Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather-Canelo Alvarez: Superfight Ready To Go

[Starz20]

Canelo can take two dumps, one at breakfast, one at lunch, to shed those 2lbs to make weight, then he shows up on fight night at his natural rehydrated weight and train wrecks Floyd Mayweather..... Period.

So your saying Canelo is a natural 170 pounder right> Shouldn't he be fighting around that weight then??

Dude is still gonna get his ass whooped but you even agree he is too big for 154

LOL Its funny that this whole catch weight thing will be the focus of many many arguments that will go on for ever, even past the fight when Mayweather wins. Its only two pounds Canelo has to come down. He can do it without any problems. Having him come down to 147 was a problem. Canelo is naturally a little bigger than Floyd, so this evens it out a little bit. Being for a fight between them, its fine. Being for the lineal title, it does suck. My attitude is **** it. At least the fight is happening and we will all be excited to see it when it happens.

Agree great post!

I agree mate, the fact that the fight is actually happening and in September. There's some spoiled shits around here.

A 170 lbs Canelo will go for a KO...
As he fights in spurts, he has no other choice against Floyd.

The young Mexican has a really good shot here. Mayweather is getting old by boxing standards and canelo is coming into his prime. The weight is against mayweather, it would've been ultra ballsy if he had taken him on at 154 lbs. This is a great choice, mayweather certainly isn't ducking anyone by making this fight.

Decreeing this fight for the lineal title just kind of feels like it's all based on beating the guy who beat the guy who beat Yuri Foreman.

NSB is going to be fun before and after this fight.

Glad it's happening. HUGE fight.

You just completely forgot to mention that Floyd talked so much crap about PacMan when he made Cotto come down from 147 to 145. Yet, now that Floyd does it, it's ok? Come on, get outta here with that BS. Floyd himself said, "weight doesn't win fights, skills do." Why make it a catchweight fight then? Dude, he fought Cotto and ODLH at 154 lbs. Why not Canelo? He could've easily put in a re-hydration clause and nobody would have said *****.

Floyd has a reputation for cherry picking and dodging top competition or putting them at a disadvantage and this just further perpetuates that - any way you cut it.

lol whatever makes you feel better funny how the word duck has left all the haters mouths in the last few hours

Yeah, it's bull****. Cotto was never the man, and neither Mayweather or Alvarez are the man now.
