Alvarez at 166 a month out

If it's even in the back of Canelos mind that he'll struggle to make the weight, or he's having to spend a good portion of his camp cutting down, he's doomed here. This is a guy who doesn't have the skillset or output to win in the first place imo, he should be spending every ounce of his energy on developing a game plan and then being in peak condition. If he's occupied with the scales even remotely this strikes me as in incredible disadvantage, he's already going into much deeper waters than he's been.

Alvarez takes a lot of time off in fights and it is obvious that this is why. He must take a lot out of himself in those final few weeks just to make weight. His modus operandi is to be bigger than you and hurt you periodically with his size. It's just not going to work against Mayweather though. I can see this being like the DLH fight. Alvarez will start sharp, but Floyd just needs to keep away while he tires and then potshot more as the rounds wear on. It's very predictable and Mayweather is a sly so and so with the CW. If I was Alvarez, I would come in at 154 and pay a penalty and try and impose the only true chance I have. Completely drying up isn't going to help. Plus Mayweather deserves that to happen to him as he likes to do that himself.

Once Canelo moves up to 160 and above, he's going to be one of those lose some/win most type of fighter so he better make the best of it at 154..

He's definitely a tweener.. getting too big for 154 but not big enough for 160. I cant picture this guy beating the likes of Golovkin and QUillin..

Saul is on course to make the contracted weight, he will come in significantly bigger than Floyd which will be an advantage the later the fight goes. Canelo is young undefeated and very hungry to be the next superstar and this fight will be passing the torch from one legend to another.

*I couldn't agree more... Canelo is young..he's 166 a month out, he's 14 pounds over... NO PROB. May is 150..and he's probably eating good to be at 150... i'm alittle old school, to me, u have to be alittle drained to be at ur fighting weight... this shows me that May is truly a 140 pounder... i'm telling anyone that'll listen...

Canelo's beating May ..and nothing here changes my mind.

I think Canelo will stop Floyd if not knock him out cold.

I think its more to do with the fact he can cut so much weight, he is physically able to do it. Like Hatton. He used to be shredded to within an inch of his life on the scales and his face looked like skelator. He really should have been a welter from the start but he took advantage of heing able to cut that weight and was a strong fucker there because come fight night he was able to regain alot of weight and strength back.

If Canelo moves up he also loses that strength advantage. Like Abraham at super middle.
