Canelos fight night weights

[FaustoGeraci]

Ok, so if you can't confirm what a fighters fight night weight is because that guy refuses to let it be known, you shouldn't say what hes peaking at. Because realistically, the guy is in his mid 30s. Hes going to pack on more weight. His ticket is, he wants to be known as this little tiny guy. If he didn't, he would just step on the scale like everyone else.

To be fair Floyd is a small WW, he weighs around 147 weeks before the official weigh in. When someone does that, they are not cutting a lot of water weight and are not going to put on much weight between the weigh-in and day of the fight. But that also gives Floyd a huge edge in stamina.

Love how Floyd apologists make Canelo out to be some mythical monster at 154.
He's a big kid, he will have to move up to 160 in the next few years, but he is not some beast at 154.
Floyd looked just as big as ginger when he fought Cotto. I am sure Floyd doesn't walk in the ring as big as Canelo but its not some insane difference. Its just an excuse if Floyd ducks Canelo, which right now I think he will.
I will eat crow if Floyd takes the fight though....

it seems more like the floyd haters TRY to make it out (unsuccessfully) to make it out that floyd fans make out canelo to be this mythical monster, so that the haters can make it out to seem like the fans are making excuses for making it out to seem like canelo is this mythical monster. did you follow that?

anyway canelo is 154 and floyd is a 154 champ so if they fight, it should be at 154 and there is no weight excuse or any other excuse that is necessary, period.

and i hear bbq sauce goes great with crow, so have that on hand within a year or so...

No, hes not. Hes a regular sized welterweight. Not overly big and not overly small.

Floyd will take the fight, but it is a 20 lbs. difference. That is a big difference. But when you're the best in the world, you take the fight anyway. And like I stated, Canelo sacrifices stamina by cutting that much water weight. So the fight needs to happen, period. There is no doubt Canelo beats the **** out of Pacquiao at 154, Canelo-Floyd is THE fight in boxing.

Sorry, that is wrong. Regular sized guys at a weight class do not weigh their fight weight weeks out from a fight. Regular sized guys do not only put on a few lbs. tops from the weigh in to the fight. Floyd is a 140 lbs. guy. He cuts literally nothing to make WW. He weighs around 150 over 30 days out from a fight. He is small for the weight class. Regular sized guys put on 10 lbs. between the weigh in and the fight, and big guys put on 15-20 lbs or more.

Floyd is the Ring Magazine and WBC Champion at 147. He can stay at that weight and say screw the WBA 154 belt if he wants.

Also, I said he comes to the ring AROUND 152. Not an exact weight...I doubt that he comes to the ring in-shape much higher than that...

He's exceptionally disciplined with his weight maintenance. that is why he stays so low walking around.

So you're saying Devon Alexander is bigger than Floyd? He just came into the ring at 160. And just because Floyd says he's 152 isn't enough for anyone to believe. The guy is a known liar. Floyd is more than likely entering the ring on fight night at 160 himself.

See? Posts like this are just idiotic. Have you ever fought before? Do you understand the concept of cutting weight? Clearly Devon Alexander is 10 lbs. bigger than Floyd, he cut 13 lbs. of water to make weight, and put it back on after rehydrating before tonight. You are saying Floyd is a liar, so he weighs 150 lbs. 3 weeks out from a fight, and dehydrated himself the whole time, risking life, death, heart failure, just to perpetrate some elaborate lie that he is a small WW? Hahaha. Come on. You are talking like a Canelo groupie now. Floyds cuts NO WATER WEIGHT. So between the weigh-in and the fight, when he drinks water, eats two meals, he is not putting on TEN POUNDS. That is just asinine. The man eats garbage fast food during training camp and still maintains his weight. He walks around at 150. Just stop.

Like I said, the fight needs to be made, because for every advantage Canelo has, Floyd has as well. Stamina, speed, experience, etc. But stop bashing a guy and coming off as a hater, it makes you look weak.
