Vid: Ellerbe claims an article on BoxingScene is what made the fight a Catchweight

[Bushbaby]

"The fight is at 152, but it's really not about the weight, it's the skill". Yup, which is why the fight isn't at 154. You can fool you're stupid lil fans, but you can't fool me.

Floyd is smoke and mirrors man. Only idiots believe everything he says, its funny thought they will say you are misinterpreting his comments.

"I'll fight Mayweather @ 150" - Saul Alvarez

If you want the fight this much then accept the offer which is given. Matter of fact, you made the offer in the first place, wether you were high, drunk or just naive/stupid when you laid it out there on the table, it doesn't matter. So, it's really on you - not the other way around (Canelo and his management).

So, Canelo lied? What does the date change? If it was 5-7 years ago, then yes, you MAY have had a point. You don't.

It changes nothing. You want the fight and you already laid the terms down for the person who's in the driver's seat - it's on you. They should learn how to play their cards right but they got eager.

The aforementioned article is still viable. Why should Floyd fight him at 154 when Canelo already said that he'll do anything to fight him at 150?

Because people grow, especially 21-23. He used to fight at 147, now he'd have to cut something off to get there. He's probably physically unable to make 150 now, and that's one of the reasons that offer would go off the table.

Another reason is that Floyd is now a SWW champ that just last year boasted about giving his opponent his best weight. So that all adds up to 154

lol, these flowmos are so good at defending Floyd, its called unconditional love or as they say we gots to defend our own.

Ellerbe has to be one of the most unlikeable characters in boxing a true butt kisser yes man

Wasn't he a former Roid user? he was a personal trainer and bodybuilder or something like that years ago before he met Floyd.

It just makes no sense whatsoever why Canelo would ax for a catchweight.

Because HE said he ONLY fights fighters at their comfortable weight
