Comments Thread For: Canelo: Mayweather Jr. Looking To Fight in February

[kingfaze19]

Mayweather needs to knock off Martinez and Pacquiao, after that he's the greatest ever.

if pacquiao beats marquez (hopefully he doesnt but he will) him and floyd can fight in May. if that fight doesnt happen in 2013 its never happening. and in september he can fight sergio. thatl be the best year of his boxing life.

You touch on a really good point here, and one that almost alway gets lost in the haze of masturbatory fanboyism that blights this forum. The sand runs out of the hourglass eventually, it happens to every fighter. Look at the big three - Manny, Floyd and Sergio. All of them have been showing signs of slowing down in the last year or so and that actually accelerates the more time passes.

Sometimes I think fans of particular fighters on here think boxing is the same as playing trump cards, where fighters attributes stay exactly the same throughout their careers. Its a pretty pure form of stupidity.

Its not beyond the realms of possibility that all three could lose in their very next fight.

Floyd really hasn't shown any signs of slowing down, neither has Martinez. It may seem that way because Floyd isn't a middleweight and was also fighting a cold while fighting Cotto. If Floyd was really slowing down it would have showed in the Ortiz fight and he wouldn't be fighting again, Floyd at the type of person who would continue fighting if he felt he was past it..

If Guerrero is a Tune Up for the "Money" then I'm The Duke of Earl.

Hatton and Cotto thought the same about their oppositon.

The Ghost is going to take Floyd to a rough and tumble, deep dark place.

The Ginger Bread Boy can take what remains and will STILL be defeated with harsh dispatch.

This is the New World Order.

No red haired hyped up children need apply.

I couldnt disagree with you more in the whole, but as far as the bold goes, Floyd's only revenue stream is boxing and whilst not the brightest, he is at least smart enough to know that. Floyd is a prime candidate for fighting well past his sell by date, its happened to better fighters than him, and it will happen. Historically the odds are heavily weighted towards exactly that happening.

Ortiz tried taking Floyd to a rough and tumble deep dark place too and got KTFO for his troubles...

This is just laughable. The best ever????

If Mayweather fights Guerrero hes ducking Canelo.

If he fights Canelo he ducking Trout.

If he fights Trout hes ducking Martinez.

If he fights Martinez he ducking Ward.

If he fights Ward he ducking Hopkins.


Same shyt, different day.

Wrong, Floyd has already stated he will not box past 37, I highly doubt he fights past 36. Boxing is not Floyd's only income stream where did you get that from? Floyd simply enjoys fighting, he doesn't have to fight..

Gambling and lottery soda aint gonna buy many Maybach's. Where else does he get money from? The guy is at the pinnacle of his craft and has virtually no endorsements because no big company is going to touch him with a barge pole. Does he seem like he is wise with his cash to you??

This can't be for real. Floyd's last three fights in the first half of the year have been in the first week of May. Why the hell would he suddenly decide to fight in February?

His 36th birthday
