Sounds good when I read about it on yahoo front page but you already know its a Mayweather fight, guaranteed to be BORING and full of defense. He will win by decision. I give him respect, best defensive boxer around. But this is entertainment we're talking about, just like hockey and soccer...BORING.

I don't know how Canelo already has 42 fights under him at that age while Mayweather has a 44-0 record and look how old he is. I was impressed with Canelo Alvarez, he's young and talented but no way he has faced anyone with Mayweathers defense. Everyone from Cotto to Mosley to Ortiz, they just can't deal with not being able to land a good punch on him while he ducks and turns. Eventually they will lose by points. Anyone who buys the fight is an idiot.

If you're a true fan of the sport you wouldn't find floyd boring. it's a bit like saying tim duncan is boring. He's infinitely more entertaining than pacquiao (at least to me). feint-jab-left combo 100x a fight.

Exactly. If all you love are all-out brawls, you are a fan of brawls, not boxing. It is called the sweet science for a reason. The entire point is to hit and not be hit. It isn't, "Let me see if I can hit harder than you... Now, just stand there... Don't move."

I don't get the catchweight but oh well
specially for someone who always said no catchweights, I want to fight guys at their best...

152 is fine. I give Floyd credit for making this fight happen.

I knew there would be a caveat. This is not Mayweather's first catch-weight. It is just his most reasonable one.

[Beatlezz]

is there a rehydration clause in the conntract?

No.

why are we still arguing the details lol...at least both are fighting now

i like boxing, i like brawls.

i also like basketball. i love watching jordan, barkley, kobe, i don't like watching tim duncan, karl malone, john stockton. i like watching the nash-led suns, i don't like the 2004 pistons.

[RedBlackAttack]

oh which were the other ones? I don't remember...
I'm just saying. I remember Floyd saying the doesn't fight at catchweights. but yeah that 2 pounds is not a big deal

Marquez was negotiated at a catchweight.

That's just not ALL I like. That is the point I was trying (and apparently failing) to make.
