Bob Arum is the reason , Floyd has always been easy to get a big fight done it was only the Manny fight that he couldnt get and that was because Bob Arum didnt want his cash cow schooled .

You don't have to be at the limit for a title fight. Both fighters can be below it happens more often than we think. It's the label catch weight that gets people going. If Floyd came in at 147 and Saul came in at 153 would you complain that it wasn't at 154?

That's the thing. Your example above is exactly the way it should be.

Voluntarism - not being forced to come in below the official weight limit. Ideally, both guys would have the option of weighing in anywhere from 148lb to 154. That's 6 pounds to play around with, within the Jr. Middleweight division. Both guys could come in comfortable, with Floyd coming in lighter and Canelo coming in heavier, instead of this deceiving tactic to deplete a fighter on fight night.

i heard floyd said win or lose canelo will still be undefeated after the fight

Dude "152" is a meaningless weight clause in a contract, Canelo is going to come into the ring on fight night far heavier, get it?

No, no, you're not getting it. He has to sweat off those additional 2 pounds, which changes his routine during training. Physically, he hasn't been at 152 in how long?

This can also possibly effect your rehydration process, I.E. Delahoya Vs Pacquiao.

what can u say floyd is a genius

The guy is not a historian. He is covering up his wet-behind-the-ears boxing wisdom with old school profile pictures, as if he is a cigar smoking senior citizens, boxing fan from the 60's.

But he uses a big word a day, and talks in platitudes only. I though that + 2 bw photos = historian? Cigars are a good idea though, it's less edgy than the weed he was struggling so much with yesterday.

Right! Floyd will hand Alvarez his ass and take Alvarez's belts, but Alvarez will still be undefeated since they are fighting at a catchweight. Then, Alvarez and Cotto can fight for the Catchweight Loser's World Championship.

Wouldn't it be funnier if Canelo trains to fight at 154 and comes at 154, then Floyd refuses to fight him because he weighed in too big.

I say Ginger boy should do it! Defeating Floyd will only make you a Superstar on the level of Pacquiao. A world wide superstar. Something Floyd could only dream of.
