      SRL said by agreeing to mayweather's catchweight condition, that already gave him the psychological edge even before the first bell rang.

      your thoughts?
      Catchweights effect the bigger man why do you think Floyd ask for it ? I bet if you make a 10 by 10 foot Ring and let Canelo weigh what ever he wants say 160 I bet he knocks Floyd out . But put a 24 by 24 foot Ring for Floyd drain Canelo to 152 Floyd wins hands down So does this mean Floyd can beat him in a real fight No but handicap Canelo by larger ring and bring his weight to unsafe conditions and now it's in Floyd favor

          for a catchweight?

              Damn! at 2:20 he admits that the whole "Money Team" saw how drained he was and that he killed himself to make weight yet the Floyd fans here in NSB still don't believe it I guess NSB Floyd fans know more than the "Money Team".

                It would have somewhat, but not enough to make a major difference.

                  Canelo's team was the problem. They had canelo ****ing boxing with mayweather instead of using his size and strength and made it a brawl.

                    I think it bothered him, but I don't think the outcome of the fight would be any different. It may have been closer though.

                      You're not the only one that noticed that, Andre Ward did too.
