    Yes, Floyd does need advantages to win his fights and also even to dare take afight that he is infamous for already.

    Correct me if im wrong but has any Canelo opponent ever requested a CW and that they wont fight Canelo without one?
    If no, then Floyd is requesting things no one has ever done. And the fact that Floyd is supposedly the best in the world it makes it evenworse.

        Canelo didn't look drained to me. He looked like he was in supreme condition. He didn't even fade late like I'd seen him do in previous fights. Same people crying are the same ones screaming fight GGG and Martinez at 154. They don't have a problem with those old guys cutting the weight. But there crying about a 23 yr old cutting 2 lbs? Hypocrites.

          Jesus stfu with the draining bull. When a fighter agrees to the catch weight, that's on them.

          The only people who complain about catch weights are hater fans dismissing wins by saying "drained"...........did canelo complain?

            It's not a great win because Canelo isn't anything close to being a great fighter. Maybe in time he can prove himself to be and Mayweather's win over him will grow in stature, but he's not proven himself to be anything more than a pretty good boxer who's marketing and hype far exceeded his actual talent level.

            Something about Pac fans and criticising other boxers for requesting catchweights.

              Well yeah, 'Nelo did complain 'bout it a bit, but he got his payday and that's what I guess really mattered to him.

              Prior to the fight few people aside from die hard 'Nelo fans thought he had much of a chance. It ain't like he's bad, but it's difficult to sell it as an impressive win for Floyd - certainly not a win that I'd consider justification for being Fighter of the Year (though arguably a step up from Guerrero).

                  by your logic Manny didn't have an impressive win the last 5 years other then Diaz at 135 and Clottey at 147
                  Logic? You are NOT making any sense!

                  Floyd has fought at 154 three times now and has a title there. Once you have a title and it's your 3rd fight and your opponent has a title at 154 then it's time to STOP it with the CWs. Especially when the opponent struggled before to make CWs and has stamina issues. AGAIN, it's a very different situation that it just not making sense to you alone. Everyone would have realized that but for some strange reason you are defending that.

                  I have criticized Manny including when he fought guys that appeared to make less sense than who he should be fighting. You defend a move that Floyd shouldn't have done (man, ding ding ding .... it was his 3rd fight at 154 ..... hello!!! Team Floyd even were laughing at all the weaknesses that Canelo had. So they need to add another one by doing a CW?????)

                  Don't you want to see Floyd fight the best and not remove the opponents attributes (eg CW)?

                  I know someone that he always needs to have the advantage when he does something competitive. I usually prefer being the underdog as I like the challenge. Now I'm not saying that Floyd needs to be the underdog but again, don't you want him to for once fight an opponent that doesn't have people criticizing the fight? A fight where the odds are not so tilted?

                  As for Rios, again, that was option #3. So just think of 2 fighters that Floyd has a good chance of losing to and those guys saying no to a Floyd fight and then Floyd picks Canelo. Then anyone who would blame Floyd is just plain biased hater.

                  Again, when I see Manny, Floyd or anyone else, I want to see them challenge themselves. The exceptions are when they lose the way Manny did. That is when I can handle an easier opponent ...... BUT being that Rios will come in stronger than ever, can take a punch, is younger and always hungry while Manny has many questions due to his last fight, Rios can be trouble as well. That is like Roy Jones taking on a puncher after getting KOed by Tarver. Not the best of moves!

                    Yeah, that's why Canelo showed up on the night close to a light heavy weight.

                      That's it .... Floyd tried to make that guy drain down to 152 ....

                      Canelo said "What was the hardest part of my training camp? Trying to make the 152 CW"
