Floyd vs. Canelo will mirror Maravilla vs. Chavez Jr in all ways except that 12th round. Still a great job by Floyd of taking the fight the public wanted the most and honestly the biggest challenge he could take at the moment. :salute:

Honestly I can't anybody who understands boxing could have something negative to say about this fight or catch weight. It's at 152, a weight both are okay with and feel comfortable enough to win at. Both fighters stepped up to the challenge so please with the "oh it's not at 154, hes ducking" or " oh it should be at 147, he's the best" BS talk.
Shut up.

Thats not the point though. Floyd slammed Manny for fighting Cotto at 145. "Cotto is actually undefeated, he didn't lose to Pacquiao because he was drained"
Floyd in May of last year
"I look at Miguel Cotto as an undefeated fighter because he faced Pacquiao, but Pacquiao caught him at a catch weight. He wasn't the best Miguel Cotto. He was drained. He wasn't hydrated"

"Manny Pacquiao fights people at catchweights, I want my opponents to be comfortable"

How are you going to be critical of someone else, and do the exact same thing?

Brother, Floyd is the one MAKING this fight. He's a 135-147 legend of these times, he doesn't have to fight ANYONE over 147, but he is. Canelo is the BEST challenge out there for him and Floyd is stepping up. Floyd fighting at 152 should be enough for any SENSIBLE boxing fan. Keep in mind Floyd has everything to lose, Canelo has nothing to lose at all and to MOVE UP and meet someone at a catch weight WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO is what real champs do IMO. Enjoy the fight and stop being caught up on what boxers/promoters say about other boxers because 95% of it is just ish talking. They discredit each other on purpose breh, don't you know this?


Also LOL @ "at that's not the point though". The fight was made.......THAT IS THE POINT.

FOH. Floyd has a belt at 154. Talked shyt about another fighter doing a catchweight and does the exact same thing. I personally don't care about the catchweight, but the hypocrisy of the whole ordeal is completely laughable and everyone who slammed Manny along with Floyd, should be slamming Floyd now too. Instead, you're all gonna ride his nutsack just because.
