    Is it the catch weight or the hypocrisy?

    I know Canelo is bigger than Mayweather and I would actually be ok with it if it wasn't for what Floyd said in buildup to the Cotto fight and him taking a jab at Manny every chance he got.

    So is it the actual catchweight for you or the constant hypocrisy of Floyd?

    For me it's the Catchweight. Floyd and Ellerbe know damn well that a 2 pound catchweight drains a fighter. That's why they were so vocal about it in the past, before this fight was made.

    I'm sure you've seen all the Floyd and Ellerbe quotes regarding catchweights, right?

      I don't mind the catch weight really, just like I didn't mind the 145 for Pac-Cotto. If anything I think Cotto was closer to 145 than Canelo is to 154, but I don't think it'll affect either fighter physically.

      I do find it hilarious though, because of Floyd and the *****s.

        Money is a BIG, HUGE hypocrite...and?

        Nobody put a gun to Canelo head and told him to take the fight.

          No, they just waved a huge cheque at him instead.

            Floyd said 2lbs drained Cotto. Add the fact that they know that Canelo showed signs of that when he fought Trout .... check his severe stamina issues and low work-rate.

            Floyd fans only believe what Floyd says if it makes Floyd look good. So they will pretend that Floyd never said that.

                This is what we were trying to tell the Flowmos when they discredted Pacs wins over Oscar, Cotto and Margarito.

                nobody has an issue with the catchweight, the truth is before the Flowmos came on the scene nobody cared, the ones who were so vocally against catchweights but only expressed their anger at them when Pacquiao fought one are the Flowmos, they never expressed anger when Floyd fought the first one before Pacman when he fought JMM. It was only when Pacman beasted on Cotto they didn't want to give him credit for that because he beat a guy Floyd ducked at the time.

                The only way people will take Flowmos serious now is if they apologize and give Pacman credit or else Floyd gets no credit for a Canelo win.

                Do you think they will man up or play the they are both hypocrites card?

                  Money is a HYPOCRITE..even his biggest fans MUST admit it but I will give him FULL credit when he beats Canelo. The are fighting with the jww range which is from 148-154 lbs.

                  Money owes Pac-Man a apology big time.

                    What bothers me most is that you posted two threads for exactly the same thing.

                    And yes, I'm aware that I posted this in both threads, but I never said I wasn't a hypocrite.
