He's doing the exact same thing he chastised Pacquiao for doing with Cotto. There is literally no difference. He is a hypocrite. If he can't fight Canelo at Canelo's own weight, that's his bad. The funny thing he is that he fought Cotto at 154 without a catchweight, but he wanted a catchweight for Canelo. What does that tell you?

    That he's got a lot of pull, and respects Canelo as a threat. He's looked slower at 154 in both of his fights there imo, Canelo didn't complain about dropping 2 pounds, whats the problem? This way Floyd can weigh in just above welter while Canelo might not be able to rehydrate quite as easily and dwarf him, it makes for the best fight between the two. That's what catchweights are for after all.
    Massive risk for floyd at any weight above 147. Leonard saying one thing and canelo team saying another.

    Both sides are guilty as they both signed to fight at 152.

    Floyds punches nearly knocked out a tired cotto but that was at the end of the fight so they do have some effect over time.

    Another question is if cotto is a better fighter than canelo or how the fight would go down if they fought each other..cotto might surprise us all.
    Canelo did complain about the weight, but even if he didn't, it would be due to the massive amount of money he is going to make, not because he would prefer to fight at 152.

    Mayweather wanted the catchweight AFTER he had said he didn't believe in catchweights on multiple occasions. @imp - even you, the most diehard Floyd fan on Saddo, have to acknowledge that Floyd is a hypocrite for the catchweight in this fight. Right?
    I wouldnt say im the most diehard fan but thanks anyway if theres any compliment in that!?

    Im like any other fan that has a general interest in boxing but certainly havent got as much knowledge as some of the other posters on here. (Not inc VD)

    In answer to your question...

    Yes, he is a f@cking hypocrite for saying that crap!

    Floyd's manager is blaming Canelo's management for offering the 2lb difference and said they made the mistake of offering it. I think Floyd s team should not have accepted if they thought it would make no difference to the fight, but they must think it does.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I agree and at the very least totally eliminated for title fights.
    Catchweights are the fairest thing in boxing, both fighters have to agree, there's no excuses. It would be better if we got rid of all titles and weightclasses so every fight was made at a catchweight.

    Lol sure why not. We could increase the divisions from 17 to 34 overnight and onward from there effectively eliminating all divisions.

    I was going to cool click that but you dont need anymore

    That's a sticking point for me also whether I think the 2 pounds makes any difference or not. Floyd should have refused it.

    He should have dragged him down to 150.

    Surely we must agree that floyd should have all the advantages against this guy.?!

    Canelo is getting the highest payday of his life.

    Make the weight.

    Beat floyd.

    Your a superstar.

    Do you really care, as a fan, whether or not a "title" is on the line? There are virtually no genuine "world" champions in any weightclass. I just want to see the best possible fights, if they have to happen at catchweights that's fine by me. At least I know BOTH fighters were in agreement

    That solid gold belt the winner gets is pretty cool.

    No not really. My boxing Utopia has 8 weight classes with one trophy for each weight class or one recognized champion. Failing that if there is to be 17 divisions and belts then there should be one belt per division not 10 and no further watering down by way of catch weights.
