Did the Catchweight Affect Canelo during the Mayweather Fight?

[Reginald Ledoux]

does anyone remember canelos walk in at the MGM he looked like a skeleton.

absolutely horrible

i still dont understand why floyd asked for the CW

when the canelo-mayweather fight was being promoted, dela hoya justified the catchweight by saying that canelo will be faster than usual. but on fight night, this so called speed was no where to be seen. he even ran out of gas, allowing mayweather to bully him by the ropes. maybe coz canelo wasn't used to the weight.

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

So he could win He'd fight Glovokin if Glovokin agreed to 147

Of course it affected him.What other reason would floyd ask
for a catchweight?

[sugarsmosley]

wouldnt made much of a difference anyway if it was at 154

Skip to 2:20 listen to what Jones has to say.

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.

[TRTboy]

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.

[UTEP]

I believe it did affect him. Even at the weigh-in I remember seeing someone bring a chair for him. I don't think I ever saw that before and it was a little odd.

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


skip to 1:20 of the vid
