Fact or fiction: The catchweight benefits Canelo more than it does Floyd.

[Your Mum]

That is an interesting observation and I would tend to agree. It benefited Floyd's ego at the negotiating table but little else.

I think the question we'd all really like answered, having seen your avi is, How long as Dr Evil been black?

[Evol]

If it benefit canelo more then it would have been at 154. lol @ the flow moezz ya working over time for this lol. Hard to swallow eh??

[White_Knight]

If it benefits Canelo more then Floyd wasn't smart in asking for it.

[brick wall]

so you can call losing via catchweight and making up excuses as benefits now?

[The Big Dunn]

it will benefit floyd as canelo will have to spend time getting the last 2 lbs off-which takes away from other aspects of preparation.

I hope Alvarez pulls a Mayweather/Marquez.

me too. then when floyd wins alot of posters will have nothing to whine about.

Once Canelo loses....GBP and team Alvarez will immediately use the "I was drained" or "the weight had a huge effect on my performance" excuse.

I really don't blame them because 1) If they win then Canelo shoots to superstardom 2) If he loses, regardless of how bad, they could just say he wasn't himself and not hurt his stock when it comes to future big fights (Cotto fight etc).

Well tough shyt floyd robbed himself of credit like he usually does.

this is ridiculous. what someone says has no or should have no bearing how you as an individual evaluate what happened.

Listening to Canelo talk about the fight he tells it like hes the one that got over on Floyd by having it on 152. Hes seems to think it wont affect his preparation so I will give him the benefit of the doubt. Ill wait to see how the fight plays out before I start screaming weight drained.
