Fellow Floyd fans,stop trying to justify the catchweight.

[richardt]

It's laughable the amount of people who hate on Floyd though and compare the catchweight of Canelo.. like the catchweights Pacquiao demanded...

Did you forget the fact that Pac didn't insult another Boxing star for Catchweights and then do the same thing. If Floyd is wrong for fighting Catchweights, SO IS PAC!!! But only ONE of them insulted another star for doing it and that was Floyd:

"I would never want to put a fighter in a position where he's not comfortable. I want a guy when he's at his best. If he's at his best at 154 and he's strong and he's solid, then that's the fight we're fighting at. I walk around at 150, but at the end of the day - skills pay the bills.... Give me the guys where they are comfortable at their weight so there are no excuses."

I'm a real boxing fan, and a bit of both...

He demanded Cotto fight at 145=2 pounds and demanded Margo fight at 150=4 pounds..Floyd said he does not do catchweights yet tried to make Canelo come to 147 and is fighting at a catchweight of 152=bull****...but as a fan i will enjoy the fight..but refuse to make any excuses

Canelo isn't comfortable at 152 as opposed to 153?

Ricky Hatton walked around 180lbs.

and he walked around drinking and eating fish and chips in bars

[Larry the boss]

and he has been in 2 hard fights at 154.. so no, he doesn't perform well there.. just like De La hoya fought at 160.

He fought 2 elite fighters there,had nothing to do with the weight it was the style

Cotto has said his best was 154lbs.

Mayweather is a 147lb fighter... of course he wants advantages? he also never demanded canelo come to any weight...

At the end of the day Mayweather is not a comfortable 152lber.. You can lick bum on here all you want... but that's how it is.

And mayweather eats fried chinese food.

Oscar was a huge favourite because he was supposed to come in the bigger heavier guy

I agree with this...I lost $100 betting on DLH, not knowing how unhealthy he was...I heard there was a re-hydration clause (sucka *****), if there wasn't then you can't blame Pac for it.

Cotto was 146 against Clottey and 145 with Manny so was he not comfortable?

LOL....

At 147lbs Mayweather destroys the both of them....

Weight had everything to do with it.
