    167 in that picture? I really don't believe that at all!

    Agsinst trout he was 166 30 days out and still weighed in at 153.5, so is isn't that far off anyway.

    I don't believe it. It wouldn't surprise me at all if it's a deliberate ploy to maybe make the PBF camp believe that he's gonna' really struggle hard to get to 152 lbs. In that foto he looks ready to fight. Toned and in very good shape. Now, knowing that he's a 154 lb fighter I would say he's between 156-160 lbs in that foto. No way he's 15 lbs above what PBF wants him at.

    Canelo will make the weight fine I'd imagine, will rehydrate as usual and will most likely be in the best shape possible and at his best thus far...but yeah the hair needs to go! Probably just so he'll sweat more while training.

    I agree that Floyd is taking the piss a little, he knows that the agreement suits him a lot more no mater the no rehydration limit and no matter how it seems in the media...I just hope Canelo actually puts in the work prior to the night...hoping for a cracker.

    It's either horse**** that he's 168 in the photo or else the boy is f*ucked. He looks quite drained at 154 tbh but seems to get it done in the end.

    Canelo is not 167 in that pic. The first thing he needs to sort is that little pumpkin pie haircut.

    Can't wait for this fight. :D:) :P

    For Pac-Man vs Cotto!!:

    Cotto will make the weight fine I'd imagine, will rehydrate as usual and will most likely be in the best shape possible and at his best thus far...

    I agree that Manny is taking the piss a little, he knows that the agreement suits him a lot more no mater the no rehydration limit and no matter how it seems in the media...I just hope Cotto actually puts in the work prior to the night...hoping for a cracker

    Would love it if Canelo done to Mayweather what Mayweather done to Marquez and turn up at the weigh in 2 pounds over and then refuse to lose it and for Canelo to pay a fine. Mayweather would have a mickey fit though and prob call off fight cause its not all going his way, still think Marquez should have refused to agree to that fight especially after considering he was coming up 2 weight classes for the bout.

    It takes an unbridled amount of testicles to stand in front of a man, let him fire at you, counter, and then counter his counter.

    The man is the most skilled and pure boxer of his generation, and possibly of all time.

    Going to be a very nasty night for The Cinnamon Bun September 14th no matter what he weighs.

    Starting to get wet for it already.

    Don't think Showtime or HBO will be able to better this.

    Biggest fight since Klitschko vs Haye I'd say

    Will there be a showtime 24/7 equivalent for this?

    There will indeed. Episode 1 is this Friday in the States.
    Boxnation are showing it next Monday and Tuesday as far as I can tell. I think the Tuesday one may be Freeview.

    Anyone giving Canelo a chance here?

    The boy for me has a great chance against a man in the Autumn of his career.

    Shall be a war I'd say no matter who wins

    Watched it, must say i'm liking the vibe off Canelo, he seems actually confident that he is the one to beat Floyd, have often found some of Floyd's opponents like Guerrero have acted confident but really they don't honestly think they will win, Canelo seems different not trash talking but quietly confident that he will win

    Are there still plans for BoxNation to go HD for this bout?

    Still no official date for this yet I don't think. It would make perfect sense to have it set up in time for this bout though.

    There was mention of a PPV angle being added to their setup too. That could net them quite a few quid if they had it for this card too.

    very hard to tell since Canelo is being translated

    im not as excited about this as many others seem to be.

    Canelo is still undercooked for me, not rounded enough to beat Floyd. But I can understand the impatience he has, he is a growing guy and this is his shot before maybe moving even further up in weight.

    Mayweather can see this. He know Canelo is a bigger and stronger guy but technically far inferior. I feel Floyd doesn't see this as big of a challenge as the public do. But it does his legacy no harm of course.

    The one disclaimer I will add is that there surely has to be potential for Mayweather to get screwed here also should the fight go the distance and be in anyway close. Look at Bradley v Pacquiao.

    A Canelo win satisfies alot of the money men in the world of Boxing. A sure fire star to take Boxing into the latter part of this decade. Floyd with a loss on his record is still a huge draw, and the Pacman fight would be an obvious avenue of course.

    Would not be at all surprised to see Canelo receive a gift points decision and leave the world scratching its head at how the sports grandest fight could be so obviously pre determined.

    It's now or never for this fight really. Canelo can certainly develop more, but Mayweather is 36 now. If he was to wait another couple of years who knows where Mayweather will be or whether he would even want the fight? This is as optimum a moment as there is going to be for this matchup.
    Canelo will probably never be presented with another chance at fame and fortune like this.

    Still would rather the 24/7 series. The narrator was class on that. The storyline is starting to get a bit monotonous now, same shit about Mayweather spending money and having a troubled past with his father.

    Couldn't agree more. Plus, for me, anyway, PBF is very boring. He lacks charisma and personality.
