That's normal for Boxing though breh:dwillhuh:


People typically come into the ring 10+ lbs the weight limit on fight night....that aint just a Canelo thing.

Notable Examples from 2015:
Errol Spence weighed in at 149lbs against Phil Lo Greco, but came into the ring at 162lbs on fight night.
Aron Martinez weighed in at 146.6 lbs against Robert Guerrero, but came into the ring at 159.8 lbs on fight night.
Lamont Peterson weighed in at 143lbs against Danny Garcia, but came into the ring at 165 lbs on fight night.
Daniel Geale weighed in at 157lbs against Miguel Cotto, but came into the ring at 182lbs on fight night.
Sergey Kovalev weight in at 174.5lbs against Pascal, but came into the ring at 189lbs on fight night in their 1st fight.
Keith Thurman weighed in at 147lbs against Guerrero, but showed up on fight night at 162lbs.

Same here.

My only thing is, I have no problem with a fighter staying at his weight IF and that's a big ass IF his goal is to unify or if he has better paydays at that weight. But once he cashes out or unifies, it's probably time to move on. That's why I'm not mad at Floyd for fighting Berto after fighting Manny and then hanging 'em up. Fight the best and cash out or fight the best to unify.

FLOYD MAYWEATHER SAYS HE COULD SHUT DOWN CANELO VS. KHAN BY FIGHTING DANNY GARCIA IN 50TH FIGHT
By Ben Thompson | February 15, 2016

"You know, it's funny. My videographer, James Dayap, one of the best videographers in the world, came to me and said, 'Floyd, look what they're saying, trying to say that this fight is bigger than you and Pacquiao.' I mean, records are made to be broken. We'll just see what the numbers do. We can't really say. Anything can happen. They probably can make, I don't know, what, $74 million or $73 million at the gate. It's possible, you know," stated retired undefeated former pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather, who shared his thoughts on whether or not the intriguing May 7 showdown between middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez and former world champion Amir Khan could be as big as his record-setting mega-fight with Manny Pacquiao. Although Mayweather was clearly being sarcastic with his response, he made it a point to remind everyone that he'd quickly take back his pay-per-view throne should announce that he's returning for a 50th fight.

"You know, I can easily put a halt on that fight if I chose to call Mr. Garcia, [Danny] Garcia's dad, if I chose to call him and say, 'You know what, sir, you're a hell of a trainer, you're son's a hell of a fighter, he's an undefeated champion, I'm an undefeated champion, and I think it would be great for me and your son both to make a lot of money. And like I said before, you're very outspoken, my dad is very outspoken; it would be good for me to come back for number 50 and fight the undefeated Danny Garcia, you know, at the MGM Grand.' You know, since Danny Garcia is undefeated and he's very explosive, he's a very good fighter, and he really represents Puerto Rico the same way that Trinidad dad. Even though he's from Philadelphia, he represents the red, white, and blue for Puerto Rico. I'll go over to the MGM Grand and say, 'You know what? We need a venue also,' and we'll see," Mayweather informed FightHype.com during a recent conversation.

Mayweather added, "Because if I'm not mistaken, I fought Canelo, right, and then Danny Garcia fought Amir Khan, and we're both undefeated, so who do you want to see? Do you want to see them or do you want to see us? I'm just saying, I'm just putting it out there, those are the type of things that I can do. I want to say congratulations Danny Garcia. Wear that belt with class and wear that belt with style. You deserve it."

And this is no diss to Floyd, I've grown to appreciate him in retirement but I wouldn't want to see this fight. And this has nothing to do with Floyd, I just don't think that highly of Gift. :yeshrug:
