Is there a re-hydration limit for Canelo?

[Chrismart]

That ain't right. Just because Floyd stays the same weight, that's his prerogative. No one told him he has to do that. If anything, given his style, that's probably better than coming in heavier.

P.S. Have you seen Floyd @ 154 (I know he weighs 152)? The guy looks chiseled beyond belief. He doesn't want to put on weight, that's his choice. The same goes for Canelo.

Exactly :ANYWORD:

No, there is no re-hydration clause in the contract or boxing scene headlines would have said so. They are pretty thorough covering details like that. Isn't Canelo fighting for the 154 pound title at 152 bad enough? Canelo is not going to put up with a re-hydration clause. He would have told Floyd to shove it. Elerbe said Canelo can re-hydrate to 200 pounds if he wants to and Floyd will still kick his ass. Canelo has to weigh in at 152 pounds or less. If he gains more than about 10 to 15 pounds max in the 30 to 32 hours between the weigh in and the fight it would do him more harm than good. His true stripped down weight going in to the ring will probably be about 165 pounds and Floyd will probably weigh 10 or 12 pounds less. Those HBO or Showtime fight night weigh ins are not the weight of a boxer in his underpants. They weigh them shortly before they go in the ring and that weight includes boxing gloves, boxing shoes and boxing trunks. That stuff is not weighless. That's why it's called an unofficial weigh in.

The WBC is supposed to have a rule in title fights that a fighter can rehydrate no more than 10%, so that would mean Canelo has to weigh no more than 167.

they never follow that crap as evidenced by the trout fight.

Ive got the chance to meet Floyd and watch him spar. And I can tell you he might not even break 150lbs. He's real small. But your right he seems to be putting on more muscle as he gets older.

He does not need to pin him down. All he has to do is play Ring General.

If Floyd moves around, don't chase him. Stand in the ring and let him to you. How stupid would Floyd look if Canelo wasn't even applying real pressure and he was already on the backfoot.

What he needs to do is fight in the middle of the ring, bend his knees and use his upper body and head movement for defense, as he demonstrated Vs Trout. Lets see what Floyd can do offensively, instead of always getting it done with his defense first because some guy is coming after him head on.

Canelo is no Guerrero.

We know what Floyd is going to do pot shot, move, reset, and repeat.
