Floyd Mayweather’s boxing legend demanded from Canelo Alvarez at 152 pounds when he agreed to a contract with Youthful Buck in 2013.

Mayweather, Leonard Ellerbe, revealed the surprising fact of the battle of the former pound for the undisputed ruler of Canelo. Named “The One”, when presented in Las Vegas, the aging 36-year-old Mayweather accepted the younger Whipip-Snapper in Canelo at MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Despite his sensitivity, Canelo accumulated an impressive 42-0-1 record. At that time he was a united super-high champion in the field of only 23 years. Despite the growing references, Mayweather had no problems signing negotiations on the fourth duel with six struggles with Showtime sports.

Floyd Mayweather vs Canelo

In 44-0, the Las Vegas competition was seen as an alternative to fans, seeing how Mayweather heads to Manny Pacquiao. At that time, four four fighters in weight classes from 147 to 154 pounds are Mayweather, Juan Manuel Marquez, Pacquiao and Canelo. Adding “Change of Guardian” and “Master vs. The student “made the collision even more pleasant.

To make everything more even, Mayweather was initially aimed at a tight 154-pound Canelo. Many thought they would ask for a maximum weight limit of 150 pounds, but not as indicated by Ellerbe. The General Director of the Mayweather Promotions said that Floyd was pleased to give Canelo an additional pair of pounds to prove that the point of the upcoming warrior was about who was a better warrior.

Ellerbe stated that Floyd’s decision meant that the difference at night of the fight was almost twenty pounds.

“Before [the Canelo fight]He told the media that he would be ready to fight at the age of 50. We arrived at 152. [Canelo then] He prevailed him [by] 19 pounds on the night [the fight]Ellerbe said.

Mayweather weighed just over 150 pounds, which was definitely pressure, but it was the second highest sign of his career. What happened only a day later during the fight was nothing unusual, considering what Canelo achieved.

Even with one of the most shocking results cards of all -time judges, courtesy of CJ Ross, Floyd did enough to put the Mexican future superstar in his place.

I lost every round

WBN, shooting live at night, could not give Canelo one round, this was the dominance at the “Money” man’s exhibition. At his Majestic Best Mayweather was always inviolable. Given the fact of Ellerbe, the victory was all the more impressive.

Due to the weight of Canelo, the fight would be impossible nowadays. That is why 2013 was an ideal time for anyone interested. Canelo admitted that he learned a lot from his experience with Mayweather and was grateful that he had the opportunity to face a great one.

Now a four -member ruler with belts exceeded at 154, 160, 168 and 175, Canelo is today’s version of what Mayweather has been for many years.

Jordan argued that the reality behind the proposed Joshua vs. Fury fight differs significantly from public statements, before explaining why he believed the event was already taking place outside the normal promotional structure.

“With all due respect, but first and foremost, the reasons why there is enough money to do this is, as we both know and have discussed many times, that both Tyson and Joshua have slightly different deals with their promoters than other fighters because they are not subject to a broadcasting obligation,” Simon said on talkSport Boxing.

“So when Tyson Fury does a deal, he doesn’t necessarily have to be on a broadcaster that Frank Warren or Eddie Hearn is contracted to.

“Where is this fight? Netflix, right?

“So with all due respect and I mean no disrespect to either Frank or Eddie, neither of them are promoting it.

“It’s a deal with Netflix that ultimately includes some of Turki Alalshikh’s money, so Dana is throwing her two pence into the ring.

“But Eddie promotes AJ and Frank promotes Tyson, so they must be involved.”

Jordan then suggested that White’s connection to Turki Alalshikh is the reason the UFC boss is publicly discussing the fight.

“Dana’s daddy will promote it, i.e. Turki Alalshikh” – said Simon.

Both Joshua and Fury are expected to return to the ring ahead of their scheduled showdown later this year, with Joshua scheduled to fight on July 25, with Fury also discussing a return fight.

Hrgovic strongly disagreed and mocked Allen’s approach to the fight while discussing his opponent.

“Yes, that’s his loser mentality. That’s what he achieved throughout his career. That’s why he suffered 10 defeats and I suffered one defeat,” Hrgovic told iFL TV.

“It’s just an underdog mentality. I just take the pressure off myself like, ‘I’m a Doncaster boy.’ I’m here to fight the good fight. I don’t have to win. It puts pressure on him.”

“You know, it’s a loser’s mentality. So OK, I’ll take the pressure. I have to win. I’m a winner.

“He always had this mentality. ‘I’m fat. I don’t train. I don’t need to win. I’m tiny’. Come on, man. Don’t make excuses your whole life. Just train, be professional and go for the win.

“I expect him to be the best version of himself because this is a huge opportunity for him and it’s his hometown. I expect him to be in good shape.

“I think I’m definitely a tougher fight for him than Zhang. Zhang is aged, aged.

“I can also be fat if I don’t train and if I drink beer. I can be fat and be a journeyman and come to every fight and just say, ‘I don’t have to win.’ I’m here to fight the good fight. “

“I think I’m better. I’m faster. I’m better in all aspects of the fight. But you know, it’s heavyweight boxing. Anything can happen and he’s a brave guy. He always comes forward and steps up to the fight. So I think it’ll be a good fight.”

Hrgovic comes into the fight after a tough recent run that has included physical fights with Daniel Dubois, Joe Joyce and David Adeleye. He defeated Joyce and Adeleye after losing to Dubois, with both victories coming after tough rounds and bulky rallies.

The fight will be the main event of Saturday’s heavyweight gala in Doncaster.
