    Saul looks like he can make 152lb but agree the catchweights are silly and tarnishes his legacy.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I think the big thing is that Floyd was a hypocrite, he bashed Manny for making Cotto come down to a catch weight, then he went ahead and did it himself.

    I would imagine that Floyd put something into the contract to protect himself from Saul coming in over weight. But I would hope Canelo would be honorable and make it.

    If you sign a contract saying you'll fight at a weight, and you don't make the weight, that's shameful and unprofessional. Two wrongs don't make a right. Canelo should take the high road and do the right thing. Mayweather not making weight vs Marquez was shameful.

    I agree 100%. Two wrongs don't make a right. Just because Floyd did wrong, doesn't mean Canelo should follow in his footsteps. If he does, he should be subject to the same criticism.
