    I dont really agree with the Cinnabon run nor Floyds.
    I mean, I'm not saying C.Hernandez is an exceptional fighter. He's not.

    But is he a good fighter? Absolutely. Like I said, he was consistently a top contender during the majority of the first half of the last decade at 130 and a reigning Champion for a short span aswell.

    The only guy to really dominate him in that time frame was G.Hernandez. Floyd had one hand and obviously that goes into account and Morales did win comfortably but he gave both problems in their fights.

    Like I said I'm not saying it's a great win but I don't see how if the likes of Angulo and Trout are murderer's row then how can Famoso not be included in that run?

      At first the hater's accuse Canelo of "ducking" Lara (he's afraid of Lara BUT fought Floyd? LOL) and make the bold proclamation that "he'll never fight Lara".

      Then once the fight get's made they think a 1lb or 2lb difference is somehow a MASSIVE advantage and gives Canelo the clear edge not knowing that both guys on fight night will weigh about the same, high 160's low 170's.
      so one pound or two for ginger he is drained, but for other boxers is not? and check Laras last 4 or 5 fights specially the one with perro and tell how many lbs he went up, imo the weight will not be an issue ginger will get pummeled anyway

        Doesn't surprise me one bit, Canelo can't make 154 anymore.

          That's how much he weighed in the day of the Angulo fight though. Everyone claims he had a rehydration clause.He must be bigger than that come fight night without a rehydration clause.

            the commonality is the size. the other one is the billing. both are big, big guys. jr is a cruiserweight, and canelo is a middleweight. JR doesn't have the work ethic that alvarez does.

              he's a middleweight now. this is an odd move for goldenboy, to be honest. they're in a tough spot. alvarez won't be a great middleweight.

                Yeah, and what if they impose Lara another rehydration clause? That would be way worse than a 155 lbs catchweight.

                  he was told personally that couldn't go over ten pounds at the next day weight in while perro weighted 174-75,

                    So then Lara usually rehydrates up in the high 60's? Otherwise that rehydration excuse sounds even more ridiculous if he usually comes in at 164 anyways.
