Shouldnt floyd have asked for a limit instead of useless catchweight the guys only 23? if he comes in weighing light heavyweight limit will that play a role in the fight?
Canelo agreed to weigh in at 152......yet you cry babies are still crying lmao! **** are you talking about? The CW will not be your excuse when and if Canelo loses just know that. You won't have **** to fall back on as long as I'm posting.
When Floyd gets knocked out you clowns will be crying that Canelo weighed 195 lbs on Fight Night and Floyd just 147 lbs.
Even Trout said he was suprised how big and strong Canelo was on fight night(and he weighed 10lb more than trout who himself would weigh around 10lb more than floyd is a much bigger taller guy than floyd), I dont think people will realise the size/mass difference until they see them in the ring together with canelos wing span probably being around double if not more than floyds wingspan
Wait what?
Canelo weighed 1 lb more than Trout on fight night.
And Floyd has a slightly longer "wingspan" than Canelo..

And floyd isnt? :AOR:
of course floyd is.
but so is any poster who said floyd is ducking canelo and wouldn't fight him. I wonder what kind of low boxing IQ poster felt this fight wouldn't happen? Canelo isn't afraid of needles or is trying to negotiate when testing is cutoff.
Ohh, yeah, it's happening alright. But your mancrush needed a catchweight to do it.
154, 152, 112 you were still wrong about the fight not happening.
wait. Canelo said the fight had to be at 154. it isn't. is he a hypocrite?
The WBC pick and choose rules to enforce when it involves mayweather.
not saying they dont. because they do. and im not even singling out canelo. i think there should be rules against it across the board. me commenting on this has nothing in particular to do with this fight, per se. i dont think the weight will make a difference at all. but that doesnt make it ok for canelo or any other fighter including guys like broner, chavez etc to rehydrate 2 divisions up.
I think it's an either/or situation. Correct me if I'm wrong TS, but you were suggesting that its either a CW or a rehydration clause right? Not both.
A two pound CW is fine. A rehydration limit is better. Both is too much. That's as bad as Leonard with LaLonde.
Dominicano Soy: I agree completely. Canelo doesn't have the exact stuff to do it really well and I don't really think he's as good as Castillo was at that stage, but along with his size and Floyd's age and decline, what he currently has could prove to be Floyd's hardest fight. His foot speed, mobility and stamina are his clearest flaws to exploit, but if he can counter well and wait on Floyd rather than trying to lead the whole fight, then a lot of that will be negated.
It's difficult to predict, but those people thinking this is an easy night are nuts. Those thinking that the 2 pound CW means anything are just as nuts. That should help Canelo. Bringing him in lighter and quicker on his feet should be their gameplan.
I've always said rehydration rules should be in place for every fight. There is simply no point in having so many weight divisions if fighters and commissions just end up completely ignoring them by letting them come in at completely separate weight classes to what they are meant to be fighting in and what division each are meant to be fighting in together. If fighters are coming in to fight at completely different weight divisions during the fight, what is the point of having weight limits? It really only serves to keep fighters semi close in weight, but they can still be literally divisions apart by fight time.
They are in place specifically to keep fighters of the same size fighting each other. That simply doesn't happen much these days. It's too often that one fighter comes in with a division or two, or three more on his opponent. It makes no sense to have it that way.

Dawson blew back up, Rios vs Murray and Abril blew up a lot, but he looked like death otherwise, esp at the weighin.
/yeah and Rios was gassed bad especially against Abril. Rios said that when he fights Pacman at 147 his stamina will be better from being allowed to eat more carbs for energy in camp before he would have to cut out vital nutrients just to make weight. This is why Pacmans stamina improved when he jumped to 135 and than 140's because in the Barrera rematch he was gassed bad, Roach even said Pac was grump from cutting weight he looked like skeletor at the weigh ins too.
I hope that Canelo disregards the catchweight and comes in at 154, and comes in over 170. You loved when Rios came in bigger than everyone, and Margarito also. Both got their asses kicked by boxers. I like Canelo. Even though he is unproven, he has skills. You'll penis ride Canelo until he loses, and probably jump on Matthysse's bandwagon.
He's not supposed to anyways. Under the WBCs rules he's not supposed to rehydrate over 168lbs on fight night. This wouldn't be an issue if these rules were actually enforced. But we know in boxing the only way anything gets enforced is when someone actually gets hurt.

Excellent point ts. In addition to the greatest fighter ever needing a catchweight to fight in a division he's a 2 time champ in, he should have had a hydration clause. Because skills only wins fights when it's Floyd cheating the scales.
sour grapes from a poster that doubted this fight would happen.
i think if your coming in at 170 on fight night you should really be fighting at middleweight or maybe even super middleweight. but the way it is now, guys can be at the top of their divisions based on weight rather than skill because they have big weight advantages on fight night.

Nobody gave a fuqq about Chavez weighing 180 on fight nights. They mentioned it but nobody ever said Sergio shouldn't let him come in that heavy. For Floyd though we have to make changes to accommodate him. Lol CW of 152 is enough.
It genuinely wouldn't make the slightest difference. Floyd could win, Canelo could go on to become a HOF great and they'd just say he was green, he still sucked and Floyd cherry picked him because he was only 22.
I've come to the realisation recently that no matter what he does, he'll get genuine hate. He actually couldn't do anything that would appease his detractors. He could fight Martinez at 160, win, and they'd say "Martinez got old over night".
He could have fought Pac back when both sides were ****ing up the fight and if he won, even the most rabid Pac fans would have said "Pac was overrated".
It doesn't matter.

if your a poster who comes to NSB for the sole purpose of bashing floyd (retnoucllup, junior gong, pac boy, hugh grant, DTMB, herobando, twosweethooks, evol, straightleft, ifctitles etc etc.) no matter what he does they will bash him because thats what they specialize in.
For the rest of us-the 152 absolutely gives floyds haters/manny fans/klit lovers/canelo fans something to poke floyd fans with. I'd simply refer them to what they said about manny v cotto. If they didn't feel 145 was a big deal-call them on it hen they ***** and moan about floyd.
When they tell you floyds a hypocrite, just say yeah and remind them of manny's ped change.

WBC is supposed to limit it anyways. ppl act like there arent rules against what canelo does. it is technically cheating accoding to at least 2 of the orgs because u are not supposed to gain more than 10% of your body weight at weigh in. mebbe if that was the case, the whole 152 lb catchweight wouldnt have ever been necessary in the first place. its easy to blame one party, namely floyd, when the whole damn system is messed up. thats why i find it hard to even blame him for looking out for himself because in a sense, him fighting a guy who can potentially weigh 170+ on fight night is him getting cheated.
