They say it because he usually does come in above 170 on fight night. What was his weight his last fight vs trout on fight night, it was above 170 i'll tell you that.

 That's correct but remember he was fighting a bigger man
 In trout who was also over 170, every other fights he's
 Had a at 154 he's come in at 165 give or take a pound which
 Is what most fighter at that weight normally doComment

 Right but he may even come in a bit smaller then Ortiz because Ortiz is every bit of 5'9 and was 164 while Canelo is really only 5'8 and will come in around 165 and now that he is smaller his body may not balloon up anymore he may even tip the scales at 151 so basically Canelo will be an average welterweight's size.. IMO he has a better chance coming in around 168 he needs to be a lot heavier and bigger then Floyd to cause him problems like Cotto did not come in light as a feather trying to be quick when he's not..I won't pretend to know whether it's better for Canelo to come in at ~165 or above 170 on fight night. On one hand, cutting 20 pounds to make weight simply isn't healthy and conducive to conditioning. On the other hand, a lot of people who expect Canelo to overpower Floyd are banking on Canelo coming in 20-plus pounds heavier.
 
 If that doesn't happen, which appears possible now, and Canelo weighs less than 170 on fight night, size-wise he'll basically be another Victor Ortiz without Victor Ortiz's stamina.Comment

 This is an amazing post.so mayweather, you say canelo asked for 152
 dont you think its bc you wouldnt have fought him at 154, so hype-pethetically
 152 lb catchweight was bc of a decision you made
 
 ya get it now?
 
 personally, your a fool. your prob gna win, but your gna win the same way at 152 as you would at 154.. only difference is, you made yourself look like a cervix & the mons pubis & the labia minora & the uterus, the fallopian tubes, the ovaries, the pubic symphasis, estrogen & progesterone. you my friend is what the fck is wrong w the sport we love the most

 That is after they signed. Shaefer and Oscar have to promote now as the fight is all signed up. No choice.
 
 BUT this was Oscar and Schaefer BEFORE the fight was signed:
 
 "Schaefer: Canelo cannot go lower than 154 for a Mayweather fight"
 http://www.boxingnews 24.com/2013/05/schaefer-canelo-cannot-go-lower-than-154-for-a-mayweather-fight/
 
 
 De La Hoya: Mayweather has to come up to 154 for Canelo
 "Canelo is barely making 154, says De La Hoya, and Canelo can’t even make 152 for a catchweight fight. "
