Comments Thread For: Arum Rips Canelo-Lopez, Says MGM Management Upset

[kill the body]

Lopez is a junior welterweight, that's 140 for fans who seemingly don't know what weight classes are. he fought Ortiz at welterweight (147) but only weighed 144 on the night of the fight.

Lopez is going to struggle to make 154, he'll probably come into the fight below 154 and not gain any weight rehydrating. whereas Canelo will make the 154 weight limit and rehydrated to 170+.

so Lopez probably be outweight by more than 20lbs. which is dangerous for Lopez.

boxing has weight classes to protect the fighters. look at what Canelo did to flyweight Archie Solis. size matters but some fans seem totally ignorant when it comes to weight classes.

this fight is a joke and Arum is right (for once)

Manny weighed 144 for the bogus Margarito fight,explain that one.Arum has no room to talk

This will be a shameful exhibition of greed, not boxing skill.

Did he said that Vanes is not a good fight for Canelo? LOL he dont trust his own fighter. And the biggest fight of the year so far, Cotto-Mayweather, he needs to stop hating on that one.

you missed the point, weight classes protect the smaller fighter

it was clear Margarito was much larger than Pacquiao but he was weight drained. so it evened the field and Pacquiao picked up a BS title at 154.

with Canelo it's different because Canelo will be at full strength and Lopez has zero advantage. Pacquaio had a catchweight to protect him but Lopez has nothing. weight classes protect the smaller fighter.

Crocodile tears.

He's just using this opportunity to put a broadside into DLH and make some transparent attempt to gain credibility.

Just admit both are full of shit and lets move on,stop defending bogus shit moves,by bogus shit promoters who don't give a damn about boxing

I agree it's a crap fight, but really Bob? Didn't you move Pac up like that? wasn't he smaller few gave him a change vs Oscar or Cotto. Crap fight yes, but Bob needs to chill.

you cannot possibly compare an aging fighting once a year cash cow like Oscar vs a prime fighting a few times a year burdgeoning cash cow like Canelo

two totally different scenarios

Stfu u skeez u would have done the same **** if u owned both fighters,in fact u smut u have done us worse..go retire in Florida already and let boxing breathe

[BennyBlanco]

Lopez WEIGHED IN at 144. He was 154 the night of the Ortiz fight.

I GUARANTEE that there will be a bigger weight disparity in the Chavez-Martinez fight than in the Canelo-Lopez fight.

can't argue that. it's the truth
