    Good post. And Canelo fans will "see" your 4 excuses, and raise you one or two more.

    Thanks man

    And yea, its sad that people can come to be a biased fan of one man in a sport of numerous talents. Love the sport, not one combatant, thats absurd!

    If mayweather loses his 0 , so be it. It will bring more drama and a rematch anyway. Lol

    Some people will always look to discredit wins and find excuses when none are there. Even if it was at 154, some would say that Canelo has already outgrown the weight and should be fighting at 160. He could have another few big victories behind him but people would say they were no preparation for Floyd (always a good excuse since there's no other fighter who has a comparable style married with his skill level). These fighters could also be retroactively be described as bums - they lost to Canelo, so they must be!

    Unless Canelo comes into the ring looking like Oscar v Pac, Floyd will get lots of credit for beating him, especially if it's decisive. The people who won't give him credit would never give him any under any circumstances anyway.

    ^ Good post. It's worth mentioning that Canelo offered to meet him at 152 as well, Floyd didn't demand a catch weight and it was never a point of contention in negotiating.

    From what I've seen the majority of posters here think that Floyd will beat Canelo and have called the fight weeks ago with the reason being that Canelo just isn't good enough.

    The catch-weight is there cuz of Floyd Mayweather. He's the one who wanted a catch-weight. Cotto is fine at 154. But not Alvarez? Come on now

    Alvarez never had a problem with it though, this fight was made quickly and easily. Floyd clearly has no reason to fight above 147, both of his fights at 154 he's weighed in comfortably under that and looked slower than he ever has, what the hell is the point from his perspective.

    Floyd said there was no fight at 154.
