Thought that fight was on Oct. 12 so it wouldn't conflict with GBP like last year.

This is the dumb shyt we're going to have to endure now all because of two fukking pounds...
Thats Floyds fault. He crapped on Pacquiao for fighting Cotto at 145, and his fans followed suit. So why shouldn't he get the same treatment? Whats fair is fair right? Its not like anyone forced him to say those things.

If we're just tellin it like it is. then yes. floyd looks like a fool for talking all that shyt about catchweights then fighting at a catchweight. he got on pac for 2 lbs so it's only right he catches some shyt for asking canelo to come down 2 lbs. on the other side, floyd is a character. dude talks shyt just to talk shyt. half the stuff he says he doesn't even mean, so you can't even take it serious. dude has contradicted himself a lot of times in his career. he knows why pac asked for the catchweights. for the same reason he asked for this one. because he knows canelo is a real threat. canelo is young. strong. fast. and big. floyd knows this is gonna be the most dangerous opponent he's faced in a long time...if not, ever. if he can get a little something of an advantage then so be it. it's the same reason he chose not to lose those 2 lbs vs marquez. cause 2 lbs is not easy to lose when you're already going through intense training just to meet the limit for your weight class. for canelo, I don't think it should effect him that much, if at all. but still...floyd can't have it both ways. and floyd fans...I don't understand why you bother arguing about it. you don't have to defend every single little thing. it's OK to admit floyd can be on some bullshyt at times. it doesn't make you any less of a fan.
with that being said, i'm happy as hell. every boxing fan should be. 152 shouldn't make much of a difference. if it was 150 I woulda called it complete bullshyt. but 152....canelo came in 153.5 for trout, so I don't think it will be much of a struggle for him. bottomline, this is the best fight that could have been made right now. so you gotta give floyd his respect. dude is fighting a guy who can legit knock him the fukk out if he makes a mistake(ala mosley 2nd round)....much more dangerous of an opponent than pacquiao ever was.

because this is what everybody kept bytching about and know they have it. Canelo is boogyman right now. Not that this is a bad fight, but it was worth more 8 months later. Negotiations probably were breaking down all around them and Canelo probably couldnt make a deal with Cotto, hence the reason Cotto will no likely face K-9.
in a way I am glad its happening though...now I dont have to wait another 8 months to tell Canelo nuthuggers to go somewhere, sit down, and STFU!
:moneymay:
its really not hypocrisy when you look at the fact that Canelo HAS NO NEGOTIATION POWER WHATSOEVER. To weigh in at 2 lbs under 154....when we know Floyd wont weigh in at no more than 150 is asking nothing of Canelo. Its doing him a damn favor, especially if this joker dont have a post-fight weight limit.
Me personally, I say damn the 2 pounds, let him come in at 154....because nikkas always got sum to say.
So what if Canelo says fukk the 152 and comes in at 154 and just pays the fine 
floyd is going to give canelo a lesson idk why ODLH can't see this
even if canelo connects with some combos he'll be tired for the next 30 seconds and get hit in the face again and again, once the 8th round comes he'll be starched

For Canelo to get gassed like that I think Floyd's gonna have to make him work like Trout did. Trout was really busy. Not "very" effective but he kept Canelo working. Is Floyd going to stay in front of him all night and not respect Canelo's power or does Floyd move all night?
Right now, I favor Floyd to win but the stamina issue I think concerning Canelo won't play as much a factor more than Floyd simply outpointing him.

I said the same thing in the other thread. The fights goin the distance but as a fight spectacle its only good for 6-8 rounds. Then Floyd will jsut pop him off till the final bell
breh breh go watch canelo fight after he lets off those combos he brings his hands back slow and low thats gonna get shoulder rolled and countered all fight
floyd gonna throw 60 punches a round and have 'nelo gassed trust me breh, he's faster than guerrero (made it 3 rounds) and stronger but he's gonna be eating that right all night to the face and stomach
See what you guys are getting caught up in is all this "Floyd's gonna make him look like a clown", "Floyd's gonna dominate him", "Floyd's too skilled for him"
It's not about that.
I'm more excited that Floyd actually took the challenge of fighting someone that can actually be SOME type of threat to him and the fight that fans are clamoring for. For that, I have to give him his props:props:
It's gonna be a great event, a fight that can actually be entertaining, and Floyd should be
'd for taking this fight as a 36 year old fighter.
