    Floyd ducks but Canelo isn't?

    Floyd ducked many fighters, it's true but Canelo is doing the same thing! He's natural middleweight, he weighed 172 pounds against Trout... 172! Forget MW division, he should be fighting Ward for christ sake. I'm not Floyd's fan, never was and never will be but it's unfair for him to fight Super Middleweight. Floyd ducked Cotto, Manny, Margarito, PWill those are straight facts. But Canelo duckes GGG, Martinez, Ward, Kessler and others.

      Yeah I did know that. So now please tell me why the **** they fought at junior middleweight? They should fight at SMW, plain and simple. Just bring back same day weigh in that would clean all that mess

        I'm certain MWs enter the ring at around that weight, it's now fashionable to call Canelo a SMW for some odd reason, or ask that he face Ward.

        For anyone that's willing to answer, how much longer does anyone think Canelo will be able to make 154 healthy? Is it possible that his decent stamina at this point in time is due to having to make '54?

          because they can both cut weight down to 154.

          you act like this is something new.

            Yeah at the day of weigh in. The next day when they actually fight they're 17 pounds heavier

            It's not new for me, it's just unfair. Floyd weights what? 150? 151? And people accuse him of ducking Canelo who's 20 pounds heavier.... well let Canelo fight where he belongs which is MW division, I'm sure GGG will welcome him with open arms.

              Fight-night weights aren't even reliable. I hate this new obsession people have with them.

                I didn't hear anyone cry about what a fighter weighs on fight night until now that the heat is on Floyd to fight Canelo. Ortiz weighed 164 when he fought Floyd. Had a 13 pound weight advantage. I didnt hear anyone saying Ortiz should be challenging Middleweights. Smh

                  Come on, do you think they're putting on solid muscle overnight? It's water weight.

                    So now the Floyd fans are using Andre Ward as Floyd's savior now?? They did it with Martinez, now they're doing it with Canelo wow.

                    Now the argument is that Canelo who campaigns at 154 should go to 168, (2) weight classes above anywhere he's ever competed because a Floyd fan feels that the 2 time jr middleweight champ should be allowed to duck a real jr middleweight??
