Comments Thread For: Canelo: Mayweather Wanted 147, Tried To Keep Us Quiet

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

Anyone who thinks that it wasn't Mayweather and his camp wanting to lower the weight is blind and on Floyd's nuts.

He wants every advantage he can get, and that's ok because he's the champ and that's the way it works.

this guy's been begging for this fight for a year, now that he got what he wanted and the fight's days away he's complaining about a weight clause???? somebody's getting a little nervous.

LOL, You can't be serious, I'm sure. He beat the best 154 pound fighter in the world in Austin Trout (you conveniently left him out of your post). He had fights set up to go against Williams...fell through, Kirkland.....fell through and Angulo if I'm not mistaken. This fight is for both of their 154 pound belts...so why is this fight at 152 again?

Why did Floyd have a 154 pound title yet beat upon smaller 147 pounders that moved up from feather weight like Guerrero?

Whoop de do. He finally defended his title against a legit top 5 contender. Let's give him credit for FINALLY doing something he's supposed to do.

And fights falling through is no excuse for a world champion defending his title against Alfonso Gomez, Shane Mosley and Josesito Lopez. He could of fought Lara, Angulo, Kirkland or Molina. Hell, those guys were fighting each other, why wasn't Canelo getting in the mix?

And who are these "smaller 147 pounders moving up"? Fighters move up all of the time. Ortiz was a welterweight world champion and Guerrero had 2 fights at welterweight and was the number 1 contender after beating Aydin. Marquez was a non-title fight.

He fought ****ing JOSESITO LOPEZ!! Please defend that selection for me. Do it. I'm not replying if your response does not include a defense of that opponent selection.

Oh man its fight week! The hype is building even more in my area!

who gives a ****, Floyd is 147, Canelo is making his biggest purse with Floyd, so who needed who here?

Boxing fans are so ******, they forget that this is a business SMH

Both guys needed each other. What other fight can Floyd have right now that is projecting 1.6-1.7 Million buys on PPV? Matthysse? Khan? Alexander? Maidana? What were the official Guerrero numbers again?

Keep Them Quiet? Really?



^it is no secret because Floyd Sr was pushing for his son to fight him at 147 long before the fight was signed and made that Very Clear

But that fact that the weight is being talked about MORE AND MORE as the fight nears shows me a lack of confidence and some CONCERN from Canelo's Camp and Fans

NOBODY FORCED YOU TO SIGN ANYTHING! When you sign a contract that means your AGREEING TO SOMETHING! They should have been doing all this complaining BEFORE THE CONTRACT WAS SIGNED, not after and days before the fight

Nervous about what? They just called out Mayweather's team on their bull****.

They're not making an issue though, they're being asked questions by the media and adding the scene on All Access where they Ellerbe said the catchweight was all Canelo's team's which clearly wasn't the case. Canelo's team the entire training camp haven't b*tched about the catchweight and only make mention when being asked. Nothing different here.

And while were on the subject of Guerrero, why the change of heart?

They still address it when they could easily brush it off and say "The Weight Don't Matter" I will be ready on Saturday

The Real answer should be "We BOTH AGREED TO THE CATCHWEIGHT" because that is what they did when they signed the contracts "AGREED"
