I really dont know how the 152 came about. Floyds team knew before all of this that Alvarez has weighed close to 152 many times and under 152 several times so if they were really going for some strip down advantage they would have demanded 150 and even that would not have been all that physically demanding since the 23 year old has done it before w/o a catch.

The only advantage I can see is of the mental variety. How that transfers to any physical effect is anyone's guess. Alvarez could easily get it back by showing up and weighing in at 154. What are they going to do, cancel the fight? It could very well backfire. I dont know what it is and cant put my finger on it but Floyd seems a little out of sorts. They just showed a clip of him with a short interview on Aljazeera not one minute ago and he seems off. Btw Broner was standing behind him like he wanted to be his love child.
