    Mayweather

    He was sitting in a chair for most of the weigh-in because he was so weak and his face looked skeletal.

      I love how people treat Mayweather like he is only a 147lber when he's been 154champ for years. Funny when those same people call Cotto a bitch for not fighting at 160. Like really?

        Floyd had the 154 pound title so if Floyd didn't defend it at the proper weight ,he should have been stripped of the title and Canelo's belt should have not been up for grabs. The only time this catch weight is acceptable is if Floyd held the 147 pound title only and Cannel's title wasn't up for grab cause as far as I know there is no 152 pound title. This was only to make Canelo weak and to fool all these ****** people that don't understand boxing or making weight. This would have been the same if Micheal Spinks made a catch weight of Mike Tyson at 210 pounds knowing Tyson fought at 215 back than than beats him and than you have a bunch of ****** people saying did you see that Spinks beat Tyson but a person brings up the catch weight of 210 and you get the ****** person state wouldn't of mattered if Tyson weighed 210 or 215

          Rather it didn't happen but no point stressing over it.

                So if Mayweather was to fight GGG next year at a catchweight, then GGG wanting to fight 154 now is not relevant anymore, get the hell outta here. Team Mayweather said that team Canelo proposed a catchweight during the negotiations and they took advantage of that, hadn't they done that they would've fought at 154, the fight was big enough for Floyd to move up, it was Canelo and his team who wanted to act all tough, then when they had trouble making weight they started b1tching, why didn't they complain about the weight right after the fight got signed?

                plus Mayweather and Canelo fought at 152, not 150, 2 lbs shouldn't be all that bad for a professional athlete, especially if u r gonna outweigh ur opponent 15+ lbs in the ring anyway, we saw what happened in Porter vs Broner, and Porter came down 3 lbs, he didn't make anything less than 147 since he was 15, Canelo was fighting at 147 in 2010, so using the weight as an excuse is lame, if u r confident enough and u sign that contract, u have no right to make excuses especially if u lost and lost badly.

                  If Canelo or crew thought he'd be dead at that weight, shouldn't have taken the fight. But I stand by my opinion about the catchweight.

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