    It means difference of individual perception.

    Two fighters at 154 perceive 2lbs to be of different severity.

    I hate people like you, constantly trying to prolong arguments even though you have thoroughly been proven wrong.

      I for one don't like catchweights. I don't think there should be any titles on the line but that's my opinion. Is Floyd ****** for staying what he's said in the past? Of course he is. But how smart was it for Canelo to be ok with doing to 150 just 6 months prior to the Floyd-Cotto fight them stating he'd only fight at 154? **** good both ways, IMO
      I'm talking about both baby. Floyd is widely considered the pfp king, decades best and greatest active fighter. So why would the decades best, pfp king and greatest active fighter need a catchweight to fight Canelo. When he was talking shots at Pacman for the same $h!t?? And add to that the fact he fought Cotto at the full 154lb limit slightly over a year ago.

        Man I really hope this happens!

As anyone worth their salt knows, dehydration followed by a blow to the head can cause the type of brain damage that this poor, deluded soul is obviously afflicted with.

          1) is dehyrdated and can't perform
          2) other is absolutely fine

          Impossible to tell until it actually occurs.

            The fact that's not the context in which you used it aside, you can argue about the definition of the word "relative" all you like, doesn't make your original point any less incorrect. You most definitely can NOT "shit 2 pounds" the day before a fight when you're at your fighting weight already.

              Yeh i studied that at university.

              Two states at the same time, but unfortunately for Canelo he doesn't follow the laws of quantum physics

                Trust me,I agree. I defended him with my friends in the past so I gotta call a spade a spade on this one. If this wasn't for the titles I'd be a little more cool with it but that ain't the case.

                I love this fight, but hate the 152 lb aspect of it

                  I honestly don't care.

                  No point even talking to you.

                    You haven't made a single valid argument, so I agree, no point at all. If this were a battle of wits, you'd need a catch weight just to be even remotely competitive. Even then, it still wouldn't be anywhere near close.
