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

[nycsmooth]

2 much being made of 2 pounds...Alvarez doesn't need a strength coach, conditioning coach eating away @ his $$$, that 's what he has a trainer & if he uses something a lotta guys don't have, self-discipline, there's no problem...

[turnedup]

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.

Not true and Pedro Diaz has stated so..Cotto did not have an issue with the weight at all until after he got his azz whopped...how do I know I have followed everything Cotto since the start of his career..was my favorite active fighter for a very long time..look at the Cotto VS Trout fight post conference..Cotto does not make for a very graceful loser. Folks are also acting like Cotto was fighting at 154 and had to come to 145...he was at 146 for his fight prior to Pacquaio..losing 1 pound was a big deal? It didn't matter if he came in at at 147,148,149..speed kills Miguel at this stage of his career..end of story.

Sorry buddy but your wrong. Cotto wasnt going to pass on the payday but he was against the catch weight from the start. Now im not blaming that on his loss. His trainer was giving him bad instructions. Cotto always had stamina issues.

If Canelo had the stamina, and workrate that Angulo had when he fought Lara I would say he has the best chance of anyone in the last 10 fights to beat Floyd but he doesn't. End of story.

Pretty much this, I thought he would work on his stamina with another fight against a good durable fighter. I was willing to give him a better chance than anŷone over Mayweather but at the moment I can't, especially with the way he gassed against trout even though he was pacing himself with the number of punches he threw throughout the fight.

Catchweight does matter...2 pounds,if it didnt why do them? Many trainers and boxers have said it does

Morning of the fight, not the weigh in.

floyd going all out to weight drain and make sure the fight is in the bag for him !!!! your supposed to beat your opponent in the ring not on the scales !!! and this is exactly what floyd is trying to do !!! i hope alverez pulls a mayweather and comes in at 154 at the weight in !! the look on mayweathers face would be priceless !!!! as oscar says he doesnt care and pays off alverez weight fine , a couple of mill aint nothing to fishnets anyway !!!!

You just go thread to thread hating on Floyd. Lol!

I think you're gonna have a meltdown when Canelo loses.

Canelo bout to eat more than hamburgesas on Sept 14th. He's gonna eat floyds ass for dinner.

[Da Boxer]

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.

Incorrect. Pac had a rehydration clause on Cotto. One (1) million per pound up to 147lbs, no fight if even one ounce over 147.
