    Do you think Canelo will be a dead man walking come fight night?

    By the look of it it doesn't look like this will bode well for Canelo. Already looks very trim and still has to get down another 15 pounds by September 13th. Hopefully not but as soon as I saw that pic, I thought oh no he is in trouble.

    Dead man waking? When was the last time Floyd hurt anyone when they were actully looking? 2008 against Hatton a career 140 pounder? Pfft I give this thread two thumbs down!

      Do you even watch boxing? Most fighters dehydrate 10lbs and rehydrate the weight back on, Canelo will be no different, he just needs to lose 5 lbs the proper way in 1 month and he's good to go.

          I am talking about being drained and having no energy. Hard enough to do anything effective against Floyd when you are completely energized.

            Does he look like he has 5 pounds to lose?

              No I think he will be fine and will just have his stamina problems as he always has. He's clearly staying away from 160 to avoid Chavez

                At first 152lb didn't seem to bad a catchweight but now it looks as if Canelo is going to struggle to make this weight.

                  How will he have no energy if he rehydrates properly? Did GGG have no energy when he destroyed Macklin despite dehydrating and rehydrating 10lbs?

                    He weighed the same at the 30 day point against trout, and came in at 153.5 for the weigh in. There should be no excuses, he'll be fine.
