Holy F*ck! Floyd Mayweather vs. Canelo Alvarez is signed and sealed for Sept 14th!!!

[ross]

I'm not sure Sulaiman is going to turn down the sanctioning fee for a fight this size. Anybody know if/what the penalty per pound is if the ginger comes in over 152?

I think we're going to see another Floyd masterclass here.

Canelo and his people will throw dollars at it and pull a Mayweather, shoes on the other foot. Kind of why I can't see the belt(s) really being at risk on scale and some serious politicking from wbc and others. I do think they'll strip Canelo though.

You do all realise that the light middle class is ANY WEIGHT between 147 and 154? As long as they dont weigh over 154 it will be for the titles...

They could both weigh in at 148lb and it still be for the title

Not if its a contracted 152 limit eh :x . I don't think Canelo will make weight, the wbc will be stripped shortly regardless.

They could contract at any weight in the limit, if its in the limit the title is still on the line. You dont have to weigh in at 154 on the dot for it to be a valid light middle title fight.

I understand that completely, but if its a "catchweight" capped at 152...likewise Canelo cannot exceed 152...correct?

No one is putting a gun to Alvarez head and forcing him to defend against Mayweather its his choice. He is a light middle so should be able to fight from 148 up. Otherwise he's a middle and needs to move up.

If he's a light middleweight, he just needs to make 154. He doesn't need to be able to make 148. Who in their right mind turns down a fight with Mayweather for two pounds? Who in their right mind turns down Pacquiao for two pounds (Cotto)? What's the harm in losing to him? Canelo could still go to dominate the light middleweight division, and have a stellar career. Cotto lost to Pacquiao and eventually got a Floyd Mayweather fight. It's a win-win for Canelo.

Glad to hear it. Canelo/Cotto would have been an absolute joke fight and Floyd really doesn't have anyone interesting to fight at his weight.

If Canelo can pull off a victory, it would be a HUGE "passing of the torch" moment in boxing IMO.
