    He pulled some gay Manny Pacquaio catchweight bullshiiit.
    Don't forget Mayweather own words "i dont get into something where i think i will lose"

    Every fight he made sure the odds were stacked in his favor.

      Since then Canelo has increased and improved his PED programs, to increase his punch resistance, speed and power.

      Canelo definitely has the best PEDs in the business since Evan Fields
      Everyone is likely on some sort of PED lets be real.

        regardless of what canelo does in his career, you'd be reluctant to rank that canelo win as one of mayweather's top 5 wins (and canelo is in position right now to be a top 5 mayweather opponent when everything is said and done).
        canelo was actually in the p4p top 10 when they fought

          Because it is Mayweather. Most people have a kind of blind hatred for the guy. So, they never give him credit for anything.

              canelo was a 21 year old who struggled against trout before he fought floyd. also floyd drained him down. canelo had to take a seat during the weigh-in because it was clear he was so dehydrated. truth.

                  everyone has an opinion and I am not saying if it was wrong or right..just saying he was on the p4p list when they fought

                    or in other words you are outsourcing your own personal analysis to others because its just easier to say "he was on the p4p list" without actually asking wait why?

                      Canelo looked like a skeleton at the weigh in and was so drained that he was sitting the entire event and didn't stand up and only stand up when he poses for weighing in.

                      Mayweather wanted it at 147 but the gb team declined saying it was too much and Mayweather settled in a 150 or pullout offer and Gb said that 152 is the best that they could and even said that the weight still drains canelo.
