    Yet People rank canelo as one of floyd's biggest wins, when cotto looked his best at 140 and didn't look drained at all against pac.

    Nobody even mentions the fact the floyd weight drained clenelo when he was so clearly weight drained.
    Cotto was asked to come at 146 (1lbs LESS the limit of 147) Canelo knew the handicap too when asking to come in 2 Lbs under the limit at 154.

    If a fighter ACCEPTS a catchweight. They don't make excuses. Neither should fans. Canelo knew what he was getting himself into.

      GrandPac doesn't have the right to enforce catchweight... TBE (not The Best Ever) does...

        Cotto on the other hand didn’t have a choice if he didn’t fight Pac at 145 the WBO was gonna strip him.
        Floyd gave Canelo, "take it or leave it"
        Pac gave Cotto "take it or leave it." both are ***** move.

        But you like to make **** up. Floyd forced Canelo, to want to drain down to 147, but Canelo negotiated to 152, Canelo wanted 154, Floyd gave him an ultimatum. Canelo never had a "choice"

        Cotto had a choice to decline the fight at 145, Canelo had a choice to fight Floyd at 152. Both accepted the risk of it and paid the price.

            It was 146 and he should of stood his ground and let him get stripped clearly he felt he could beat Pac so he fought.

            I still remember ALL the pundits and experts saying Cotto was gonna run over Pacquiao...

            Years later people going to claim he was drained.... f...outta here with the excuses.

              Canelo fought at a catchweight of 155 ever since the 152 draining. Cotto moved up because there was no point in contesting 147.

                Lol this is rich.... you hate Floyd so much that you are actually justifying a sanctioning body breaking its own rules to give a fighter an advantage over another.

                  Canelo was Floyd 1st fight on his new showtime deal when he was guaranteed over 200M he didn't need to fight Canelo he could've rematched Ortiz or fought any of the GBP WW

                  Canelo wanted the Floyd fight which is why he bend over like that had he waited he would've probably got the fight at JrMW limit like Cotto and Oscar

                      I was wrong about the 145 got me there. But he should of sued them for breaking rules like trout is doing, but he was backed into a corner as you know Arum was pushing this.

                      Personally I think cotto was never the same after the Marg beating even at 147 I give it to Pac same with Nelo and Floyd at full weight.
