Leonard Ellerbe says Canelo n his team are lying about his current weight

[Reloaded]

lol damage control.

it's the required 30-day weigh-in...you lie about it for what? does it make his chances any better? or does it make people more interested about the fight? it's actually the opposite...you lie about weight like that and the people will get more su****ious that canelo will be weight drained.

now watch them floyd fanboys pulling out their poms poms to support ellerbe's claim

I don't believe it , it makes no sense , it does not mesh with Canelos prior fight weights or his target weight for this fight , why would anybody want to support these claims lol .

Someone post that vid of ellerbe sliding and falling on the stage like an idiot

OK, here it is

Why is Ellerbe dis*****g that Canelo doesn't weigh 166.8 30 days from the weigh-in? Who's to say Mayweather and his team aren't lying about him weighing 150.3? It's his wordd against theirs.

We can hardly see Mayweather's torso let alone his feet in this picture and it would behoove Mayweather and his team for us to think that he barely makes 150. More credit to Floyd if he wins, less criticism if he looks bad or loses.

That's a good point. Floyd hates same day weighins, but loves to leak weights from camp

[BafanaBafana]

We don't have to use either of their words. Common sense tells us something doesn't make sense about canelos weight reporting while Floyd's seems accurate enough. Ellerbes premise that canelo us lying about weight is shared by many one way or another. That's an accurate statement. U don't go into camp weighing 165 and gain a lb 30days out. That doesn't happen.

The problem is that Ellerbe (you too apparently) is dis*****g the 166.8 weight instead of the 165 estimate that was brought up by Canelo's team in reference to how much Canelo weighed (roughly) when training camp started.

I personally believe that Canelo's team erred on the low end (naturally) when bringing up that Canelo weighed 165 when training camp began. However, Ellerbe claims that there is no way Canelo weighs 166.8 and that he probably weighs closer to the 150's.

My guess for why he is doing this is because he doesn't want people to complain about Canelo being weight drained. However, under his premise who is to say Floyd's team isn't also lying about the 150.3 weight?

There is no erring on the low end. Wtf are u talking about? If canelo is 166 rite now, either he was nowhere near 165 going into camp or hr has no business fighting at 154 because his weight has completely plateaued. I'm not sure what u are trying to say but either his team was lying, is lying now, or they are in serious trouble. Its that simple. Saying they erred is ludicrous. U don't gain a lb or even end up anywhere near the weight u go into camp at if your goal is to work your way down. If u do, then u are failing miserably.

That's a little closer to my point. I think Canelo's team probably made a low estimate of Canelo's weight coming into camp. However, Ellerbe has no business dis*****g Canelo's 166.8 30 day weigh-in unless he wants people to dispute Mayweather's 150.3 30 day weigh-in.

And I'm saying it's much harder to dispute one over the other. Now do I think Canelo is 166? Absolutely. But his team shouldnt have lied about the kids weight going into the fight. If anyone is being dishonest then it's team Canelo. I dunno why anyone would dispute Floyd's weight, it always seems to be about the same. Canelo's ass should be at middleweight. To me that is more than obvious.

Then we have nothing to dispute.

Canelo's team can say whatever they want whether they underestimated Canelo's pre-training is as irrelevant as it is whether they did it on purpose or not. However, Ellerbe shouldn't be dis*****g Canelo's 166.8 30-day weight unless he wants others to dispute Mayweather's 150.3 30-day weigh-in, which is very low even for a welterweight.

[Zano-24]

He probably isn't lying because when you think about it Canelo still fights at SWW. Which means he has to at least make 154 which he always does. He looked very much in shape in that last post picture on the scales so them saying he was at 166 could just be mind games. People always buy in to bs politics these boxers use. He def had to have been closer to 154 then 166 because in that last picture its hard to believe he would have to lose 12 pounds to meet 154 let alone 14 pounds to meet 152.

[Da Machine]

You guys realize fighters who cut weight generally cut anywhere from 5-20lbs right? It's all water weight.

I can't stand Ellerbe. He's a creepy old hype man. Why is Floyd friends with him?

Isn't the 30 day weigh in conducted by the commission? Pretty sure it is, and if it is then how could it be a lie.
