if fraud jr wins only by a boring ud fighting a weight drained zombie then it will confirm the notion by majority of boxing fans that fraud is nothing but a over hyped BUM.

For real. If he cant take a weight drained Canelo out, something is wrong.

Canelo should have moved up a while ago, he should look into trying to work deal, maybe set a rehydration limit to appease Mayweather.

Hatton walked around at 170 and made 140 with ease it don't mean a fck , why are you lot always arguing irrelevant stuff , the relevant evidence is he made 153 last april with no nutritionists or strength trainers , his weight right now is on the money perfect , he don't have to lose any more flesh than right now , its all fluid losing and regaining , just like Manny losing 14lbs to make 135 , the much bigger Canelo can lose the same very easy , just do the maths !

If you don't know about how making weight works and cant put the known facts together in a logical way , then why hate with unsubstantiated BS .

You are he biggest hypocrite on here, constantly mentioning Manny and slagging on him for fighting at catchweights and then going on to defend Floyd using a catchweight against Canelo, despite the big deal Floyd made about fighting his opponents at their strongest/most comfortable weight. Just GTFO, your relevance here ended one second after you registered.

Rios just lost at 140 so of course pac is fighting him! Why not Alvarado the winner of the fight???? His hand was hurt?? Lol but yet he is fighting in October... So would pac fight Canelo at 152 with no rehydration claws?? I think not!

Pac is fighting a 140 pounder moving up in weight coming off of a loss, and Mayweather is facing an undefeated fighter who has never been knocked down. What is more impressive? Oh aight! And if Canelo were to face Rios at 152 who would be the favorite??

That is just showing you the direction and the oppossition that Floyd and pac or facing. Canelo would be like a 10-1 favorite against Rios.

And you still can't answer any of the questions... Another victim under my belt.

Pac is also coming of one of the most devastating KOs in some time. I understand you are a tad bit feeble minded and cannot understand to much logic. So i will be easy on you. You act like Pac has been on a hot steak.
Oh and Rios stunned Alverado in there last fight. He also ran like scared school girl the entire fight. When he did decide to fight it out Rios got the best of him. So he decided to run. Alverado won a decision. He didnt win over the hearts of die hard fight fans.

all the fat arses here have never cut weight obviously. He is just training, about a month out. A top class athlete can shed 14 lbs in a week which most fighters do. Chael Sonnen shed like 20 lbs in 3 days. Canelo still has a month to go

You talk about weight cutting as if it's perfectly healthy simply because it's not uncommon in sports like boxing, MMA and wrestling.

Obviously, there are athletes in these sports who cut and are able to compete successfully. That's the whole point of cutting in the first place: you're betting that being able to gain a size advantage over your opponent will give you a significant edge. But please don't pretend that cutting doesn't have an impact on conditioning and overall health. Ask any doctor (or registered dietitian) and you'll be hard pressed to find one who will suggest that cutting is beneficial for health and athletic performance. In fact, one recent study even found that cutting can have a negative impact on mental function.

I know this will probably be taken as blasphemy around here, but cutting is a lot like crack: you can do it for a decade or more and it won't necessarily kill you, but just because you have a pulse doesn't mean you're not paying a price.

Yeah, and look at what happened to Hatton. Sadly, habits and lifestyle tend to catch up with fighters who don't take care of themselves 365. It's no surprise that the guys who are known to take care of themselves between fights (Floyd, Bernard, etc.) tend to be the ones still competing at an elite level beyond the ages at which most fighters are well into their retirement.

[Doctor_Tenma]

I don't even know if I can sympathize. Mayweather is clearly the much smaller man, an article was posted on here about Mayweather's camp showing concerns because of Canelo's rehydrating up to 172, Floyd has never faced a bigger opponent. I do wonder if Canelo tried to negotiate a rehydration limit instead, that would have been better for him.

[itsafight]

LMAO @ That pic

Man, this is not good for Canelo. That is damn near 4lbs per week.

Man you don't know what the hell you're talking about. He won't lose that much before the weigh in, maybe 5 pounds. 24 hours before the weigh in he will dehydrate himself to lose the 10lbs, do you even watch boxing? Most fighters these days are rehydrating 10lbs come fight night.

Here's a question for you: approximately how long does it take for the human body to fully rehydrate under perfect conditions?* Answer that question and you'll probably understand why fighters shouldn't dehydrate themselves to make weight.

* Hint: it's more than 24 hours.

[LOWBLOW_CHAMP]

You guys doing all this crying. If Canelo is "a drained zombie" at 166, then he'd be a drained zombie at 154. Or 152. Or 160.

See? Those 2 pounds really don't matter. So move on.

exactly canelo should be at 168 with ward but he always wants someone smaller never alot bigger

[Detroit29]

there is double standards when floyds criticizes pac and then he does the same, canelos offer was for a fight in 2011 which never happened, canelo also offered a fight to miguel vazquez at 140lbs when he was 17yo and acording to you he should do that fight now?
like i said floyd fanboys need some self respect....

Dude...He can't make 140 even if he tried today. But he can make 152. Anything between 148-154 is JMW. So Canelo is still a JMW at 152. That's not a drain. He was just 153 for Trout. Like I stated, if he is growing and having a hard time make 154, then why is he still fighting in that division? But let's keep it 100. This is a money grab fight. BOTH men signed to fight knowing the implications of weight, ring size, gloves, purse etc. Have no pity for Canelo because this grown man signed the contract. He could've fought anybody in the 154 pd division. Canelo has been beating up junior welters and welterweights.

The difference between May and Pac for catch weight fights is that Floyd doesn't have a rehydration clause in it...like Pac did against Cotto and Oscar. Do you really think Oscar would rehydrate himself 2 pounds before a fight? Even when he was fighting at 147, he would balloon back JMW or more. Even Chad Dawson rehydrated pass 2 pounds against Ward. The difference is there is no rehydration limit. Plus I never complained about Pac's catch weight fights. The other side agreed to it, so what's there to argue about. In cotto's case, he was "forced" into the catch weight. He was going to stripped of his title if he didn't do the fight.
