I don't like the catchweight, but I'm glad the fight is happening.

Then you should criticize Canelo for not fighting at 147. After all, he called out Floyd.

This us Floyd's biggest challenge in a long time. I am glad they worked it out.

This is definitely is an intriguing matchup will the 2 pounds make a difference ? probably not can money may make it 45-0 probably so, what will be the difference in this fight will money may unleash his repertoire and use his experience or will the young lion dethrone the king

Like you all said before regarding Cotto and Pac. If the other fighter agrees, so be it. If Canelo agreed, wtf are YOU talking about? Both stand to make millions, and 2 lbs won't affect Canelo. Floyd is a small ww, and Canelo is not a mw. This makes sense. The anti Floyd brigade is pissed, and I f#cking love it, lmmfao!

I agree that Canelo agreed to fight at 152 and if it is a problem for him it would be entirely his fault. However, I do believe that Canelo might be affected by those 2 pounds.

If you know about boxing you'll know that some guys kill themselves to shed less than a pound for some fights. So, if Canelo has to starve himself for those mere pounds it could possibly make him weak.

But, like you said, he agreed to those terms and he has to live with that decision.

Glad the fight is happening, but what a load of crap. Catchweight crap is unjustifiable, I hope Canelo ignores the catchweight altogether and comes to the weight in at 154.

and jeopardize his purse?if he does that then he's a idiot just like you are for mentioning this.

Just LIKE I SAID!!!! Now where are all the fools who said Mayweather didn't demand Canelo drop down??!!!!! PROOF! Same crap he condemned Pac for!!!!!!! Floyd just blew SHT all over the faces of the fans who condemned Pac for doing what Floyd is doing right now!!!

Very excited about this fight, the right fight at the right time to be made. As for the catchweight, very lame move by Floyd. So vocal during the Cotto fight about that and now he does the exact same thing! I doubt Canelo will be drained since he is ok with it, but Money is def trying to have an advantage...

[Digital Hu$tler]

People complaining about the catchweight be happy you get the fight Floyd should have made him come down to 150!

Floyd in May of last year
"I look at Miguel Cotto as an undefeated fighter because he faced Pacquiao, but Pacquiao caught him at a catch weight. He wasn't the best Miguel Cotto. He was drained. He wasn't hydrated"

So if my boy Canelo loses can I still say he is undefeated?

Didn't you just say that Floyd was too scared to even take this fight? Now you're already making up excuses? Not even 24 hours in. This fight should be at 154, but hey, it is what it is. Y'all gave Pacquaio catch weight passes. Y'all gave Ward catchweight passes. Y'all gave Cotto catchweight passes among other fighter that you all love, but when Floyd does it, it's a problem? I don't like catchweights period but damn, he's doing the same thing these other fighters are doing.
