    Gatti did make weight, this is unprofessional from Canelo. lost respect for him a bit here. Saul is too small for middleweight. He better get his motivation to get in condition and make weight, otherwise he will not be the golden boy.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Boxing is slowly climbing into the reality tv genre with the weight bullshit in almost every big fight. Its beyond pathetic. They should just add another 17 divisions.

    Btw Alvarez was never fined. The contract read "154 plus one" which is unbelievable in and of itself.

    Its def more of a theatrical soap opera. Sometimes I feel like I'm looking at a room of crying toddlers when they start in with the .0001/4 lb silly shat. 154+1 ffs...sounds like something my nephew would say when asked how old he is while holding up one hand and saying "I'm this many". At 23 years old you should be able to burn a lb as some after thought. Big fooking baby.

    Didn't Alvarez do this in the Hatton fight also in some other catchweight bs

    That news to me, I thought he was definitely fined for the pound.

    That means we're arguing about nothing because he did not come in overweight if the contract said plus one.

    Gatti notoriously came in overweight... very much overweight. Check the Gamache fight and the fight before that and you will see how he over did it....
    Bigger man George, bigger punch!

    Very true.. gatti was known for coming in overweight but he rarely got criticized just because he was Gatti, the blood and guts warrior.

    What he did against Gamache was straight up criminal and he should have been charged for it..

    How can anybody shit on chavez and not do the same to gatti? Smh

    Fuckin double standards in boxing.

    Will Canelo move to 160 after this fight?

    Canelo is a tweener so he's stuck in a bad place right now..

    Can u imagine him competing against the likes of GGfake and Quillin? I cant.. at best, he can beat stevens but even that is no guarantee imo..

    Canelo can for sure beat rosado though since he sucks but that's about it..

    Mayhe gbp will attempt to establish a new weight division in honor of canelo.. like 157 lol...

    i agree. i dont think that canelo could step it up against the top fighters at 160. he is fortunate that 154 never had anyone that good in it and that he rarely fought anybody who was actually in that weight class.
