Canelo and his coach have said over and over that making 152 was no problem even after fight. So ill take their word for it esp when they could easily use it as an excuse. Also Canelo made 54 for another 3-4 yrs which just adds to what he himself has said. Don't make up excuses for fighters that don't believe in them themselves.
Canelo moved to Caneloweight after being weight abused by Floyd. He only fought once at 154 after that fight, that was against the very unthreatening Beefy Smith.
Canelo was never okay with the catchweight, he has denied that more than once.Comment

There is a lot wrong with your post if you don't mind my saying.

That's BS Canelo and his coach have said MANY times that making 52 was no prob, show me something different? Also Canelo weight was just 155 and that had NOTHING to do with weight and more to do with the fee's from the alpha bit boys(he has said this too). Then after making 55 for a few fights he had no prob going back down a pd to face Smith. He looked just fine vs Smith and the fact you don't think much of Smith has nothing to do with it. He was experienced at 22 because he started at 15, but his body was still one of a 22yr old.Quit making sh it up to further your agenda.If Floyd REALLY wanted an edge he would have asked for 150, and because of money Canelo and GBP would have took it(then you would have something to bit ch about). He was only a few fights from making 147 at time of Floyd fight.
Floyd did ask for 150 in fact he first asked for 147.
"when the (fight) negotiations started, they wanted me to go to 147. I said that's physically impossible. I couldn't do it. Then they inched up to 150. I said I can't do it, that's impossible. Those days are over. I can't make that weight anymore, I've grown.
"Then they went up to 151. And then finally, so we could make the fight, I said, 'If anything, I'll give up two pounds. I'll go up to 152. I agreed to that. Then they tried to force me to be quiet and not to mention anything that they came up with the weight of 152."
My agenda is that I hate A-side fighters handicapping their opponents. I didn't like it when Floyd did it or when Pac did it but Canelo has taken it to a new level.Comment

There are no special fees avoided by fighting at 155 instead of 154.
Floyd did ask for 150 in fact he first asked for 147.

canelos own words..
“To make the fight I had to give a little, he had to give a little, too,” Alvarez said at the time. “I feel it was fair, and both sides are happy. He fought [with a contract weight of] 154 before, but he wanted the [catch weight] and I accepted it. He gave a little, I gave a little, and we got the fight done.
“I've been able to make the weight in the past without a problem,” Alvarez said. “In fact, in my most recent fights I've been under on the day of the weigh-in. I really don't do that much work, so I think that it's going to be fine. I feel very, very good right now, and in fact, I think it's going to help me. I'm going to be a lot faster.”Comment

Canelo weighed in before the fight at 165 about a full weight class under his normal fight weight.Comment
