Comments Thread For: De La Hoya, Canelo: Making Weight is Not a Problem

[WESS]

It's always the same story, weight is great, no problem, then they come in drained as ****. DLH knows a lot about this

Sounds like excuses to me.....

Floyd just made it a lot easier for them to cry.

He certainly did. Makes the whole thing more fun, since you don't have to work hard at all. And it won't wear off as fast than something forced

[WESS]

Nice thing is he stays undefeated no matter what. Makes the rematch more viable if he "loses" (* due to weight drain).

It's a GBP win win situation... Catchweight this time, no catchweight next time. They will complain about weight post fight to justify a rematch.

Either way, if the fight is exciting, a rematch will probably be made and they could easily sell it with the whole Alvarez wont be drained etc etc etc..

It' will be another huge GBP PPV success as people will have hope that Alvarez will be better having those 2 extra pounds to make him super good! Yet if he loses, people will just say he ****** all along and that Floyd cherry picked him.

I dig. What would really sell the rematch though is if Floyd lets them paint him as a bad guy and weight manipulator. Really put the stress on that CW on All Access for the rematch, educate the public on weight stips, with clips of Floyd calling Cotto undefeated, etc

[turnedup]

I actually think Floyd taking a loss is not a bad thing for his pockets...imagine what the rematch would bring in...craziness!!!. Easily $100 million payday on a rematch..and then you still have the tie breaker. Trilogy = Serious money!!! Hell he'd make the entire amount from his contract in less than 3 fights.

What's with people and that, like that one thread talking asking if Canelo had an ATG p4p snake. is there some kind of rumor that i missed here

There's no rumor and you haven't missed anything. Come September 13 a beast will be revealed. Floyd may be a P4P fighter, but a P4P snake will be unleashed upon him. Most insiders believe Canelo's rise to stardom is associated with the heat he's packing. Floyd intimidates with words. Canelo let's his snake do the intimidating.

Just People Trying To Get In The Head Of Canelo; Sorry, Canelo KO's Floyd, Period

Just head games..... Floyd needs a new comeback for that lame... 'there's no blueprint on beating me..... there's a blueprint on everybody else"..... seriously the blue print if to make you fight Floyd. We all know you don't like getting hit, you don't take a punch well. We know you got roughed up with Cotto and Mosley, both well past their prime, and strategic hand picking on your part. Hence why you never agreed to fight Pacquaio... too dangerous. You got hit with some body shots by Guerrero, got on your bike and fled the scene, which you are good at, in and out of the ring, Floyd. The only guy you knocked out in recent memory is Ortiz who dropped his hands, backed out of a clinch, got ****** and looked at the referee and you sucker punched him.... the last guy you stopped was a smaller, lead with your chin, one dimensional Ricky Hatton who gave you trouble for 11 rounds!!! Your hand picked run is over.... Canelo KNOCKS YOU OUT, Junior.....

Getting ready to claim the crown!

Not once on 2 episodes of All Access did they show Canelo putting any food into his mouth. That means hes struggling to make weight

On the HBO 24/7 JCC Jr vs Martinez, they showed Martinez eating a huge steak and sides during training. Thats when you are gonna make weight comfortably. Not no losing 16 pounds in 30 days in your early 20's
