Lol. Just found out canelo wants a catch weight and rehydration clause

[Eff Pandas]

Maybe it's because I grew up in awe of James Toney that I don't understand these diva's arguing over one pound and having catchweights for everything.

Come on you understand these guys arguing & talking specific weight limits. Mfers trying to get max advantage or beyond max advantage. Its all a part of the process.

And like it or not this is how boxing has always worked & its the reason boxing is the only mom & pop caliber sport in boxing. Cuz you can make up the actual rules & regulations of the sport more than you can in any other sport.

Now if someone with some power (another issue in boxing cuz no one has power in boxing, like someone has power in the NFL or NBA) says sh^t should work like x, y & z then fair play on saying that you gotta weigh in at 147 for a title fight or 148 for a non-title fight at WW (like they do in the UFC for example vs just letting people weigh in whatever the two guys agree to among each other). But til then boxing has been & still is up for guys to make up the rules as they have the power & leverage to do so.

I'd much prefer we live in a boxing world where the weight is decided, the ring size is decided, the gloves are decided, the rounds are decided & the money is decided among other most basic of things going into a every single fight a guy has at a certain level in the game. But thats just not how boxing is or has been sit up regardless of how James Toney (a favorite of mine back in the day too) did sh^t.

Of course he did there would of been no fight if he didn't demand it because Manny refused to go up to 154 to fight oscar. None of these guys are being forced to do anything they all agree and sign contracts for large sums of money to fight at these weights. But nobody has used weight to weaken bigger men in the history of the sport then Pacquiao.

The only legitimate man you can make a case canelo might of "drained" with a catchweight would be Chavez Jr. Canelo was at 154 Chavez at 168 difference of 2 full weight classes sperated them and they met at a contract weight of 164.5 with Canelo agreeing to jump up 11.5lbs and Chavez sacrificing 3.5lbs. any pacquiao fan who celebrated all the weights he fought at and guys he beat despite imposing weight restrictions on them and at a time where he refused any drug testing has no right to complain about shyt canelo is doing. LMAO

Oscar wasn’t at 147 for Pac. Oscar was going to rematch Floyd at 147 but Floyd “retired” instead of honoring their agreement.

[GrandpaBernard]

say no to rehydration clauses

[joseph5620]

Oscar wasn’t at 147 for Pac. Oscar was going to rematch Floyd at 147 but Floyd “retired” instead of honoring their agreement.

Yes he was and Oscar never agreed to fight Mayweather at 147.

Oscar wasn’t at 147 for Pac. Oscar was going to rematch Floyd at 147 but Floyd “retired” instead of honoring their agreement.

Stop it Oscar was contemplating to do a catchweight to lure Floyd to giving him a rematch fought at 150 catchweight for Steve Forbes then Floyd retired so the rematch clause couldn't go into effect. Then started talking to Manny team about a fight and they flat out said no fight unless you come to 147, Manny can not and will not go up to 154 they demanded that weight or no dice. It has nothing to do with Floyd who was retired, manny's team is on record saying we would NOT budge on weight. This is like idiots saying well canelo wanted to fight at 152, BS they were forced after Floyd refused to take the fight at 154 and it was the only way to get the fight. GGG would NOT budge on weight and refused to fight Canelo at any lower then 160 then turned around and refused to go to 168 demanding a catchweight to fight ward.

Manny had no problems "draining" Oscar and million other bigger fighters. Matter fact no fighter in history did it more then Manny stop making excuses for what Manny did which is way worse the games he played with weight then Canelo and he did it all while REFUSING to take any drug tests. A Pacquiao fan killing any other fighter for catch weight and weight demands is phuking hilarious, that's what pacquiao made his legend off of.

If I were home on a computer instead of a soccer game with my iPhone I’d post some links but this **** is just history anyone can look up for themselves, it isn’t hard to find.

And Canelo struggled to make 154 yet Floyd didn't care demanded he go down to catchweight 152. Ward struggled to make 168 yet GGG demanded he go to 164 and killed the fight and GGG fans defended GGG's stance when unlike Canelo it was GGG who called out Ward and his entire 168 division...you remember 154 or 168? Signed a contract to fight Chavez Jr at the full 168 but when it came to Ward he ran and to date still has never moved up to 168 hell he made trash Rolls fight himat a catchweight 164 a couple weeks ago lol

It was Ward the called out Golovkin specifically not the other way around. Lovachenko didn't call out Canelo.

[Mooshashi]

Canelo did a catch for Floyd. Bhop did a catch for DLH. Lalonde did a catch with SRL. Cotto did a catch for PAC.

And everyone except for Bhop lost. Which is the point: forcing an opponent down to a weight difficult for them to make is like giving up a goal, a touchdown, 5 baskets or 5 runs before a match. It is a very difficult handicap to overcome, and puts a stain on any victory.

[bigdunny1]

It was Ward the called out Golovkin specifically not the other way around. Lovachenko didn't call out Canelo.

That's a lie remember 154 or 168 so Ward said oh you talking about my weight ok I'll take the fight. They even name dropped Ward while he was side lined with a promoter dispute and couldn't fight. Once ward got out of his contract they name dropped him again and he pulled up and called their bluff said let's make that fight...that's when GGG bytched up refusing to go up 1 weight class demanding a catchweight while months later said not fair to fight Canelo at catchweight you can't make this shyt up. Meanwhile Canelo did what GGG didn't moved up and whooped this boogyman hype job in his own weight class and then moved up to 168 now moving up to light heavyweight while the bytch who screamed catchweights are bad for boxing to delay the canelo fight just fought punk azzz rolls...forcing in to a catchweight. But when he was ducking Ward catchweights we're good and fair because he said I'm the A side not you Ward.

Canelo is the real MR 154 or 168 and has the hardware to prove it while GGG is the flip flopping king of catchweights are good or bad depending on what fight I'm trying to duck at the time to excuse bum fightsi make instead LMAO

[Mammoth]

Who is talking about Golovkin

It's how they deflect every time Canelo gets criticized. I like Canelo but it's getting hard to bother with any threads about him.
