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

[richardt]

Psychologically, 152 helps Floyd tremendously.

Helps him look like a hypocrite for doing the same thing he and his rabid fans barked at Pac for doing.

[richardt]

There a big difference in what Floyd is doing. Two pounds isn't anything like Pacquaio making fighters come down from 154 to 147

Try that again!!!!! WHO did he make come down from 154 to 147?????

[TyrantT316]

As far as I am concerned, it's an even round. Mayweather of course would like Canelo to concede to a 147. Canelo says no to 147 and wants 154. They both went for 152. Mayweather got Cenelo to give for his own psychological satisfaction that Canelo has to work a little harder. Canelo got Mayweather to concede to a higher weight than 147.

As far as the jab is concerned? Well Tyson said "everyone has a plan until they get hit"

How about "everybody has a jab until it's not landing and countered over"....DLH knows that all to well vs little Floyd

That's a brilliant catch. I would have seen it myself but I have this idiot on ignore. These guys are ****ing hilarious, I might just unblock them while this catchweight stuff is going down.

I'm guessing he's gonna say Oscar - cos, you know, Pac forced Fishnets to come down. It wasn't the case that Pac was forced to move up essentially 3 weight classes (only 1 stop at LW) and it was at 147 because Oscar was trying desperately to save face on such a blatant cherrypick. Oh no, that definitely didn't happen.

If u want to see how garbage these mo****ers are, see how they've turned Pac getting cherrypicked for that fight into Pac somehow exploiting Oscar.

I've had my catchweight fun for a week or thereabouts, but still keeping vigilant. You gotta be either disingenuous or new to boxing to say Pac made DLH go down from 154. What, he really wanted a piece of Steve Forbes, hence the 150 CW there.

[richardt]

Have to agree that Manny shouldn't get criticized for beating Oscar at 147 because Oscar thought he had a mark.

Oscar actually chose to come in lower than 147 and did so. He weighed 145 and said he wanted to weigh less for more speed. He made the Chris Bird/Dawson/Leonard/Jones mistake of dropping weight.

De la Hoya talking about the jab is laughable, the guy had no jab till Mayweather Sr. was in his corner.

And in the May fight he used his jab for like 2 or 3 rounds!

You obviously don't know what your talking about! You must not have watched much of Oscar esrly in his career. Oscar had one of the quickest, stiffest jabs there was.

Go back and watch Oscar vs Quartey, there were points inn that fight where he was outjabbing Quartey. He gave Trinidad hell with his jab.

It was one of his primary weapons along with his left hook early in his career. It wasn't til later in his career that he stopped throwing it. I don't know why he did beecause it is what set up everything he did.

To say he had no jab, you obviously didn't watch much of Oscar's career til the end.

If someone throws a fastball 96mph , can o nutritionist take you to 100?? Hell no! Speed & a PHD in the sweet science is May's edge. Canelo is still in skool

Bad sign when they hire a nutritionist. That means the fighter had bad eating habits. Too much fat in the diet, that's why he can shed water weight (fat) and then put it back on by fight time.

No racism here, but a lot of fighters eat what they ate growing up. That means a lot of black fighters eat a diet rich in fat -- fried meat and vegetables seasoned with pig or beef fat. Up and coming Mexican fighters eat meat with tortillas and beans. It's also surprising, that regardless of race, 20-year-fighters eat a lot of Micky D's.

The nutritionist just gets to they guys to cut out bad food.

[Juan,000,000]

I remember when Mayweather considered Cotto undefeated because he only lost to a cheating Margarito n Pacquiao weight drained him... So if canelo losses he will still b undefeated in floyds eyes.
