Wrong.

Canelo suggested the weight.
No he did not. Why would he voluntarily disadvantage himself? It's like offering to fight with one arm.
Because he was begging for the fight. the World and his wife wanted the Floyd fight then . Canelo has more than learnt his lesson when it comes to being the "A-Side".
Canelo said Floyd insisted that he make the weight, during the pre-fight promotion, so stop making excuses for Floyd.

There are plenty of fighters Floyd avoided that would have been better on his record. It does not necessarily mean he ducked them.

Interesting this back-and-forth. In the end, the only details that really matter are that Floyd shut out and schooled worse than he had ever been schooled. I remember Canelo and his team begging... no... demanding that fight... with their delusions that Canelo belonged in the same ring with Floyd.

Interesting also that when Floyd is asked about his toughest fights, he NEVER mentions Canelo. In fact, he's made it clear that Canelo was a cakewalk. Plus... Canelo was the bigger man. Catchweights or no catchweights.

One of my favorite fights of Floyd, how he shut out and embarrassed Canelo.
