Canelo has a huge problem IMO. He looks as fit as he could possibly be(I think) yet he still needs to lose 16 pounds.
I know that fighters dehydrate themselves for a weigh in but how much can Canelo loose with this? 10 pounds? He would still need to lose 6 more pounds and even so, after all those things, Canelo might still need an extra hour after weigh-in to lose a pound or two above the limit.
The fact is that Canelo seems to be outgrowing the 154 division. Canelo is very young so it's obvious this would happen sooner or later. Unfortunately, it's happening now, instead of some other less important fight(like Shane Mosley, for example)
I really hope that Canelo can make the weight and still be able to perform well the next day. It would be huge letdown if the long awaited battle would ruin because of a fighter not reaching a weight healthily.
I think Canelo looks like an actor. He should consider the film business once he learns better english and gets tired of boxing. Assuming he gets tired anytime soon
What if Canelo plans to pull a Mayweather vs Marquez move...not really ever plan to make 152lbs? 14 lbs is a lot in a month.
@money
so if a fighter is weight drained, that means they have no skills? that makes no sense whatsoever. btw, if mayweather had no problem fighting cotto at 154, then why is he fighting canelo at a catchweight? mayweather said he wanted to face a healthy cotto that's why he chose to fight him at his natural weight. i guess that means he was hoping to face a weight drained canelo. based on that pic, it seems like he'll most likely get his wish.
2 pounds dont make a diffrent hes 152 its not like hes 146 hes shedding 2 pounds i shed 2 pounds by using the bathroom, If he has that much skills like people say he would be good if you need pounds to go in a fight then you have no skills
Mayweather should not even be fighting him he is a middleweight Mayweather real weight is 147 in Mayweather went up to 154 to fight Cotto nobody made a big deal with that, Ortiz was 166 when he came in to fight mayweather in Mayweather destroyed him thats what you call skills.
This is what I'm talking about. Canelo is already skinny at 166. At 152 he will be boney.lol
Its a pity the kid needs to starve his azz just to get a fight with Fraud.
Not really worried about a boxers looks as I'm more concerned with whether or not they can fight
