An actual 154 lb fighter could make 152 with no problem wouldn't you agree?

    Alvarez clearly uses his size and weight advantage to win his fights, he has a history of bringing up welteweights and junior welters knowing he can bully and outweigh them a ton. Thats his gameplan and I like the fact Floyd has thrown a wrench in Ginger's blatant strategy.
    it's not even worth the extra analysis tbh about it dude
    Alvarez isn't good enough to beat Floyd, and that's that
    maybe he'll be fine at 152, maybe he'll be weak
    but he'd lose no matter what he weighed, so who cares?
    the principle counts; Floyd talked too much anti CW shit to not get flak
    the CW itself doesn't count; it's an elite guy vs a decent/good guy

      Not really,those guy just were not good at all to begin with.

        When the fight wasn't signed he was good enough to be Floyd but when the fight got signed now all of a sudden he's not........how does that work?

            Of course I'm going to enjoy it, Floyd is da Man!! You'd be shocked that I once hated Mayweather. Round the time he was fighting Corrales I couldn't stand the guy. His trash talk to Chico just seemed evil. But the way he massacred Chico made me a fan. I remember thinking thats the next top dog in this sport.

              can't speak for anyone else
              personally, never believed Alvarez had a chance in hell vs Floyd
              not enough speed, skill, stamina, defense, or work rate to win
              his only chance is power, and that's moot since he won't find Floyd

                What happened to "size doesn't win fights, skills do"?

                  Nothing, Floyd clearly stands by that principle hence the fight is happening September 14

                    Placed in the same folder as the "I hate catch weights, they're disgusting! Oh wait Floyd is doing one now? Never mind, they're ok now."
