Rumors: Canelo at 170 and Not Training Properly

[IMDAZED]

Of course he'd fight Cotto -- that's probably the only "middleweight" he'd fight and they'd do it at a catchweight of 156/7.

[Resilient]

Not sure how true this is but we shouldn't disregard the rest of that article where it says he's pulling a Chavez Jr.

15 lbs in 10 days? Is the norm like 1 pound per day?

So he's off by 15 pounds with 3 day to go til fight night???? He's asking for trouble if this is true. Lara is gonna try and beat the piss outta him. He better be taking this **** seriously.

15 pounds is not as big a deal as you think, lightweights routinely rehydrate up to 15 pounds come fight night...

He just needs to restrict his sodium intake, lose maybe 2lbs of fat and dehydrate the rest of the weight off.

Not a good look for Canelo if true, hes gonna be drained and will gas out in the later rounds

[Beercules]

What did Chavez Jr come in and lay out a training regimen for Canelo?

I hope this isn't true for his sake. Lara looks to be in great shape

[V.WEBB]

All I'll say is, LARA better 11-1, 12-0, or knock Canelo out. I won't be satisfied with anything else. What's my basis? The non stop talk about how Lara would whoop Canelo for the last 2 years.

[brick wall]

So why won't he go to middleweight when him last 2 fights have been at middleweight?

because he might rematch floyd at 152.5 so he has to keep his weight low

[Beercules]

He always gasses by like 5 or 6, especially since Lara has good foot work he will tire faster

[GhostBlade]

These rumors are ridiculous. Canelo knows how to train and put off the weight. Besides the Mayweather fight, this is the biggest fight of his career. This is the fight that will prove if Canelo is the real deal. Slacking off isn't a good idea and maybe these rumors are just a way to get Canelo off his game.

The fight is the 12th fool! 10 days not 3. Lol

Lara might KO him if this is true

Depends. If this is true and he makes weight then possible. But if he doesn't make the weight and says **** it then no.

Heck, the norm for a lot of boxers is 10 pounds in one day.

What?! That doesn't sound normal or healthy.

he'd look to hit and maintain a certain weight for the week of the fight, which will involve eating light and running. as the weigh in approaches, he'd skip a few meals / eat light, limit his water intake, and perhaps even jump on a treadmill with a sweat suit on the actual day of the weigh in.

Yea but 15 lbs in 10 days? Not to mention he's no little guy. A lot of ( fake ) muscles.

that's what i don't get

there's also a possible fight with cotto. i think that fight does 5-600K buys, which would be a huge success.

You don't think it would do higher? I guess after the Angulo and Martinez fight they should take whatever they can get above 500k.

[WesleySnipes]

Canelo took the fight to shut Lara up and showing his fans he is ducking nobody, this is his first fight that is kind of personal, no way in hell that BS is true (the not take it seriously part)...its coming from some random mexican Canelo-nuthugger that knows that Canelos chances to win are not that big how some people wish they are, so these people can take this as an excuse.
