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

[BuckToothed]

Mayweather 118-109 any weight.

Are you saying Canelo loses all rounds except for 1 where he knocks down Floyd?

[Chopper417]

As a Mayweather fan, if this is in fact true I will be the first to say it is complete nonsense. Canelo cannot safely make 147 and it would be ludacris for Mayweather to ask him to. Complete ******ry by the Mayweather camp. If they fight it has to be no lower than 154.

mighty ducks references are ok in my book. its funny i was jus thinkin how disappointed i was that the Anaheim Ducks lost to the red wings in the first round, and i was tellin my coworker, "the Mighty Ducks that beat team iceland woulda NEVER lost to the damn wings..." and then i saw that and jus burst out laughing lol

one, two, three, triple deke.

Oscar was planing on coming down to 147 but made Floyd fight at 154, Oscar took most of the PPV, Oscar came in the ring with 15 lbs heavier 170lbs, Oscar chose the Gloves, Oscar had all the advantages. Floyd is so brilliant he still beat him. Floyd second time at 154 was Cotto, who was no heavier than 160 lbs. Oscar made Floyd fight unfair because he was the cash-cow. Today Oscar Canelo need to have 15lbs weight advantage to have a chance? Where as Floyd just wants Skills to determine the victor

Hagler fought at a disadvatage when he fought SRL (widest ring possible) when he made the most he ever made.

Leonard already had 2 disadvantages going in, A) he was a natural Welterweight and this was his first Middleweight fight. The only other middleweight he fought was Marcos Geraldo when he was a Welterweight. B) he was the one coming off a long layoff.

Mayweather April 2012: “I feel that Miguel Cotto is an undefeated fighter,” . So if Canelo is foolish enough t drain down, does this mean if Floyd wins, he would think Canelo is still undefeated?

[alembic]

i respect Floyd greatly for his skills but the man simply does have not the heart of the great fighters before him. which is ok but don't go around saying you're the greatest ever. you don't deserve it.

Yes. I feel Floyd is the most gifted fighter of his generation in terms of skill. Untouchable. But he's so risk-averse; I think this will hurt his chances of being regarded UNIVERSALLY as an ATG.

all time greats: Robinson,Ali,Leonard,Duran, etc.
all time shame: Floyd Mayweather

[edwinteamDSG]

The only solution is a catch-weight at 151 since mayweather fought cotto at that weigh!! And since canelo cant make 147 healthy!

.

I would like to see it at 154 just so Floyd can shut people up but I get it. My question is, why doesn't canelo want to fight Floyd at Floyd's best weight? Nobody could say **** to canelo if he beat Floyd at 147. He would be the man. With no excuses.

You realize most brain damage In boxing comes from fighters weight draining themselves to make weight right? You lose fluid in your head, and being hit in the head while having less fluid is concerning to say the least
