    I thought he had started looking worse as well. In the first three episodes of the all access stuff he was in tip-top shape as well.

    Disagree with Canelo looking bad, he was dehydrated but that's par for the course.

    He looked relaxed and focused and was ripped on the scale.

    its * * how everything is to suit gayweather, hate that guy. What's intriguing though i that at 23 Canelo has had 1 less fight than gayweather, madness.

    Hope he smashes floyd but can't see it, think gayweather will get the decision in a close fight

    Going to watch it with a sore napper tomorrow morning!

    Mexicans are almost to a man like that, he's fought bums up until recently whereas Mayweather is a prize fighter and has been for years.

    Can't wait for tonight. Not often I get excited about boxing anymore, normally has to involve Mayweather and the prospect of him getting beat.

    Don't think Canelo looked bad at the weigh in, you could tell he was dried out but he was happy to give interviews after etc. enjoyed him telling mayweather where to go when he offered him the belt :smiley-laughing002:

    Someone asked about Canelo's number of fight.....he turned pro very young and did most of his early learning in the pro ranks. It's more common in boxers from the Far East and South America who may well be fighting to put food on the table from a young age. Pacquiao is a similar story I guess.

    Same here, would love to see him do Mayweather but the * where he is for a reason cos he's just that good. Alvarez is a proper Jr Middleweight though and Mayweather is coming up a weight and isn't a big puncher so Alvarez should be able to take his shots, and if he uses his weight, power and cuts the ring off then he's every opportunity. I really hope he does it. Did anybody see the weigh-in? Mayweather heavy got booed by the crowd who were mainly in favour of Alvarez.

    Also hope Matthysse smashes * out Garcia as well. Not got anything against Garcia but would love to see him get humped just to get it right up his dad, what a complete fud btw!! Matthyse is a * animal anyway and can't see past him.

    Great undercard for a change.

    Ashley theopane vs Cano - Theopane UD

    Ishe Smith vs Molina - Smith, controversial decision, boring fight.

    Danny Garcia vs Lucas Matthysse - Matthysee, late KO. Best fight of the night.

    Floyd Mayweather vs Canelo ALvarez - Money May UD, close but clear.

    This really is too tight too call..

    I think mayweather tight on points..

    Possibly Canelo with a stoppage..
