Comments Thread For: Roach: Cotto Will Be 159/160 and Canelo Will Be 175

[Progrssive_Jedi]

Canelo going to be 169. Cotto 162

Doubt it, he'll be 170-175

GGG not ready for Ward. Kept ducking Ward. So Ward moved up in weight.

Try again

canelo will be fine, hes never missed weight and hes never had to weigh in a second time as far as i remember. hes been fighting at 155 for a while, if they were sure they coudlnt make 155, they would have pushed for a higher weight, he has enough bargaining power to get it.

Never missed weight?

Jesus, there's a lot of hate on these forums, Trout, Williams, Angulo, Kirkland and a ton of other guys get in the ring @170+ yet you only like to trash Canelo.

Kid has fought the most dangerous guys when nobody dares to do it and you bash him.

Listen Canelo vs GGG will happen next year, stop with the bull**** hating.

You listen to the guy talk, hi, a De La Hoya seem content on trying to wait until GGG gets old.

Cotto will be faster fresher fighter

Roach making excuses already

Last time Alvarez made the super welterweight limit of 154 was over two years ago, when he fought Mayweather in September, 2013. He has been over in all three fights since then (Angulo, Lara and Kirkland).

Where's icha?

Some fanboys will dismiss by saying "its just rumors." The boxing world is really small and a lot of things get around.

Canelo can fight at 154 doe.
Canelo isn't drained doe.
Canelo doesn't need catchweights doe.

im here bro..
we are just hours away from the weigh in, we will find out if canelo struggles at the scale, or even if he makes weight but drained then we will find out during the fight, im sure cotto will make him pay if this is true, cotto goes hard at the body and there is no way a drained fighter can survive that...
i saw the video of canelo shadow boxing where he seems thin, but one thing many didnt notice is that he wasnt wearing clothes other than the pants of course, if he has weight problems he should be using a sauna suit or tons of sweaters 24/7...

Las Vegas - Trainer Freddie Roach believes Saul "Canelo" Alvarez is struggling to make the catch-weight limit of 155-pounds for Saturday's fight with Miguel Cotto at the Mandalay Bay.

"you weighed in 6 hours before a fight and now you have 24 hours."

WOW that's a HUGE difference! The six-hours rule sounds more fair than the 24-hour one, if what this guy says is true, can anyone please tell me who is responsible for such nasty change in the rules, when this happened and if all the boxing organizations use this same 24-hour time period nowadays? And most importantly, WHY did they make such a drastic change in weighing rules?

Ward already went up to try and fight Kovalev.

This is a really weird statement from Roach.
This is originally MW championship bout which should be at 160lbs but negotiated (most probably by Cotto) at a very low 155lbs.

So Roach saying Canelo is struggling to make weight is like saying they are not fighting the best Canelo there is right? Why would they like people to know that. If Cotto wins, we can all dismiss it as an impressive win because Canelo is drained, right?

The he tries to make the 175lbs fight night weight prediction to what???

[-Kev-]

160 sounds too low. I think 163, around there, sounds more accurate for Cotto.

Anyone know Cotto's fight night weight for Martinez and Geale?

[i'm a fun haver]

Cotto should've requested a re hydration clause
