As soon as I heard about the catch-weight, I knew people would give him hell. And honestly, he deserves a lot of that for being a hypocrite about the whole idea of catch-weights. That being said, I find it a bit interesting that no ones gives a fvck about Pacquiao-Rios taking place in a division where Rios has never fought before. Just kind of shows the double standard a lot of fans have.
in the real world away from the trolls on here, nobody cares about the cw of a measly 2 lbs
millions upon millions of fans are happy the fight was made
if anyone thinks 2 lbs will make or break the fight, then they are a moron
floyd's agreeing to fight canelo at 152 is new, why you even mentioning abt manny here.
so tell me, is fighting canelo at 152 same as fighting him at 154?
I brought up manny because I thought your issue was fighter hypocricy, not just floyd's hypocricy.
IMO no. I think 2 lbs will make a difference, same as I said it did when manny fought cotto.
back then, posters like you said it didn't make a difference. lets hope you are not hypocritical
Floyd beats Alvarez at full JMW, the catchweight is stupid
he just can't resist making a fool of himself
there's no need for the catchweight, Alvarez has nothing on Floyd
the size difference wouldn't matter, Alvarez has shit stamina
Floyd is quick enough to outbox him without a problem
at least manny never mentioned "i'd only fight fighters at their comfortable weight or best weight"
manny said he had nothing more to prove against JMM then fought him a 4th time. were you as criticial of hypocricy then?
posters like you have something you can criticize floyd for and you are running with it. floyd crapped on Manny in the run up to cotto. so now manny's diehard fans are finding a way to make this worse than that when they are the same thing.
at least manny never mentioned "i'd only fight fighters at their comfortable weight or best weight"
Manny and his team also said let the commision do their job, now they are taking OST, the exact same thing that they fought so hard against when it was for the sport of boxing, and for MILLIONS more than he could ever dream to get for a Rios fight.
Manny : I'll do OST for 15-20 million fight.
2013
Manny : I won't do OST for 30-40 million.
2009
Talk about being a hypocrite. Not to mention the we never tested positive thing and they go str8 towards Marquez calling him a cheat and Marquez never tested positive.
Lets be serious, Mayweather was getting no credit for the Canelo fight even at 154...they would have just said he was slow and green.
All Mayweather did was save them the time from excuse thinking.
funny because i could've sworn you are one of those stans who downplayed mayweather-hatton and championed NO to extra testing. see how easy it is to turn this game of yours around on you?
it's normal not to believe a KTFO6 fan nowadays with all the flip-flopping and hypocrisy.
anyway, it's hilarious how aggressive you are to random people, leads me to believe you caught feelings at one point and got hurt.
carry on, woman.
:lol1:
expect to see plenty of this. the same guys who had no problem with manny/cotto at 145 and that it was fine will now say 2 lbs makes a huge difference. they aren't worried about being consistent they just have something they can run with and they are running with it hard.
are you sure? maybe you're only saying that now because you're on the wrong side of the fence.
Yeah I'm sure. Why are questioning it??? I've always listed Cotto as a good win for Pac.
you must be new in boxing. moving up one weight class is very common in boxing and it's retarded to make an issue out it.
broner is moving up 2 weight classes. pac did it too so I don't know why your blabbering about double standard.

Mayweather did lots of bragging about himself only fighting guys at the weight they fight at and are comfortable at. He did lots of trashing of Pacquiao for fighting Cotto at a top weight of 145 for Cotto's welterweight title. Then Mayweather, who is the current WBA 154 pound superchamp tells Canelo they will fight for the 154 pound title at 147 or no fight. They settled on 152 so Mayweather is having Canelo lose the same two pounds that he and some of his fans gave Manny so much crap about. He is a liar and a hypocrite but 152 is not so bad and good for Schaefer for getting this great fight made. Schaefer said he would put this fight together and I did not think he could, but he did. Both Mayweather and Canelo gave in and I give Floyd credit for taking this dangerous fight against a bigger, much younger fighter.
Who cares if there is a 2 lb catchweight? Nobody is golng to feel sorry for Floyd when he walks into the ring with a dude that is going to outweigh him by 20 lbs. Floyd haters will always find something to bidtch about. Always...
but the best fight in boxing in terms of box office was just made and like I said in another thread, kudos to Floyd, Canelo, and Shaefer for making this fight. Most didn't think Floyd would even fight in September, nor fight Canelo. So now they have something to cry about. Everyone wins!
This ^^^^^
I aint a big Floyd fan but he can never win with the fans can he
people said he wouldnt fight Canelo - He is
people said he wont fight Canelo this year - He is
People were saying he would make Canelo fight at 147 - Not happening
We are 4 months from the fight!! Canelo will easily make 152 for the weigh in and will weigh about 170 on fight night so what is the issue? Apart from people looking for bullshit excuses to talk shit and being little bitches instead of just being happy the fight is happening in the first place
Why can't they weigh in the same time Floyd weighed in against Oscar and Cotto
Because Oscar and Cotto didnt blow up to 170+ the day of the fight since they both are naturally smaller men than Canelo just like Floyd. I bet you thought Light Heavy and Super Middle were legit and natural weight classes for Sugar Ray Leonard as well.
Or the fairest alternative, Floyd and Canelo both weigh 154 or less 1 hour before the fight. No weight advantage for either fighter. If Canelo refused, would he then become the bytch?
That's even worse than the 152 catch weight. JMW do not weigh 154 on fight night, most WW weigh more than 154 on fight night. Canelo would have zero chance at being able to meet that requirement.
Floyd has fought at 154 with no problems. But because Canelo is actually in his prime unlike DLH and Cotto it suddenly became a problem.
Alovarez is NOT in his prime, he's a 22 year old kid with his best days to come in the next 4-6 years. He had NO amateur career, and is learning on the job. Yes the ignorant casual fans have been urging him to fight the top men for the past 2-3 years when he was obviously not ready. He's only had one real test, Trout, and he needs at least 3-4 more. He's being fed into this fight far too quickly, something like David Reid and Fernando Vargas against Trinidad, although a better case can be made for Vargas who, at least, had beaten a few top men.

It takes everything away from the fight. The alternative was Floyd to stop being a bytch and fight without the catch weight.

listen you moron...it's normal no to believe a Floyd fan nowadays with all the flip-flopping and hypocrisy that's why I asked him a question to get a reaction. I want to find out if I could separate him from the rest then your sore ass butted in with the convo.
and don't tell me about the search function because a lot of you have already changed their usernames or got banned and are posting as alts.
lmao. u are basically stating my point for me. carry on tho.

well then u will be in the minority who feels that way. if u do feel that way then thats your opinion and its not my job to convince u otherwise. i guess the event is ruined for u which is unfortunate but im also wasting time talking to u about it.
