What's in a pound or two......

[RlCKY]

if canelo didnt think he could win the fight at 152 i doubt he would of took the fight. ideally 154 was what he wanted but to sign a contract which says 152 suggests he is fine with it. would be funny if canelo pulled a mayweather and came in at 154 floyd would be pissed lol

I'm sure there are $1,000,000 per pound fines or something to stop that from happening.

Its a different senerio for everyone!!!! For example if Canelo makes 154 without alot of sacrifice and can rehydrate without packing on to much food and fluid to the point that his conditioning is jepardized its NOT a big deal!
When a fighter must completely dry out to make weight and doesn't rehydrate properly his conditioning can go out the window during the fight!!

So its a different circumstance for all, its knowing your body and your mind
and handling the situation so theres no compromise!!!! Ray.

it's nothing.... when your at 12% bodyfat....

it's everything when you're at 7%....

chad dawson dropping 7lbs to fight ward.... death....

canelo.... a young guy.... who's fought between 147-154 for the past five years....

who comes in at 12% bodyfat.... 2lbs.... is nothing.... 4lbs would have been nothing

People are forgetting that nelo is YOUNG! His body should recover faster then someone older!

2lbs is nothing when you first start training camp.

But, anybody who has tried to cut weight before, and theyve reached their lowest most successful weight ever... knows, that asking for ANOTHER 2lbs does in fact matter, and it's not "nothing".

very true; how much it affects canelo obv depends on how "tight" he is making 154. he came in under that limit for trout and is only 22 (cutting then rehydrating without detriment tends to be easier when your younger) so he might make 152 comfortably?

Yah and what's ur point? That was 2 years ago, he was almost a teenager back than. He's naturally gonna get heavier as he ages and its going to get harder and harder to make the Jr Middleweigh weigh ins

And again, he weighed in at 153.5 vs Trout..

Boom goes the dynamite............

when your an elite athlete and have already shave off the majority of all your unecessary weight day in and day out through the rigorous exercises of training camp and then you are still asked for two more pounds then yes I believe it makes a differece

People who say it's nothing has obviously never had to cut weight in their entire life

i "cut" weight on an off fighting at various weights when i was fighting , guess what? it didn't mean **** , because i was young!! if canelo is killing himself making weight now why the *** is he champion and keep defending his title? because i know he ain't that dumb to not speak up to his trainers , strength conditioner etc if they are the one's saying , considering he will be obviously the one who knows his body best.

and for you to say people haven't obviously had to cut weight is a ***in lame excuse , i still say 2lb ain't ****!
