I completely agree. He could pull a Mayweather on Mayweather. The look on Mayweather's face would be priceless too. No belts at stake so what difference does it make? He might lose a few million though. I still think he should come in at 154
there'll be no excuses if he weighs 152..... especially when they get his unofficial weight at 172lbs....
no excuses when you rehydrate to a light heavy weight.
This^^^^^^^^^^
Weight is not going to beat Floyd,Power is not going to beat Floyd,Speed is not going to beat Floyd..It is going to take A REAL COMPLETE INTELLIGENT BOXER to beat Floyd..
I would love to see it just for some karmic justice when Floyd did it to JMM. However whatever Canelo weighs in at it won't change my opinion that Mayweather beats him.
Don't want any excuses from either side and this would be there best way to avoid that lol
the best way to avoid that would be for both fighters to weigh in at 154 an hour before the fight. It would be fair to both fighters. It would deny all of the Floyd haters the opportunity to see Floyd have to fight with a 20+ pound weight disadvantage.
Yes because that means Floyd never asked for one :lol1:
no it would mean there was a CW, Canelo said **** it, paid the penalty, and then got his ass whipped at 154.
It would be nice for Canelo to come in at 154. This way every single poster who whined about 152 and hypocricy would have to do a quick 180.

They wouldn't though. Everybody would still say Floyd was scared, a hypocrite, and a pu**y for agreeing to the CW from the gate, even if he wins. It's irrelevant.
At the end of the day, we all, as boxing fans, should be FIRED UP that a fight of this magnitude is actually happening. In today's boxing, money, promotion, networks, and politics (too many times) get in the way of allowing these megafights transpire... IT'S HAPPENING.
There's so many elements that could've gotten in the way, but they didn't. Both camps were more than willing to make it work. Whether or not who asked for what is irrelevant, neither fighter is complaining, each fighter believes he is going to win, and this is THE toughest, most anticipated fight of each of their careers.
We have the biggest of the decade less than two weeks away, and all people wanna do is draw up premature excuses and whine. I, for one, am fired up about this bout. If Mayweather wins, I think it will be huge for his legacy, especially if he does it in dominating fashion. I do not believe this minor CW will tarnish the significance of a win against an opponent like Canelo.
If Canelo wins, it will be one of the biggest rumbles in the sport of boxing that we've seen in recent memory. It will be a new king crowned in the sport. It would spark perhaps one of the most anticipated rematches, or even TRILOGIES of our generation.
I wouldn't mind if Canelo came in at 154. That way some of the bi#ching and moaning can stop. Either way, i think all true, whole-hearted, un-biased boxing fans appreciate the fact that this fight is happening regardless.
