Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Pacquiao Worried, I'm Not Weight Drained

[bojangles1987]

Canelo weiged in at 153 for Trout. 1lb north.

And ballooned to 172 on fight night.

Was he weight drained for Trout too?

Check the facts. We'll wait.

Using the exact same logic Pacquiao fans used with Cotto and not even realizing it.

"Cotto weighed 146 against Clottey and only had to lose one pound!"

I'm sure that's different somehow doe.

Floyd can't be serious. WTF!

You mean like Canelo was?

He's referring to the two opponents Pac mentioned. They are keeping their trash talk concise.

[megas30]

People forget that Oscar cherrypicked Pac and picked the 147lb weight to not make it seem like a jr MW was picking on a guy was just recently came up from FW.

That fight only happened as a distraction from Oscar ducking Margarito of all people because he had been looking like a monster during that time.

Not to say Floyd is not a hypocrite, but didn't Canelo proposed the 152 weight?

The weight, by it self, is not really the issue. The issue is the weight loss; if you are already struggling to lose weight, losing even half a pound more will be severely troublesome. It is a fact we know Oscar was struggling severely. Roach said he knew Oscar was done when he saw the IV needle in his hand. With Cotto, I really don't know the detail around that fight other than he didn't have a trainer for the fight and Freddy saying he likes taking a little something from opponents to improve his guy chances.

It is a fact we know Oscar was struggling severely and so did Miguel. Roach said he knew Oscar was done when he saw the IV needle in his hand.

It's also a fact that Cotto did not offer this excuse. It was created by Floyd groupies to discredit Mannys win. Cotto was one of the few boxers that was looking pretty good in the beginning of the fight but Manny was just way to fast. Once he hurt him Cotto ws on survival mode for the rest of the fight.

It's funny everybody says Floyd looked, acted and sounded nervous. Manny looked happy as always. Floyd: "he's worried" Who are you trying to convince Floyd?

Himself. That's who.

No, he wanted it at 154. People try to use the fact that Alvarez claimed he'd fight Mayweather at 150 two years earlier against him, but that was when he first moved up to 154.

He looked okay at 152, but he sure as hell didn't want to fight at the weight.
