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.

Seems like most fighters aren't as ravaged by it as you make out, and they have 32 hours until the fight post weigh in, educate me if that is not sufficient.

This goes to show he has no business at 154

Look at him, he's outgrown the weight class

In my book his weight advantage has won him a lot of fights, but now he's getting bigger and it's levelling out the advantage he had

most fighters aren't 100% after they weighin. The demand it takes on your body the last week of cutting weight surely will not allow you to be 100% on fight night.

You can always minimize the damage to cut weight by eating right and not partying.

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.

Pac is coming off being destroyed by Marquez you are right. Since that is the case how and the hell can you guys have the nerve to say he is the best when for one he never beat Marquez decisively. And two he is facing a guy coming off of a loss moving up in weight.

Nothing wrong with that! But when you have his fans still acting like he is the best and talking ish about Canelo as if he wouldn't be the favorite at 152 against pac or Rios is funny. Basically what I am saying is Canelo would be at least a 10-1 favorite against Rios. And probably a 3-1 favorite against pac.

So at this moment Canelo is way more of a dangerous opponent than Rios or Pac! If Canelo were to fight both of them he would be the favorite against both.

Imagine if Floyd was facing Rios who came off of loss moving up in weight? How much slack he would get.

And if Pac was facing undefeated Canelo at 152? How much praise he would get. But numbers don't lie, and Sept 15th more fans will be hurt. The same ones crying are the same ones saying he wouldn't face Canelo how ironic?

And weren't you the same dude who said Rob would destroy Floyd? And that Floyd would duck Rob?? I had to get you.

[HeroBando]

didn't pac want a 150lb fight with Cotto after Floyd beat him? Two former 154lb champs right?

Not 2 current champs, right? Makes sense, since it's not very champlike to request a CW in the division you're holding a belt in

[KickAzz]

The ginger don't stand a chance... I dunno why Cherrypicker had to weight drain him

[HeroBando]

Manny: I'll fight Miguel Cotto for his WBA 154 title!!...at 150!!!!!!

Nope, Cotto had already lost his belt to Floyd when Pac offered 150, as Cotto requested.

[HeroBando]

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.

What's the point of banning these idiots, they just come back with an alt and get spat on again. rinse and repeat

And two he is facing a guy coming off of a loss moving up in weight. Any jrWW wanting to move up 1 division to fight is a whole lot better than coming two divisions up to fight @ ww. Any Pac Fan is gonna feel he is the best. That what Fans do. If you are a fan of the Miami dolphins Youre gonna ride with them, wouldnt you? Manny is coming of a BAD KO loss, while Rios loss came from a fighter who ran with pot shots. And he did hurt Averado a few time in the fight. Hence the reason he ran!

You cannot put Rios and Canelo in the same bracket. they are two division apart and as you can see...Canelo is 170lbs right now. Stop comparing Rios and Canelo.
So at this moment Canelo is way more of a dangerous opponent than Rios or Pac! If Canelo were to fight both of them he would be the favorite against both. Speculation. Rios wont fight at 154. And Pac will not fight @ 154 again. If he did it would be a cw and Canelo will have to drain himself even lower IMO...therefore it is just speculation again!

Imagine if Floyd was facing Rios who came off of loss moving up in weight? How much slack he would get. Not much is expected from any fighter coming off a KO loss. Especally a devastating KO loss. Most tune ups come in the form of fighting some bum ass club fighter or sparring partner. Rios is not either and his only loss by desision came from the guy(Alverado) he KOd in a rematch that he (Alvarado) ran the entire fight. So who the hell can give any fighter (even Floyd ) shlt for taking a fight with a tough rugged hard hitter type of opponent?

And if Pac was facing undefeated Canelo at 152? How much praise he would get. But numbers don't lie, and Sept 15th more fans will be hurt. The same ones crying are the same ones saying he wouldn't face Canelo how ironic?:ANYWORD:

And weren't you the same dude who said Rob would destroy Floyd? And that Floyd would duck Rob?? I had to get you. Yes. If he fought like he did with Berto. But he didnt. And he ****** that night. If the big lime light got to him or he got paid off...whatever the reason, he didnt fight with the same hunger and intensity he did with Berto. Then after watching Betos last fight i came to the realization that Berto is a bum. So Robs fight with him made better sense and so did his fight with Floyd. Floyd dont fight guys who make him look bad. He fights guys that make him look good. Coming up two divisions sucker punching draining them ...whatever it takes!

Im here to help you!

[NearHypnos]

Canelo could play Leon from Resident Evil with that hair.


On a side note (not sure if mentioned) but does his right foot look swollen as f uck or wtf lol
