Comments Thread For: Photos/Weights: Saul Alvarez Overweight, Hatton on Point

He should but I don't think he will. It's his opportunity after all and he might not get another, as unprofessional as it is for Alvarez to do this. Especially with hints that he wouldn't make weight. But I still want to see this, money will make Hatton fight and if he's weight drained, then Hatton's chances increase!!

Hatton should hold up the fight and give him all the time he needs to make the weight if that is a possibility just for that reason.

Agree with you on this one.

i'm not happy about this..But i still wanna see the fight.

Would you not rather wait let him fight a legitimate contender and see Canelo actually win over fans instead of losing them.

Ricky was right for once! I was on ricky's back yesterday for suggesting Canelo might come in overweight and pay the fine, I hope fight pulls out.

Asking for the WBC to not put the belt up would be asking them to conduct themselves by some sort of principle, but that simply isn't the case... they've already went about this 154 lb. title in a dishonorable manner.

Then again, I think the WBC is in the clear at this point. They can simply argue that it's a 154 pound title, so the fighters are still under that weight. (The 150 lb. limit is a contract weight...)

I'm being told Matthew Hatton is fine with fight proceeding despite Canelo's weight, but that Ricky Hatton "being stubborn

[onechance87]

so i'm guessing he didnt make weight bigpapa?

Unbelievable. Weigh in 151.8 for a 154 lb. title fight, and you have to go back and gut yourself of another 1.8 pounds. Fuck you Manny Pacquiao.

On another note, War Broner.
