This guy makes a lot a sense in this vid abt this catch weight issue ! Let me know if you guys agree or disagree!
I don't like it when a champion defends his title at a weight below the standard limit. I never have and I never will. As a champion I think he has an obligation to defend his title at the full weight limit of the weight class he is the champion of. If the champion defends his title at less than the full limit as a favor to a smaller fighter as Whitaker did when he defended his welterweight title against the 140 pound champion Chavez at a top weight of 145 I guess that is OK. Mayweather defending his 154 pound title against a full sized challenger like Canelo at 152 is wrong in my opinion. Is he the 154 pound champion of the world or the 152 pound champion of the world? Which is it? Leonard did the same thing to Hearns and Duran when he defended his 168 pound world title at a top weight of 164 pounds. The champion should not be allowed to change the weight limit of the weight class he is champion of.
No in actuality canelo should be the 170 pound champ lol because that's his natural weight so is that not wrong?

U are a fanboy period. U make things up there is no irony. Everyone whos ever read your posts knows u are a fanboy but whatever helps you pass the time,
Make stuff up LOL , boxing knowledge goes over your head like a missile , all you know is hype , anything on boxing mechanics and your lost , to the ignorant they must be making it all up LOL
You couldn't get a win in a whore house , on second thoughts your probably not allowed in for a few years yet , that poor lizard of yours must be near beat to death LOL .
After the fights not before them , just a crucial bit you idiots step over .
The irony you praising Mannys CWs and him refusing OST he now wants , and here you are LOL .
And no threads really abt manny wanting drug testing now go figure lol!

The titles is irrelevant to the fight , its about the guys themselves and the size relationships between them , all your trying to do is use titles like it makes the fight different , well then if that's the case you better get on Manny for forcing Cotto to 145 CW for the WT after he fought before and after Cotto at 147 , Im sure Cotto did not want 145 .
Same for Margo , Manny fought him for a 154 title at 150 , and he is bigger than Canelo .
You cant bag Floyd and praise Manny concerning CWS , it only shows what a fanboy one really is to do so , I don't think anybody likes to see CWs I know I don't , but the hate on this one is over the top .
LOL u dedicated your whole entire life to bashing Manny for his catch weights yet praise Floyd. U are the fanboy king
Floyd would have been the one asking for the CW , he may have used Canelo saying he would fight Floyd at 150 as a springboard , but Canelo would want the 154 limit if it were up to him .
But your right about Canelo having many things on his side and he is definitely much bigger than Floyd , this is not an old shop warn fighter Floyd is facing , but much bigger younger fast hungry unbeaten dual World Champion , Floyd shouldn't be bagged for this fight , you will not find a boxing connected guy not giving Floyd props for this fight , but in here this is fanboy city , real boxing talk is rare its all just hate , every thread no matter what any fighter does , all you got in here is factions hating on somebody .
Well put!
We know who's lying,,,,, its obviously floyd's team,,,
at 154 it wasnt happening,,,,,,
have you seen the video of when they ask floyd about the catchweight and he mumbles and stumbles and passes it off to ellerbe.. lmao,,,
but your a floyd hugger so it wont matter to you
Dude please are you apart of any of those camps? Do you have access to some info that everyone else don't? We all know how the media works and they can have you believing any thing they want! And the only reason I back up Floyd is because of haters like you that nick pick at everything Floyd says or does! So if I am a huger that makes you a pure hater right?
once you all come to the reality that floyd contradicted himself, as he has before and im sure he will again, and catchweights have been a part of boxing since around 1895, then you will all be able to live life with one less thing to worry about... its simple try it.... all for $9.99
I don't give a schit what some tuber says. Two guys that have belts at 154 should both be fighting at 154. If you can't fight at that weight, then you shouldn't have a belt there, now that's what logic is, that's why there are weight classes, smh at trying to justify catchweights.
Your missing the point here! Yes he is a hypocrite but look at all the advantages that canelo has youth, major size and power advantage! He is a middle weight fighting ww, i'd say the catch weight is justified and no one knows who put the catch weight on the table! Floyds camp says canelo, canelo camp says Floyd so we don't know who is lying here!

if its going to be an excuse, then why did floyd want a CW,,,
he did say he wants guys at their best weights, so there are no excuses, but then turns around and wants canelo at a CW

Floyd/Marquez was a catchweight fight. Floyd couldn't make the catchweight so he threw money at the problem.
And if Canelo has any trouble he will too !

He said he wants guys at their comfortable weight , that's a different context than your spin saying BEST , its these little twists on words that you guys use against Floyd all the time , and because Manny sits there like noddy while acting out the actions of a hypocrite but that's ok .
Your stuck on the hypocrisy and not seeing the fighters and not seeing the actual boxing point of view .
It cant be an excuse until after the fight
That's pretty much what ego was saying in the vid! Manny did catch weights over and over but doesn't get criticized for it! Floyd on the other hand gets crucified for doing it once lol!
Yes Floyd has fought there before but he was fighting guys close to his own age not a guy that's 13 or 14 years younger and much much bigger then he is!Floyd/Marquez was a catchweight fight. Floyd couldn't make the catchweight so he threw money at the problem.
Yes he is a hypocrite but my problem's not with that! my problem is those who are making this an excuse for canelo if he shall loose the fight! Lets be honest here that's exactly what it is!
