Its a tough decision. As an athlete, you want to take on all challenges and Floyd was his challenge. Especially knowing that Floyd has only a few more fights left, you do not want to say no because you may never get that opportunity again. remember that at that point Manny had said no to Floyd's PEDs rules and had not gotten the fight. So Canelo didn't want to take the risk.
That is why:
- Canelo took it even though it drained him.
- Manny Paquiao fighting with an injury.
- Maidana fighting without his preferred gloves
- Diego Corrales took it even though it drained him. Was thinking about doing time in jail and had the flu the week before the fight.
- Hatton moved up 1 division where he never looked good at that division.
- Marquez moved up 3 divisions in about a year.
Like 10 years ago. The guy really is a natural LHW imo who has just been able to squeeze down to SMW. He is'nt making 164 much less 160. Its a straight up pipe dream.
But Ward said recently he'd go down to 160 for Floyd.

That was 2 1/2 years ago and GGG also said he would go to 154 only for Floyd. So whats your point? A lot of fighters are willing to kill themselves in order to fight Floyd. This is'nt breaking news.
