    I personally don't think 152lb catch-weight will effect Canelo. He will easily make it and rehydrate back up.
    You have yet to answer the question. Why didn't Floyd duck Canelo, a fighter you claimed he did not want to fight.

      See your theory would have some merit if it was a same day weign in or rehydration clause but there's neither.

I do have a list of excuses in case Floyd wins though, I make one up before every Floyd fight....I mean, you got to have them ready to cover your pre-fight trolling right?

        Well, admittance is the first step.

          He tried to fight Canelo 2 years ago when he knew it would be easy pickins and Canelo's people said no. He then tried to get Canelo to boost his Guerrero PPV because he knew the numbers wouldn't be good in exchange for a guarantee to fight Canelo yet he wouldn't commit to paper.

          The PPV bombs, Canelo looks like a star in the making in his fight and Showtime forced him to take the biggest fight out there to recoup the PPV losses. Floyd didn't like being forced so he demands 147 ....rejected, he offers 150....rejected, he offers 152 and the fight was finally made.

          Floyd didn't want this fight but now it's his to deal with.

            Do you even read my posts? Let me make it easy for you.

            Floyd = **********
            Showtime = Pimp

            Floyd has a contract with Showtime. Do I need to further break it down for you?

But it was definitely a close fight that could have went either way. The only thing Canelo proved is that he can't clearly beat elite opposition.
                  I agree with your scoring but I dont agree that trout is an "elite" fighter. Dude is solid but far from elite. That was his best oppositon yet and they've hyped thos dude as the greatest fightet from mexico the world has ever seen. Crazy

                      So he planned to duck a guy he agreed to fight next if he was on the undercard but wouldn't committ to it in a contract. But magically they fight next I wonder how that happened could it be that was the plan all along hummmmm.
