Comments Thread For: Schaefer Calls Bull**** on Mayweather-Canelo Weight Issue

Not defending his record but if Floyd has held the 154lb twice now why not fight at 154 again for big money and fight a lot of fans want to see...right now I don't see a good 147 fight...so yea if you've been champ at that weight before or currently a champ at that weight then yea why not do the fight that makes sense.

Now we talking. Far as money sense, that's the biggest fight right now that I see. But trying to make him go up in weight is up to Floyd. He's in the driver seat not Alvarez. I believe Floyd was at 151 against Cotto. At weight-in are on fight night he can't make 154. Alvarez came in at 171. Yep, money wise but Alvarez will have all advantages. I don't see any 147 fights being competitive lets keep it real. On the flip side, it is competition at 154 for Alvarez. Just saying.

ya i think if its fought at 147 it gives people a reason to discredit the victory. i could deal with 151-152 as well tho

Give People, you mean give Floyd a reason to discredit himself!!!! If Floyd beats Canelo at ANYTHING below 154, he should do the right thing and say that he did not beat Canelo and that Canelo is still unbeaten!! Because that is EXACTLY what he said Cotto was after Cotto fought Pac. He said since Pac made him drain down, he considers Cotto still unbeaten. So if Floyd beats Canelo at anything under 154, he better be willing to say Canelo is still unbeaten and that he did not not really win the fight!!! You don't have to worry about people discrediting Floyd, he does a damn good job of it himself!!! You just better pray he fights Canelo at 154.

If Floyd fights Canelo at anything below 154, Canelo will remain unbeaten in Floyd's eyes!!!! Floyds own words in this article: Throughout the Cotto promotion, Mayweather has been relatively quiet by not digging into Cotto’s character but choosing to praise him instead. “I feel that Miguel Cotto is an undefeated fighter,” Mayweather said during HBO’s face off, ignoring Cotto's loss to Manny Pacquiao because of the lower weight.

I'll make it simple. Floyd: "Pac made Cotto come in at a lower weight so I think Cotto is unbeaten". Floyd after the Canelo fight if fought at a lower weight will say: "I beat Canelo, fair and square, he made the weight, he made the weight, he made the weight, I'm the greatest of all time".
