Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Mayweather Insecure, Catchweight Won't Help

[Reloaded]

Oscar is doing his job why all the reaction , nothing new same old same old .

A nutritionist will help, but he needs to get an endurance trainer. If he gasses out by round 6 or 7, he's done.

[richardt]

But he did make him come down to 147, right?

No, they both agreed upfront....there was never a demand or insistence because Oscar felt he could make the weight easily....he never had any issue with 147 as the place where he would meet a fighter coming up 2 weight divisions.

man u pac fans must know deep down that pac was a catch weight king because making canelo come down 2 pounds because mayweather wont weigh more 151 is not even close to the same

What part about Mayweather saying "I don't do Catchweights, I am not that kind of guy, as far as I'm concerned, Cotto is still unbeaten, I want guys at their natural weight" DONT YOU UNDERSTAND??????????

Welcome to Earth where hypocrisy is alive and well. At the end of the day, who cares?

Go back to outer space because Hypocrisy is what makes people look like fools and Floyd did that and took his fans on the SHT in the face ride with him.

Have to keep it all the way 100 here and I think the Cotto fight made Floyd realize that 154 is a lil too much to handle weight wise. He is just not big enough for the weight class.

Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya believes Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26KOs) is feeling a sense of insecurity with the upcoming fight against WBC/WBA junior middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-0-1, 30KOs).

The fight takes place at a catch-weight of 152-pounds. Mayweather had previously fought at the full junior middleweight limit of 154 on two occasions, against De La Hoya in 2007 and last year against Miguel Cotto. Both fights were tough outings for the pound-for-pound king, with Mayweather winning both by way of twelve round decision.

Promote much?

[richardt]

I thought Canelo asked for the catchweight and Floyd accepted?

No, Canelo mentioned it almost 2 years ago. At the start of the negotiations Canelo made it clear he wanted the fight at 154 when Floyd demanded he come in lower than 152 and finally settled on 152. Floyd would not let the fight happen at 154.

Sounds like a ploy by Mayweather to create more hype for the fight.

I agree with you I've been sayin this for a long time Floyd isn't a big guy his best right now is at 147 he definitely can't go any lower and the 154 class is just too big for him man everyone is just so obsessed with this guy it's like they want to see him get beat but I don't think Canelo is going to be able to anything with Floyd he's strong and all but Floyd ain't going to stand in the line of fire he'll out ox him easily.
