downs during a fight and if you get stuck in the "downs" you get your butt kicked (ala Dawson vs Ward) 152 to 172 is way to much, he has a thick body but he's also a short guy like Floyd! Ray. Floyd isn't as physical as Ward, and he doesn't pump the jab non stop like Trout. Nelo can afford some lulls in the action from time to time.

Ellerbe already confirmed there is no rehydration limit. Cheers! Be interesting to see if Canelo goes for sheer size as his primary key to victory. Nothing else has seemed to work to beat Floyd so far. Should be a good'un.

should be... but i doubt it..... canelo's team weren't willing to budge on ****.... they should have set the weight at 154, with the provision being he couldn't come in over 160..... So, you think it's smart for Canelo to only drink water, the night before the fight???

There will probably be a re-hydration clause ( and a fine) if Canelo fails to make the 152 limit.
