Has this ever Happened Before?

[ADP02]

I love how people are talking like floyds two trips to 154 werent 5 years apart....like he campaigns there or something. he's a 147 fighter who dipped his head to 154 for two of the biggest fights in ppv history that he couldnt even make weight for. Just fought at 147 AGAIN And now he's going up again against a champ over a decade younger and 15-20 lbs heavier and people are crying foul because of 1lb? stop it.

and im saying this as someone who doesnt like cw fights for titles.

All honesty he shouldve been stripped of the 154 title for not defending it in over a year. So we wouldnt have to hear this bs

Floyd has been at 147+ since 2005 and he CURRENTLY holds a belt. Just remember when you Floyd fans said "Cotto is legit, won 3 in a row and holds a title at 154 AND Floyd is letting Cotto fight at a comfortable weight UNLIKE what Manny did".

Funny how you first bring up all them excuses then you say "I don't like CW so to excuse your excuses"

Besides it being that there are 4 titles on the line, we have Floyd and his fans criticizing this for years .... BUT now because Floyd does it, "Stop crying"???


By the way, being younger in this case may not be a good thing because Canelo lacks the experience and the one thing that you would expect from a young fighter, it just happens to be Canelo's weakness ..... that is, his low work-rate and stamina issues.

Oscar was a big guy and he has weighted the limit of 160 in some fights,Floyd has a belt from 154 but when has he came in on weight-ins even close to 154? Lol ya floyd haters are starting to sound gay foreal

So why is 154 a problem now when it wasn't against DLH and Cotto?

[The Tase]

that's all that really needs to be said.

disgraceful act by floyd.

This is the textbook definition of splitting hairs and hypocrisy. You are saying that, because Oscar only had one fight at 160, it is okay for him to demand that Hopkins fight him at a two pound catchweight. However, since Mayweather has had two fights at 154 -- even though they were five years apart -- it is not okay for him to fight a fellow champin at a catchweight.

You are also saying tht it would it be okay to fight Alvarez at a catchweigt if Mayweather had gotten a gift decision against Oscar or Cotto? And it would be okay if Mayweather had only one fight at 154 instead of two. Would it also be okay if Alvarez has spent five years in prison like Hopkins did? Or would it also be okay if Alvarez had KO'd Cotto (Mayweather's toughest opponent) the way Hopkins KO'd Oscar's toughest opponent, Felix Trinidad?


The fact is the TS has been owned and you haters are willing to throw out any ridiculous excuse to justify your hatred.

It's not ok. DLH's MW run was a joke, it's pitiful when you have to sc**** the barrel like that to defend this #1 rated 2x champ at 154

[abdiel2k3]

A 2x division champ asking another champ in the same division to fight below their division that they are champion in?

How can floyd, a 2x world champion at 154lbs ask a fellow 154lb champion to fight at 152lbs?

Has this ever happened before?

yup hes rewriting boxing history in our face
setting a precedent to make the fight that everyone wants to see
like most already mentioned
hes been goin up n down in weight
154 is a stretch for him but he did
most doubted him but he did it
he doesnt have to do it
plus everyone needs to get real
2lbs at these wieghts aint ****
plus think its been pretty established by both sides it was an offer made by team canelo
dont like it
dont watch it
im sure mayweather will b crushed to know u whinners wont stream or dl his fight

It is impressive, but not that special. for example, a JMM is willing to fight top welters in his 5th weight class with no weight restriction, and he's older, slower, less preserved, and less gifted. You'd hope for a little more from Floyd, not a little less.

His request might be special OTOH. As in historical, like the TS said

Sounds more like these guys. You should tweet them and teach them a lesson about boxing:

Floyd: "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."

"He was a dead man walking when he went into the ring," Ellerbe said. "The casual fan doesn't know what difference one or two pounds can make when a fighter is already down to weight. Fighters know."

Not close enough huh? Only if Margarito was champion would it be the exact same thing.

no that's not the same thing at all.

that's all that really needs to be said.

disgraceful act by floyd.

that video says it all.
