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

[marvin douglas]

No...they both agreed to meet at 147, thats what the records and articles show but Oscar decided he wanted to be lighter for speed and came in at 145. Article: http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/box...ory?id=3558298 Oscar did a Cherry-pick and he picked a Cherry Bomb instead.

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

Why?

"I have a feeling that De La Hoya wants to to stick his polla in Canelos culo"

WHY? Because he is a HOF'mer who knows the sport of boxing? Your comment shows that you are a hater. PERIOD. Oscar did nothing but fight the best in his career and left no questions about his HOF status. I BET Canelo will come close to winning the fight against Floyd and Oscar will have a BIG part in that because we all know that Floyd wouldn't have beaten him if he had anything left. And still then, Floyd struggled to get the W.

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

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. quit trying to pretend it is. if it were 147-149 id agree but have some common sense whether you hate mayweather or not. And if its really as big deal as u guys pretend why dont u say same about pac man it goes both ways. who was the last fighter pac fought at that fighters normal wieght that didnt have to add or lose weight from that fighters previous fight i think you guys know that and it eats you up because deep down you know pac shouldn have to do that and yet he still does almost every single fight

Are u really this hard headed?? It has been answered for u already, Oscar was the one who challenge PAC at 147 because he thought PAC was easy work. PAC didn't make Oscar come down. Ur telling me in 2008 PAC was calling the shot and force the cash cow superstar Oscar to come down to 147??? lol!!!

Canelo will become a bum soon. Its starting already. Subtle hints dropped of whats to come.

How's it not even close? Floyd is a 2x champ at 154, his 5th division, he is the current WBA Super champ. How should know if he can handle the weight by now.

Pac asks for a CW moving up to his 7th and 8th division. Can handle, defends at full weight. Can't handle, drops the belt on the spot, doesn't crow about being #1 in the division he knows he's too small for.

This is funny. Everytime De La Hoya says something like this on a Mayweather fight, the Flo-mos get their panties in a bunch. The guy is a promoter and is just trying to sell the fight. He would be saying the same **** no matter who Floyd was fighting.

Aww someone is butthurt over this. Fact is that Floyd asked and wanted a CW, don't matter if its 1,2,3lbs off, point is Floyd wants it when he said he fights his opponents at their best! Stop trying to ignored facts. It's something ya flow moez likes to bring up all the time lol that's fact!

floyd is the lineal ww champ. he won a title at 154 over a year ago. the wba wont strip him because they wanted the sanctioning fee for this fight. when did you hear floyd say he's the best JMW in the world?

you're mad the wba is making huge exceptions for floyd and they dont for anyone else. fine. but dont act like he's campaiging at 154 just to try and make an rgument what he is doing is worse thanwinning titles at cw. its not.

Manny dropped the belt because that was the deal bob negotiated with the wbo-agree to let 2 people who were a combined 1-1-1 at 154 lbs fight at 151 for the title, get a fee, manny will drop belt immediately if he wins.
