Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Mayweather Insecure, Catchweight Won't Help

Canelo will become a bum soon. Its starting already. Subtle hints dropped of whats to come.

he young doe.

How's it not even close? Floyd is a 2x champ at 154, his 5th division, he is the current WBA Super champ. How should know if he can handle the weight by now.

Pac asks for a CW moving up to his 7th and 8th division. Can handle, defends at full weight. Can't handle, drops the belt on the spot, doesn't crow about being #1 in the division he knows he's too small for.

having a catch weight for one fight that makes complete sense whether you want to admit it or not is nothing close to how pac does business. pac literally every fight has a fighter come up or down in weight or has a catch weight. usually the fighter has never fought at the weight ever not even once or twice. if you really think that mayweather fights one fight at catch weight against a guy thats gonna come in weighing 20 pounds more then him anyway on fight night is even similar to what pac does then your lying to yourself

"I have a feeling that De La Hoya wants to to stick his polla in Canelos culo"

WHY? Because he is a HOF'mer who knows the sport of boxing? Your comment shows that you are a hater. PERIOD. Oscar did nothing but fight the best in his career and left no questions about his HOF status. I BET Canelo will come close to winning the fight against Floyd and Oscar will have a BIG part in that because we all know that Floyd wouldn't have beaten him if he had anything left. And still then, Floyd struggled to get the W.

according to you and one blind judge. come on man that fight wasnt that close.

It's funny that everyone forgets that Canelo and his team called out Floyd and said they'll do it at 150. Canelo fought at 147 until 2010, 152 should be easy unless he is having trouble with 154, which I've never heard.

It's even funnier that people (mainly DLH) claims that fight between Mayweather and DLH was close and he was a steady jab away from winning the fight. Oscar is sooooo butt hurt still from losing to Floyd, it's a bit embarrissing at this point. Everyone he fights is going to beat him and the dude even coaches people up until its time for them to get beat up.

Also, Canelo is 5'8" for dammit sake. Someone called him a CW, thats stretching it. Canelo is thick but he's short. He better top out at MW.

Hope you guys don't let de la hoya to give ya false hope. Alvared and beating floyd mayweather.

[Frank Ducketts]

There is nothing that Canelo can do against Floyd except hope that Floyd is old. If and I mean if Canelo can sustain his attack for 12...then Canelo has a chance. If Canelo fights Floyd the way that he fought Trout, he won't beat Floyd.

floyd is the lineal ww champ. he won a title at 154 over a year ago. the wba wont strip him because they wanted the sanctioning fee for this fight. when did you hear floyd say he's the best JMW in the world?

you're mad the wba is making huge exceptions for floyd and they dont for anyone else. fine. but dont act like he's campaiging at 154 just to try and make an rgument what he is doing is worse thanwinning titles at cw. its not.

Manny dropped the belt because that was the deal bob negotiated with the wbo-agree to let 2 people who were a combined 1-1-1 at 154 lbs fight at 151 for the title, get a fee, manny will drop belt immediately if he wins.

You don't sit on a belt for 1+ years if no intention to defend. Floyd just recently claimed he would defend his 154 belt. Didn't mention the CW at the time. I don't feel like fishing for links, but you're telling me you never saw him boast about being 2x and #1 at 154?

[Cinci Champ]

all this talk is about is a way to discredit mayweather if and when he beats canelo. i know it u know it everyone knows it thats all this catch weight crap talk is about its just a set up to discredit mayweather on a huge win period

Pac has had 3 CWs, Floyd 2 (one he failed to respect). Pac went 6 classes with 0 CWs, Floyd could only manage 4. Floyd is fighting for more belts in 1 Mega CW fight than Pac his entire career. That includes the Lineal belt, at a Catchweight.
