Comments Thread For: Schaefer on The Weight Penalty Clause For Floyd-Canelo

[Old//Bones]

alvarez is a young fighter in 22, if he was 30 fighting @ 154 coming to 152 than it would be problem nutrionist or not, he is not even worried about making the weight.this is going to backfire on mayweather.

BS he was eating hamburgers in the morning.

And I think Canelo is an idiot for taking the catchweight, and you just KNOW it is going to be the excuse used when Mayweather beats him.

So you would of passed on 12 million dollars? Is Canelo gong to make that fighting anybody else? It's basically a free 12 mil because if Canelo fights somebody like Lara he will never get that. And if Canelo looses to someone like Lara he would never get Floyd.

Floyd is basically free money to Canelo because there's no shame in loosing to Floyd. And Canelo gets to keep his fan base. But if Canelo gets knocked off by some lesser fighter/fighters his fan base will bail quicker than ****.

to all the cry babies that said that mayweather drained alvared. there you have it. it was alvared that was willing to come down to make the fight. and mayweather took the offer. does'nt matter anyway because money does'nt care about you jealous haters,he going to get paid big time,and will win.

from hamburgers to quail egg shakes. Canelo power!!!

No one is going to think about the Catchweight when the fight is about to happen, they'll just know Canelo is over 170 and Floyd is like 150. The same thing happened with Pacquiao-Cotto, no one was thinking about it when Cotto came in big and ready to fight.

In other words...we F10m0s are very ok with catchweight fights now that it's Floyd .

4corners is consistent. you on the other hand now have a problem wih CW fights 2lbs less than the division max. You didn't have a problem when manny did it to cotto. You argued that cotto was fine and wasn't drained.

what caused you to change your opinion?

After all the pacquaio hate you've spewed you want to call folks crybaby? Ironically about the same thing regarding catchweights. Let's just hope you remember this moment in time next time you trip over another pacquaio article and his 8 divisions of belts.

Cotto was never on board with the whole catch weight thing. Manny had to pay Cottos sanctioning fees after they got the WBO involved. Total opposite here. Listening to Canelo he's acting like he has Floyd right where he wants him. Cotto went kicking and screaming through the whole negotiating process.

I agree, nobody outside of these boards cares, though Floyd's hypocrisy didn't go unnoticed by boxing writers. Not so much the wider public since he's a pretty fringe celeb. But on these boards, CW taunting was the most popular topic for like 3 years, so it'd be strange to cut it off right now.

Also, I'm wondering how we'll know their fight night weights if Floyd refuses to step on the scale, as is his habit?
