Comments Thread For: Hopkins Discusses The Mayweather-Canelo Catch-Weight

[flushuppercut]

The most high-profile fight boxing is on the table and you losers are in here complaining about 2 pounds. If your hatred for one dude is that deep, just get the hell out of here. Sound like a bunch of school girls.

I agree 100%. Real men dont cry over making 2lbs. on the scale.
If they both sign the damn paper,Then there should not be an excuse no matter who wins

You mean like this chump:

"I look at Miguel Cotto as an undefeated fighter because he faced Pacquiao, but Pacquiao caught him at a catch weight. He wasn't the best Miguel Cotto. He was drained. He wasn't hydrated. "

[HeroBando]

never? false

leonard-hearns II

I mean real champs, not sub paper champs like Leonard at 168 (most tainted belt of all time) and DLH at 160. See, it's the fact that you have to go back to this disgraceful precedent that tells the whole story

[cupocity303]

Bernard Hopkins is a legend... a monument...
But he should seriously consider retirement right now -- he should embrace a career in promotion...

What's the point in saying this? He is about to fight again, so just shut up and embrace it.

[FALLENSOLDIER]

No. The difference is that Floyd, already a two time 154lb champ needed a catchweight to fight a fellow champ after taking shots at Pagan for fighting Cotto at one. Add that to the fact that he claims to be the best and boom. A hypocrite Exposed.

Man shut up wit dis shat all yall hypocrites!!!!

No one is givin these fighters slack for comin in weighin 170+ pounds now are they???

Seriously, yall remind me of a bunch of ****in groupies always lookin at everything a person says blowin it out of proportion. Of course Floyd is a hypocrite lol WE ALL ARE!!! We all have been hypocritical at some point in our life damn.....

If you lookin for a moral hero you in the wrong place.....

Canelo won a title wit a catchweight and did not even meet da catchweight agreed upon weight, yet I have heard more about a smaller man askin for a guy that came in in his last fight weigh in at 153, to come in at 152.... a friggin pound lighter... Thats simply a good crap!!!!!

The weight for canelo isnt an issue as he said it wasnt, how is it you guys act as if you know his body better than him???

MANNY, FLOYD ETC ALL HYPOCRITES!!! You ****in saints happy now???

Manny was fightin a man for a title in which the opponent wasnt even in the top 10 at!!!!!!

goddamn at least floyd and canelo are 154 champs...


Why is it that people harp on Floyds marquez catchweight break but conveniently forget canelos?????

AGAIN I HAVENT MET X1 PERSON ON GODS GREEN EARTH THAT WASNT A HYPOCRITE!!!!!!!

COTTO WAS DRAINED..... COTTO DIDNT WANT THE CATCHWEIGHT BUT SAID OKAY BUT NOT FOR MY BELT..... Cotto was gonna be stripped anyway if he didnt comply.... Do you see the difference???

Floyd accepted while canelo offered and is quoted as saying the weight is no issue and has already begun training.

"Pacquiao’s wishes to have the fight take place at a 145 pound catch weight, so that Pacquiao, the smaller fighter, could have a little handicap in then fight. But Cotto didn’t agree to put his WBO title on the line, which I totally agree with.

I mean, Cotto can’t give everything up if he’s already giving in by taking the smaller cut of the PPV revenue, coming in at a lower 145 pound catch weight. By having his WBO belt on the line at the lower weight, just seems wrong. If Pacquiao wants the title, let him put on a couple of pounds and take Cotto on at the regulation weight of 147 instead of trying to have things his own way.

There’s talk that the WBO might pressure Cotto to put the title on the line by threatening to strip him of his title unless he puts it on the line for the fight. The WBO already has said that they’re okay with the title being on the line at the lower 145 pound weight rather than 147. It’s very peculiar how the WBO would choose to bend their rules like this, but oh well, this is boxing for you."

If canelo can train from now june till september and not hit 152 then he literally needs his ass kicked.....

he weighed 153 for trout..... do yall understand this???

SO IN ESSENCE I WILL EXPLAIN

MAYWEATHER DOESNT HAVE THIS ISSUE AS HE FIGHTS AT HIS OPTIMAL WEIGHT AND HOVERS AROUND HIS OPTIMAL WEIGHT AS WELL

CANELO SHOULD NOT BE FIGHTING AT 154 IF HE WANTS TO OUT WEIGH PEOPLE BY 16 POUNDS......

Easy come easy go, didn't the title come vacant via Michael Jennings?

Cotto was drained lol, so how did he manage to run 6 full rounds? It was one of the most dedicated runjobs you'll see, and you're telling me he was drained the whole time? That's 18 minutes with short rests, but it's all lateral and backwards, with a crazed midget after you. If he can do that drained, he shoulda gone into track, he'd be first ballot or better.

[bigsmoothh]

"one thing for sure, canelo will still be undefeated win or lose after the fight" ...floyd mayweather

i hope you are right.......

[A-Wolf]

He could care less. His whole thing is fear. Live scared. Fight scared.

That's Floyd.

[4Corners]

But of course we have people who think it's different than Pac-Cotto.

Manny was fighting at a weight class he'd already been at briefly against Oscar, and the fight was a CW of 145, which Cotto easily made, and openly said he made fine.

Floyd is fighting a weight classes he's been at briefly against Oscar and Cotto, the fight is a CW of 152, which Canelo can easily make and has said will be no problem making. No one is going to be thinking CW when Canelo walks into the ring at 170+
