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

[The Big Dunn]

Point is some of his groupies was praising him about it so don't ignore that part. And now the same groupies is making up excuses to justify his CW request. Canelo is too tall!! lol!!

he deserved praise for beating cotto at 154. thats different than you exaggerating that posters were saying he's a 154lber afterwards. thats simply not true.

again, thats maybe 1 or 2 posters you are arguing with. dont exaggerate to make it seem like more.

Floyd didn't want it at 154 and deserves the ridicule he'll receive from Oscar and everyone else. That catchweight is ridiculous.

LMFAO!!!!!

or he could hold it. not really a big deal. there is no right or wrong thing to do in that instance.

either way if the wba is ok with it why do you care? as a manny fan, integrity of titles has never been of any relevance or importance.

Well maybe he should have dropped it, since it'd spare him a little embarrassment and keep this out of history books. As a current champ about to unify, he really should be fighting at the full weight. Cause remember, we're not talking alphabet trinket and it's not The Champ of all 152ers and blown up, past prime 154ers.

"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.

With all due respect to De La Hoya, the Oscar fight was one of the easiest fights of Floyd's career, and the Canelo fight will be easier. De La Hoya only used his jab for 2 rounds, he was a very easy target as Floyd landed about 60% of his power punches, leaving De La Hoya swinging at air, landing at 20%. I never understood why fans like yourself would lie to yourselves and try to convince yourselves that the Oscar fight was close, it wasn't....at all.

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

Pre-Mayweather signing to fight anyone (He ducking). Post-signing (cherry-picking), post-fight (Opponent was a bum).

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?

You're gonna have to do some fishing, because Floyd never bragged about that, ever.

Typical oscar talk when floyd fights blah blah blah then fight night....hes the best in the world.
Floyd aint insecure about **** its simple...who of all you floyd haters can tell me the last time floyd fought a guy that weighed 170 on fight night....cotto nope...oscar...nope!!!
Anyone who says canelo at 170 wont matter is ******!!!Ask josito!!!
The differance is floyd is fast enough an has the skills to tame his power at 170 but as of every fight there is a chance he can get cought we all saw mosley do it an nelo is wayyy stronger then mosely so its simple floyd said ok gimmie 2 lbs at the weighin ill give u 20 on fight night i say canelo won that issue.
So those still cryin bouta cw.....at least wait till floyd beats him to cry bout it cuz when he does thats gunna b the reason yall floyd haters scream about...2lbs!!!!
Puhhhhhaaaaaa!!!!!!!

I want this fight at 154 as well, but a catchweight of 152 for a guy who comes into the ring at 172 isn't ridiculous. You guy's just seriously want Floyd to fight cruiserweights lol, this fight should've been made at 154, and Canelo shouldn't of been allowed to come in the ring above 165, that would of been perfect, but a 152 catchweight isn't ridiculous.
