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

[bigsmoothh]

151 vs 172. All of you must work for Bob Arum. Why doesn't Canelo fight ward, Triple gig, Dawson, Quillen, Chavez, Sergio and a host of other 160 to 172 pound fighters. The champ calls the shots, just like Oscar did. I'm amazed that details of how Oscar controlled everything never are spoken about, but Mayweathers @#$% is headline news.

why didnt floyd fought trinidad, wright, margarito,tzyu,forrest,cotto, judah, in their primes?

[Vasyl’s dad]

You do know Baldomir at the time that he fought him was ranked higher than Margarito right!?!?! And you do know Floyd was in negotiations to fight Cotto in 06' But Bob couldn't come up with the doe to make that fight happen (which is one of the main reason Floyd left top rank) right!?!?! Know the facts before you post!!!!

Yes, we all know Baldomir had the fight of his life against the highly overrated Judah. And we also know that the Baldomir/Judah fight was supposed to be a gimme fight. But lets keep pretending that you were actually watching boxing back then to know that.

Riddle me this, during that time frame, who was the welterweight divisions longest reigning belt holder?

It makes the fighter safer, but they dont gain the equivalent of the weight in strength, speed or power. That takes longer. On another note, can you imagine how drained a 147 Canelo would be? The fight would be completely pointless.

There is a big difference between a fighter rehydrating at their "best" weight than dehydrating down to a weight class they haven't been.

Canelo rehydrating at 154 to 170+ is fine for him, hes done it before.

Canelo rehydrating from 147? No thanks. He'll be training mainly to lose weight and it's a farce since lvarez hasn;t done a thing at 147

You suck.

If you can't respect a guy who is an 8 time champion, who has fought in 5 weight classes, beat 19 world champions in his career, going to the HOF when he retires, and became the biggest draw in Boxing history.........

drum roll please,,,,,,,,,,,,then you are a hater

Knew the old true colours would come out sooner rather than later...'but I'm being sarcastic bro!'

So Mayweather wants the fight at 147, so make it happen. Canelo is 14 years younger than Mayweather, he can make the weight. Mayweather has not been near his best at 154. He lost more rounds in the two fights at that weight than he has lost in his entire run at 147 combined. De La Hoya, Margaritto, and Cotto all came down to fight Manny. No fighter has ever came down to fight Floyd. If Canelo wants the fight he will agree to the terms. The damn guy is fight at Super welterweight, but on fight night he's at light heavy.

He's also got a 147 title. What about that. And he calls the shots, if you want the money. You want it to be one way, but its the other way. (Marlo, The Wire)

Stop being a bumsniff and stop crying. I am inviting you to be a boxing fan, not a floyd fluffer and condemn this bishassedness... Will you do it, or will you continue to cling on to floyds hairy brain?

I'm simply asking you a question that you don't want to answer because you don't want to admit that i'm right.

[DeadLikeMe]

Looks like Floyd is going the Pacquiao route with this...147 is complete bull****. Catchweight is not as bad but still not ideal. 154 would be ideal. I really know nothing about rehydration clauses since they are so uncommon so I don't have any take on that yet.

And you can actually say that with no sense of shame or embarrasment. Wow!

Seems to me like Reynoso wants everything in his favor... I guess he's been duped into believing that Canelo is the cash cow. I don't even care to see a super middwt/ lght hvywt fight a natural welter who could make 35/40 if he actually gave a damn.
