Mayweather Jr. vs Alvarez 152lbs September 14th

mayweather jr is no 40 hyna

 

Yeah, Alvarez is gonna come in there with a fucking huge weight advantage. It's not a surprise when Floyd just maintains weight in those 24 hours.

This fight has plenty of story lines and will make for great pre-fight theater. I just see it as, if Canelo is slightly better than Cotto was, he still loses 115-113 in a valiant effort.

 

I fear we will be treated to Functional Weight Advantage nonsense on fight night.

 

what do you call it when one guy weighs 15 to 20 pounds more, fuckface?

 

No, I wouldn't call it "fuckface", I would call it "heavier".

 

Floyd Mayweather and Canelo Alvarez will fight on September 14th, 2013, at a catchweight of 152 pounds.

 

So if I agree with what a fighter has done regardless of what fighter it is I am therefor a fanboy? It seems you just hate mayweather and if someone posts something not in agreement with you they are labeled fanboys... And the concession mayweather would be making is that on the night of the fight he would have a HUGE weight disadvantage. SOOO by having Alvarez lose a few extra pounds the night of the weigh in he can mitigate that as much as possible. I dont care about belts because anymore they dont really mean shit..so im not worried about who goes where for what belt, I care more about the evenness of the fight come fight night so the person with the better skills wins.

 

I agree in most part with what your saying other than the beginning where you said if he wants to fight junior middleweights thats what he gets. I dont think Mayweather wants to fight junior middleweights at all but is sort of backed into a corner because of his previous fight and his deal with showtime. SOO if hes forced to do a fight he might not want to take because of the obvious weight disadvantage hes going to do as much as he can to get Alvarezs weight down and i dont hold it against him.

When dealing with Irish, you have to remember his head is up his ass. He doesn't really care or know anything about boxing, he mostly just views it as another battleground for ethnic supremacy. Keep in mind, this is the same guy who, while denying Canelo et al have functional weight advantages over Floyd, tried to pass off the idea of Danny Williams having had a functional weight advantage over the undersized underdog Vitali Klitschko, who somehow still triumphed despite all odds.

 

You were fine with Pac's catchweights, you should be fine with Floyd's. I'm not ok with either.

 

Best post of the thread.

:: "functional weight advantages"............you said it :atu:

Stick to facts, Radio Raheem. I never said Williams had any advantages over Klitschko, I said he was heavier and smaller. His mass helped him take a beating, thats about it, and it's about as much advantage as Canelo will have over Floyd, the one major major difference here being that Canelo will first be obliged to boil down before he gets to go back up.

 

You're an idiot. Williams lifts weights and probably eats 10k calories a day to hit 270, bulked up weightlifter muscle isn't going to help you in the ring or provide any sort of "size advantage," especially against a naturally bigger/longer guy (Vitali). You're comparing that to a naturally bigger man in a separate weight division. Think for a second about what a dumbass you are. Your thought process & expeession are reminiscent of a high school literary magazine editor who thinks she's clever. Lots of inane wordplay, paired with Terri Schiavo's reasoning ability.

 

Oh yeah, throw in a healthy dose of jingoism & triibalism.. Two things that tend to go hand in hand with being a moron like Irish.

 

Attempts to pigeonhole Irish along straightforward lines like that are gonna be confounded by him saying something that totally contradicts it within a week. Trust me, I tried to do it for years.

 

pretty much::

 

Now that is interesting. First off, insulting that poor creature is wholly inappropriate. Secondly, I googled her today for the first time in a long time. Pure coincidence I suppose.

Mass, according to the laws of physiques, requires energy over time to be moved. Greater mass would therefore require more energy over {more} time to be moved. Williams bulked up to give himself a chance. It proved futile. Mass, functional or otherwise, with all other things being equal, is not worth a jot.

Canelo will come in bigger because he is slightly bigger but he will have to boildown first, now you should ask yourself if the extra mass on fight night is really all that "functional" if he first had to hurt himself to make the 152 limit. We know, as you yourself admit, that mass really isn't worth a damn. Now tell me, how much is it worth if he had to hurt himself first?

If a slowly-acquired bulk and strength, {which does not need to be shed-rapidly-regained by the stipulations of a weigh-in} is of no use when fighting a superior-talented opponent, then what use can size or mass which is gained rapidly overnight having been shorn off in the preceding weeks and months by an artificial and unilaterally imposed weight clause????

 

The point being of course that it's not me being evasive, its me being me. I cannot be pigeonholed. Loadedgloves comes in with his hands down throwing the usual "clever wordplay" nonsense. I don't know where he gets it from. Alvarez will be forced to boil down before he is allowed to come back up, It is yet another major fight that has attendant upon it some controversial stipulation or condition, which we really could do without.

 

I see your lot are still upset over the Seth Mitchell fight then......

 

Absolutely. He will say pretty much anything to have the last word, no matter how off-topic or contradictory.

 

:: that is not what he meant.

 

I already said it doesn't bother me.

 

poor alvarez has to boil down. :atu:

he can always fight andre ward instead, if he wants to be like mayweather jr and fight at his walk around weight.

 

Mayweather has a belt in Canelo's weight class. What is he doing fighting at 154 if he's so tiny? Oh that's right, cherry picking a shot Cotto.

 

C'mon....

 

cotto is shot but alvarez is some great challenge? because he won a few more rounds vs trout?

 

Cotto was pretty much the best fight available except Pac. Nobody was moaning about Floyd cherry picking at the time

 

alvarez was angling to face that same allegedly shot cotto, and i bet he still ends up fighting him at some point within the next 18 months
