Next to Floyd (and maybe Mikey), I think GGG has the most educated jab in boxing. Its why he beat Danny and why Canelo will have some serious issues. Unless Canelo is faster/sharper than i think he is, it'll be a long night imo.

Only a fanboy trying to score points would refer to it as an excuse.Last edited by kafkod; 08-09-2017, 12:09 PM.

and no, floyd wanted 147 at first. then floyd offer 150 and finally they agreed on 152. canelo's team was told to keep this private about floyd wanting canelo at 147.

“I’m the bigger guy, why would I give up weight?” Canelo said. “You want to know what happened? They wanted to fight at welterweight. I told them, ‘No way, those days are over for me.’ Then they said let’s do the fight at 150. I said I couldn’t do that. Then 151. To make this fight happen I said I would give up two pounds. Then we finally agreed on 152," Canelo said.
The Mexican star further claimed that Mayweather and his team tried to keep him quiet regarding the "catch-weight" negotiations.
"They tried to keep us quiet. They told us not to speak with the media. They told us not to disclose anything and we were fine with that. The reason why we are talking about the weight today is because they called us idiots and said we wanted the catch-weight, they are lying," said Canelo, who weighs around 153 to 154-pounds as of Tuesday.
Floyd Mayweather’s father Floyd Sr. said that if WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez wants a fight against Floyd Jr. in September then he’s going to have to come in at 147 lbs at the weigh-in the day before the fight.
