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

[Reloaded]

Is the day EVER going to come when people stop lying about Pacquiao-De La Hoya? They know they're lying, and they just keep doing it.

And Pac-Marquez 3 was at a 144 catchweight.

Odh was not a forced CW at 145 fight was 147 , he just happened to be that at weigh-in and needed IV fluids to gain 2 lbs in 30hrs , worst case of an elite fighter blowing the weight Ive ever seen , he was a dehydrated rag .

Signs were there in the Forbes fight where Oscar looked flat and got bruised up , Forbes would have beat him easy the night that Manny did .

Oscar had a bad case of ego thinking he after 13yrs away from 147 could make 147 and beat Manny , it backfired when he turned up a badly dehydrated waif .

This is somewhat of a relief. For NOW.

I second that! Beautifully said

I Second that. Hes far more a credible source. Canelos trainer just wanted attention. All press is good press though

Hope I'm wrong on this one and the fight does take place at 154. But I'm sure the Floyd naysayers will now start their Canelo is too inexperienced campaign pretty soon

I always said Floyd was not obligated to fight anyone at 54. He is only obligated to fight Pac, and the best at 47. But Richard is lying. At this point, I do think that Floyd isnt fighting him because of the weight issue.

If you can't believe Richard Schaefer who can you believe?

Ok, so maybe the fight is 154, but Canelo cant hydrate to 155lbs fight night.

I heard he has to make 154 for the weigh in and must be 147 on fight night.

Why would Richard lie , what does it matter that he needs to lie about , Richard is only saying he is negotiating a 154 fight between Canelo and Floyd .

I think all this its as much a case of a 5 fight contract and nowhere to go in his own division after a Canelo , and on a win he is being shoehorned into a weight class that over all is too big for him , Floyd is a small WW might be different if he were struggling to make 147 and blows up to 160 like any full sized WW in history does .

Floyd stuck his neck into 154 because they were not real 154s , they came from Floyds weights , he did it because he can and the opportunity is their to gain another belt , he was calling so he went to them , he dont belong there the same Manny dont or Jones didnt belong at HW ,

Fighters can play with weight in the matchmaking process , but in the real world a good big man will beat a good little man , fighters know this and thats where politics and CWs come into it to try and sell a fair fight , if a guy has to come down its not a fair fight , this at 147 is not fair to Canelo , 154 is not fair to Floyd , so where do you go from here .

I agree on everything you say. But my point was, that Richard is trying to protect Floyd. Floyd Sr already confirmed that he advised Floyd that Canelo is too big. And I dont think Canelo's trainer would make that up for nothing.
