How do you feel about Floyd Mayweather's catch weight for Canelo Alvarez?

[The Big Dunn]

Didn't like it. Canelo looked terrible at the weigh-in.

Freedom heavily criticised Mayweather for imposing the catchweight yet is fully behind Golovkin demanding a catchweight for Ward.

Deflection thread.

We can pretty much end the thread here.

Freedom has decided that since GGG is doing the exact thing he heavily criticized Floyd for that he wants to discuss something Floyd did 2 years old rather than discuss what GGG is doing now.

It's always refreshing when NSB's heroes let their fans down.

[SplitSecond]

Pretty shameful considering he's fought at the full weight twice before and his last time there was talking about how he likes the opponent comfortable and not drained etc.

The better question is "How do you feel about GGG trying to fight Ward at a catchweight?"

I don't agree with catch weights.

The fight should be at 160, since Golovkin is the A side and Ward can't draw flies.

Why won't Kellerman ask Ward if he'll fight GGG at 160, like he asked Dawson if he'd fight Ward at 168? Why does the diva Ward get special treatment, when he doesn't deserve it?

Because HBO doesn't want any of its announcers even bringing up Ward V GGG because (IMO) they think GGG loses to Ward.

So should ward v Kov be at 168?

Probably because Ward hasn't said for years that he can make 160 no problem like Dawson said he could make 168. Did Max actually ask Dawson or did Dawson just say himself in the interview that he wanted to fight Ward and they could do it at 168?

No, it should be at 175 because Kovalev is the A side, a MUCH more exciting fighter who has three world titles.

Kellerman asked Dawson.

Kellerman set him up - asked him something he couldn't say "no" to in front of the TV audience.

If Kovalev is the A side then why did he fight Hopkins for 500K? Heck Rodriguez made more than that fighting Ward.

i would have preferred it to be at the full jr middle limit, but i don't think the 2 lbs affected canelo's performance

Hmm, for some reason I don't believe you, as you have an agenda. Unfortunately, I'm at work and can't look this up on my hard drive of fights. I'll revisit this thread once I get home and can look for it myself.
