Comments Thread For: Photo: Canelo Alvarez is Slim and Trim, Weighs 166.8

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.

Then why did Floyd demand it?

Newbies stand out like a sore thumb. He'll be around that size on fight night, he'll just dehydrate to the weight like 90% of fighters do.

It's not as easy as that, just ask J'Leon Love.

One cannot dehydrate big bones.

A lot of fighters drain 10+ pounds every fight it's almost standard practice now.

Then why did Floyd demand it?

To level the playing field as Floyd is so much smaller isn't that the reason Manny demanded it on guys a lot smaller than Canelo .

I think it is great that you Alvarez fans support him so much that you are already making excuses for his loss one month before the fight. No of you complained about him being weight drained against Trout, even though he weighed in only 1.5 more than he is scheduled to weigh for the Mayweaher fight. But now, all of a sudden, losing the extra weight will drain him! He can lose that 1.5 pounds by taking a s...t before the weigh in. No need to worry, however. After Mayweather beats him and gives up the belts to move back to 147, I am sure Jose Sulamain will award him the WBC 154 pound championship belt again by sanctioning a rematch for the vacant belt against Matthew Hatton. No way will he move to 160 because the guys at 160 are better than Lara and Martiroysan, whom he has avoided like the plague at 154.

It's apparent you know nothing about boxing. First, even 1 single pound in a championship fight can make a giant difference. Second, it's Canelo's own fault for accepting the terms, I think every boxer/boxing fan understands that Mayweather is the one with an advantage, not Canelo. Third, Lara and Martiroysan are great contenders, but they will not match Canelo. I hate to break it to you, but both would get dropped. You can speculate all you want, but that's the hard truth.

How d hell is he gonna lose almost 15 pounds. He took the bait. $$$$$$$

[brick wall]

it would be best if these floyd fans would just admit that the catchweight is in floyd's favor and move on rather than defend it.

besides, these simpletons were at one time fierce critics of catchweight fights.
