Comments Thread For: Photo: Canelo Weighs 157.4 at 7-Day Weight Check

[elchurro420]

Jajaaa!!! 23 year old Canelo, slow, with an average KO% and struggling boxing skills shoudlnt even be fighting Floyd. The catchweight is Floyd's insurance that there's no way this kid even has a punchers chance.
This is just food for the ignorant mass that just sees a big kid and goes "Dat be a big Mexican, da boy be biiggg n' strongg! He be undefeated?? Dammnn boy must be goood!!
BS its a slow kid, with average KO power and no experience. Oh, and he's looking straight out of a concentration camp. This is going to be one hard fight for Floyd. He will need all his box skills to avoid touching this boy until round 6 ot 7, otherwise he'll faint in the middle of the ring without even taking a punch!
Hang on Canelo! please dont go down just yet!!!

booooooooyyyy i know you are not talking with that danny sig on your ****

look at his stomach it is already ****** in which shows he has been cutting

water weight all week.

if you are cutting weight for 2 weeks that is 2 weeks you are weakening

yourself..

for the last two weeks canelo is skipping meals, hitting the sauna, jogging in a sweat suit and floyd

is training like normal.....


if you dont get this i dont know what to tell you...


when you are 7% body fat you only have so much water to cut


ask dlh when he fought pac


75$ to watch floyd pot shot and bicycle to an easy victory while canelo is

light headed and slugging around, no thanks...

So who's fault is it that he's blows up the 170's after he fights? I guess that Floyd fault also. Canelo choses to weigh that much over the weight he fights and now he has to lose the weight which it looks like he's doing just fine.

Canelo's probably going to faint or die on the scales, I hope not but you never know with these catchweights.

Your whole perception is ******. Considering you have no idea how Canelo is training or feeling. You can't expect clueless guessing to pass as facts.

I guess if he looks drain at 157 we can all agree that he should be fighting at 160 instead of 154 any ways.

War on sept 14!!

Man canelo looks fine people! This isn't the first time he does this! People act like he hasn't done this before! No excuses for nobody! It's going to be a good fight and I hope there is a new king crowned that night!

canelo looks in great shape

[knotty150]

I think he looks ok (although I'm not some sort of nutritionist).

Think about the times Morales used to come to the scales looking half dead and soft. It's not all about how you look, it's about how you feel. Look at the shape Bradley comes in at the weigh ins - I dread to think how low his body fat, water retention is but he's always prime come fight night.

I doubt Canelo is water drained right now (unless there some tight 7 day weigh in limit). Usually, a boxer will be drinking gallons of water all day/every day up until the day before the weigh in to trick their body into thinking it still needs to pee every 20 mins (even though your not taking on water), and release water most efficiently and thoroughly.

I personally think it'd be safe to say, the version of Canelo we see against Mayweather will be of equal strength to the version we saw against Trout.

if canelo looks drained how was he gonna make 154 anyway lmao dumb asses

Well, that is part of the point .... if Canelo already shows a low work rate yet still having stamina problems when trying to make 154 then the concern is that going below 152 will certainly make those issues worse NOT BETTER!!!

At least at 154, it's all on Canelo. If he can't make it it's his fault and you can't blame Floyd. At 152 .... we can say he tried but like Floyd said "He remains undefeated because he was drained!"

As for the 157.4 weight, people need to remember that it may be that Canelo had just finished a workout, taken a shower and weighed himself. After a meal, he will go back up over 160.

I'm sure that he is training hard to make 152 ..... but I'm sure that he also trained hard for the Trout fight and Canelo had stamina issues and only worked for 30 seconds per round.

Canelo already has issues. His only advantages were youth and size but Ellerbe and Floyd is hoping that going down an extra 2lbs will decrease those only advantages that Canelo has and augment his weaknesses (eg. stamina issues).

[brick wall]

Manny bought Cotto down from 154 to 147, that's a big deal, this kids got to come down two pounds and Floyd is tiny man, get a grip. No excuses.

what a ****ing moron...where'd you get that info
