Less than 2 weeks until possibly the biggest fight since Mayweather-Oscar.

I hope I'm wrong because I think an upset would create a lot of positive buzz for boxing.
Canelo seems to me to be as lively an opponent as Mayweather has faced for quite some time. The probability of Mayweather winning is probably as low as 0.75!

He's a young guy, he was 153 in his last fight, 152 shouldn't be a problem. Time will tell but I doubt it.

Originally posted by Scott9945 View PostI believe that the effects will be more psychological with the brutal desert heat and by far his biggest fight ever. When I saw a pic of Alvarez recently in the mid 160's he looked fighting fit already. Hopefully he's got the right people to help him take off that weight.
That's his fight weight. That's what he rehydrates to.
He'll be the same fight night against Mayweather.
I think he'll be fine at 152. He's been lower than 152 in recent years. A lb less than his last fight shouldn't be too big an issue.

Floyd put that clause in for a reason. I really hope that Alvarez screws him and misses weight like what Mayweather did to Marquez..

He might not have been under 152 but he's been at 152.
Floyd put in the clause because of the size disparity which is incredibly vast.
