Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Canelo is a Risk, But I'm That Much Better

[Phil Ivey]

It doesn't work like that I'm afraid, Mayweather fans made it "de rigueur" for boxing fans to criticise catchweights and now the shoe fits on the other foot they have to wear it.

Personally, I like catchweights and have no real issue with them when they're only like 1 or 2lbs.

This.. Mayweather could've made a point to make it 154 even if 152 was offered since he has vilified Pac for it. I just hope Canelo doesn't have too much trouble making it.

Be thankful that we have this fight! WAR: Floyd vs Canelo.

Mayweather "Sees Himself As One Who Likes Taking Risks"... LOL, Really???

What does Floyd Junior know about taking risks???? He's hand picked his career from start to present.... Avoided Cotto & Mosley in their prime, making them wait more than 10 years. STILL has avoided Pacquaio, in his prime. Junior is an idiot. Likes taking risks????? What risks? Most felt Dela Hoya beat him, and Junior walked away from $25M for a rematch. Rather than fight Maidana after Maidana destroyed Victor Ortiz in 8 rounds, Myaweather chose the loser of that fight Victor Ortiz, rather taking on the WINNER, Maidana... WHO DOES THAT????? And Floyd says he takes risk????? What a weasel.

I still don't understand why floyd tried to duck this guy in may, floyd should walk all over this guy...

You do realize that he had to cut weight for the Mathew Hatton fight and that was a horrible fight for Canelo?

So you can't say "regardless of the two pounds."

Those two pounds are the difference between 100% and 75%.

I think the Hatton fight was more Canelo having a hard time getting up for that fight, more so than Canelo looking sub-par because of weight drain. Besides, he battered Hatton anyway. Landed almost HALF of his punches, and tripled Matthew in power punches landed.

He'll be fine.
