Read an interesting theory on another forum about how Canelo will come in at 154 and take the financial hit, but Oscar will cover it under the table just so Canelo is comfortable, and to psyche out Floyd. Makes sense, imo. Oscar hates Floyd and would happily drop 4 million to see Canelo beat him down, and Floyd would be happy to take an additional 4 million for his trouble. Canelo is definitely going to have a hard time making 152 so this seems very plausible, imo.
thoughts?
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Mayweather said "No fight." if that happened.
he wouldn't be in the graces of GBP if he did that. that would be career suicide after burning bridges at Top Rank/HBO. Floyd is a businessman and is smarter than that. The legal ramifications of that could get ugly. Floyd is obligated to Showtime as well now.
was manny a 2x 147lb champion before he fought cotto the way floyd is a 2x 154lb champion asking a fellow 154lb champion to come in at a catch weight?
try again you worthless poster.
Ah so the belt changes the weight , must be a new rule in boxing , fact is Manny fought Oscar at 147 , and Clottey at 147 each side of Cotto , but forced Cotto to 145 , how does such a valued poster like you interpret that ?

He basically did what Floyd did. Fought once at JMW against Cotto, while Manny fought Oscar once at WW, then Floyd went back down to WW for Guerrero, while Manny went back down to JWW for Hatton. Then in their next fights at weights where they had beaten their opponents savagely (Pacquiao) or won a world championship (Mayweather).
There's obviously Floyd's fight with Oscar, but it was in 2007 and he had 4 fights at WW between them.
Manny fought at 147 both sides of Cotto and forced him to 145 for his 147 title , that's lower than disgusting that's another Manny sham fight .
If Canelo comes in at 154 and Floyd beats him your gunna be fked LOL

canelo should weigh in at 154lbs.
Treat floyd the way floyd treated marquez.
Ive never heard of a 2x champion asking a fellow division champion come in at a catchweight.
DISGUSTING ACT.
Canelo should come in at 154lbs. That would be the righteous thing to do.
Just have chapo guzman pay the fine.

You really think mayweather will give the advantage away? :lol1:
Advantage; lets stop acting like Canelo will step in the ring at 152 or 154. Floyd thinks he will beat Canelo regardless he pulled a powertrip move making him lose the extra weight.
I personally think just my theory they will announce fight week that Canelo will get the extra 2 lbs and the fight will be at a full 154 and Floyd saying we don't need a catchweight to beat him just my theory.

Bringer just moved like five Mayweather-Canelo threads into the sticky and now I can actually more threads on the front page that I missed earlier when they were buried on page 2.
The master threads are starting to pop, the more info we post in there, the better. :fing02:
Yes because he's a professional. Unlike the man he's facing that has a history of missing weight when it comes to catchweights.
Canelo will be drained doe. Which will make his win way more impressive.
a mayweather win over canelo @152 carries no bearing to the majority of boxing fans. it's a sham and should not be taken seriously. :eek:
