Comments Thread For: Floyd Sr. Confirms: Mayweather-Canelo Must Be at 147!

[Cinci Champ]

let me ask this if floyd agreed to fight at 151 or so and put a limit on what canelo could weigh on fight night would you guys cut him any slack i dont think u would

[Sugar Q]

Weight DRAINING is still WEIGHT DRIANING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Floyd said "I DONT WEIGHT DRAIN A GUY!!!!!"!

Bottom line I would love to see the fight because Floyd would easily win and sorry but Floyd doesn't need Canelo.

[Realizniguhnit]

Truth be told, the problem is Floyd Jr and Canelo are separated by almost two weight classes but I do think Floyd is kind of taking it a bit far. If he truly does want to consider fighting Canelo then it would be more optimal to suggest a same day weigh in or a catch weight of 152 pounds w rehydration clause..Canelo obviously can't make 147.. Whats funny is that Broner has been looking like he could test the water at 154 lately so If we don't get a Canelo- Mayweather we may get a Broner-Canelo showdown in the future, broner is dumb enough to take that fight at 154....

well in canelos case he already has to drop an entire class just to fight at 154 thats what i find funny about all this. people want to see floyd lose so bad it blinds them and they think a 25 pound weight difference aint no big deal

Asking a fighter to give up 20 lbs in the ring is a pretty ridiculous request, and the desperation to see Floyd lose is at an all time high since the last 6 months...but the bottom line to me is, if you're going around calling yourself champion at 154 and retaining the belt...how are you gonna go and refuse to fight at 154?

Floyd fans "Canelo is easy money". And Canelo dropping weight is what Cotto, Canelo, and ALL 154 pounders do to make weight. Again Floyds words "I DONT DRAIN FIGHTERS, I WANT THEM AT THEIR COMFORTABLE WEIGHT". What part about that DONT you get????????????

[Rysandro]

Why is every hater talking crap about Floyd jr? He did not say anything HIS DAD DID. Floyd wants to fight fighters at their weigh & it was a bit of a mistake to do it twice and he did not care he did it, his dad & all of us know he did not look great 154lb so his dad now head coach wont let his son do that mistake again and can we blame him? Canelo wont get the credit if he beats Floyd because we all know Floyd dont belong at 154lbs. Don't say Cotto was at 154ld and use that because we all know Cotto don't belong at that weight but for him not wanting to go the extra mile, he fights there and is more comfterble doing it then cutting extra 7lbs. But come on don't say Floyd is this and that because he ain't the one speaking or making desicions yet,

Btw I am at work typing fast on my phone so sorry for the misspell and stuff....

Vacate the belt

I say 150 with a clause or better yet a fight day weigh in.

"I think Miguel Cotto is a hell of a fighter, a strong solid 154-pounder. Pacquiao was trying to fight him at 147. I would never want to put a fighter in a position where he's not comfortable. I want a guy when he's at his best. If he's at his best at 154 and he's strong and he's solid, then that's the fight we're fighting at. I walk around at 150, but at the end of the day - skills pay the bills.

De La Hoya - Pacquiao fights him at a catch-weight. Cotto - he fights him at a catchweight. When I fought De La Hoya, I said 'give him to me at 154.' With Cotto - 'give him to me at 154.' Give me the guys where they are comfortable at their weight so there are no excuses."

This quote says it all. All I hear now from team Mayweather is quack, quack.....

Apparently he needs Canelo or he would not have even demanded Canelo to lose weight. Apparently its not only about "Skills pay the bills" and "size don't matter".

Shame

Such a shame. If they are to get it on, surely for the point of legacy (if that matters) it has to be 154. If he want's to fight a Mexican at 147 there is plenty of them.

Hell, why not beat on Pacquiao 50 million years too late? I'd rather watch that than Canelo at welterweight.
