Comments Thread For: Canelo's Trainer: Mayweather Wants a Lower Weight

[davidkidd]

Go look at who the champs are at 154 and them come back and edit your message when you see the list! Floyd would not be GOING anywhere. He fights in two divisions and fought Cotto there and he is a 154 pound champ!!

Cotto at his heaviest is 160 on fight night Floyd weighed in at 151 n on fight night weighed 147. Canelo weighs close to 180 pounds on fight night. If I were Floyd I'd make him agree to not coming over 160 for fight night or tell him to fight people his size. People were giving Chavez Jr grief for his weight in fights. Floyd has 154lb title but honestly he's not a 154lb fighter the two times he's visited that weight class he fought other former welterweights. If Canelo is so adamant than he should fight Mayweather on his terms. Mayweather allowed de la Hoya to call the shots before he dethroned him. what has Canelo done to be in position to call any shots?

So Floyd feels Canelo is comfy at 147? What a joke!!!! Shame on Mayweather

Hey, puppet... Why don't you and the rest of your little gang just wait until the statements come from a reliable source? Or do you believe everything you read and hear without researching or source criticism?

I dont listen to tail of the tape, and boxrec. Ghost is OBVIOUSLY around 6 foot tall. Not even a question.

I met Guerrero in person. I'm 5 9. He was at least two inches shorter.

Floyd is a WW....too damn small for someone who comes to the ring rocking 170 plus pounds...but Floyd been pimp slapping the **** outta some of the sports biggest names and created a hate base that will NEVER give him the benefit of doubt....the Detroit Pistons from back in the day were known as the Bad Boys and whenever they played against MJ they had something called "The Jordan Rules"....in boxing today we have "The Mayweather Rules" and that hate base Floyd created aint nothing but cheap shot artist...a bunch of Laimbeers!!

if you had 2 extra tickets to a ATG dinner party and Oscar, Cotto, and Nelo were stuck outside without tickets....who would you give those tickets to?....Cotto and Oscar of course.....they're worthy dudes who took on damn every cat in the lion's den....I said this **** yesterday, just because Oscar and Cotto got Floyd to go up to 154, doesn't mean Nelo can....like who the **** is Nelo compared to Oscar and Cotto?....duh!!

Ward and Hopkins are looking for some $$$$$$ fights....Nelo should give them a call....and please stop being so corny and calling Floyd a 154 pound champ...he just defended a WW title...like get real!!

and prior to that, he won a jr middle weight title. Try again.

mayweather fans, would yall actually rather see floyd fight amir khan or devon alexander? does him staying undefeated really mean that much to you? why are yall scared of floyd taking a tough fight? this is a serious question. i don't get it. he would win this fight.

[richardt]

You said Floyd would have to go to 154, I said no he wouldn't because he has fought for 2 titles in the 154 pound class. As to the stipulation about Canelo not coming into the ring over a certain weight, I agree with that>>>>>

Cotto at his heaviest is 160 on fight night Floyd weighed in at 151 n on fight night weighed 147. Canelo weighs close to 180 pounds on fight night. If I were Floyd I'd make him agree to not coming over 160 for fight night or tell him to fight people his size. People were giving Chavez Jr grief for his weight in fights.

Not at all. I can speak proper English.

Well, congratulations! You have miraculously regained your command over the English language. I'm impressed. I wouldn't have guessed it a few posts ago. LMAO!!

Yea, hes nowhere near 6 foot. I "met" him at Ontario Mills Mall with his family. They were walking around the corner of the mall, I noticed him, went up to him and said, "hey, you're Robert Guerrero, I appreciate your work in the ring", shook his hand and bounced. Dude is not big at all. So for you, to say "hes huge" to someone who actually stood toe to toe with the man, is completely absurd.

I could be wrong but when Floyd fought Oscar in 2007 I believe Oscar called all the shots! The weight 154, glove size, ring size, everything. Oscar was the man and the cash cow so Floyd had to respect that if he wanted to fight him.

Now Canelo and his team want Floyd they should respect that he is the cash cow and will call the shots. When Canelo just fought Trout, Canelo made sure that he had a rematch if he loss and it was in Texas, but Trout did not get that same agreement in his contract why? Because Canelo was the main draw!

It happens all the time Pac made Marquez and Bradley and now Rios come up to welterweight to fight him because Pac is the main draw it happens all the time. Dawson came down from 175 to 168 to face Ward because Ward is the man. If Floyd doesn't want to fight a guy who just weighed roughly 172 his last fight than he doesn't have to.

At the end of the day that is the only advantage Canelo has over Floyd is size, if that gets taking away Canelo would get beat a lot worse than what Robert did. He is a patient fighter who takes a lot of breaks and seemed to have some stamina issues his last fight.

172 is 3 pounds away from light heavyweight... He could fight Chad Dawson and not really be outweighed that much on fight night.

Facts and simple logic (even for the simpletons on this board), are not allowed here on Boxingscene.

No, not quite.

The guy you responded to with praise has a blind spot in his "logic". Could those "stamina issues" have something to do with cutting down to 154? I don't know.

And how would that "weight advantage" get taken away and the fight being fought on a level playing field if Canelo has to go down even further in weight and have even more stamina issues? At that point, Floyd would have a bigger advantage than Canelo would've ever had if they fought at 154. At least Floyd gets to walk in at a healthy weight if they're fighting at the 154 limit, Canelo doesn't.

Floyd fighting Canelo at 154 means that he is facing a bigger guy, YES. But that doesn't prevent Floyd from being at his best; only that he might get roughed up by a bigger guy. He has Super-Middleweight sparring partners for that. Canelo fighting Floyd at 147 on the other hand means debilitating Alvarez before he ever gets hit by Floyd.
