I've had to make weight, it's hard enough as it is, getting down to whatever the limits may be, now going a pound or 2 south of that limit may be even harder, especially if you're someone like Canelo, who based on weight, seems like he could make 160 quite easily (would be the wrong move considering he is only 5'7'').
Floyd knows what he's doing here, he knows he has a young fighter who is still growing into his frame, he wants to squeeze as much out of him as he can. I think Floyd beats Canelo at 152 or 154 it don't matter but Floyd in his mind believed Canelo was a big threat and the best way to defeat that threat was to lessen his natural physical attributes. Devious yet clever move.

I see your other point is a " seems as " which is really just your opinion based on your observation , in other words your guessing .
Floyd does know what he is doing , he is a small 147 will give 20 pds away on the night and if he can squeeze him a little he probably feels he can pull that 20 pds back a little , get a bit of mental pressure on him , maybe Canelo should have not offered 150 in the first place , it can also backfire on Floyd and Canelo can benefit from it , depends solely on the preparation .
Again upping the level of training and nutrition to a level higher than Canelo has ever trained at before can have a huge effect on how easy or hard he makes the weight .
So in the end assuming Canelo will have weight problems is based on nothing but your personal opinion , only having to lose 8% of his bodyweight 30 days out is perfect why don't you know that ? , you should know that if you knew how to make weight , so does my nephew having his 2nd amateur bout know how to make weight , I wouldn't be saying he knows what he is doing at this level of the sport .
Do you think Cotto was weight drained against Manny , all the evidence is in and the fight has been done , well was he drained ?
