I actually think Guerrero is a tougher challenge for Floyd than Alvarez. Mayweather's style is better suited to Canelo's than Canelo's is to Mayweather's. Guerrero could be really awkward for Floyd.
this seems to be the FORGOTTEN fact in all of this...Ghost brings more to the dance than Nelo does regarding styles...both dudes are minor threats imo but Ghost seems to be able to cause a problem or 2 that Floyd will have to figure out...nothing major but he'll bring it...Nelo is in Floyd's pocket, he doesn't know yet, but he's been pocketed already...Floyd has alot of dudes gassed about him not caring about legacy...dude cares ALOT about that...don't EVER get it twisted...regardless of the f*ckery he might speak or the stupid things he might do...dude is not DUMB!!
build up Nelo and feed him to Floyd...his base is huge that a "L" to Floyd won't change the economics...history says so...Oscar, Hatton, and Marquez are lving proof...Nelo will join that list after September...nothing's new under the sun!!
This fight is a tune-up for Canelo, the same way Ortiz was a tune-up for Pacquiao. Somehow, though, the Pacquiao fight never transpired, even though it would have been much more lucrative, than the Ortiz fight.
Floyd and most observers felt Ortiz was easier, so he fought him, made his millions and gave some lip service to a Pacquiao bout, while also throwing up obstacles, so that his followers felt the fight would eventually happen. I don't believe he ever intended to fight Pacquiao and now, of course, the fight won't happen. He thought Pacquiao was too much risk.
I don't recall Mayweather being quoted as making any statements about possibly fighting Canelo. This is purely speculation that the Guerrero fight is a tune-up for him. But if Floyd felt it were an easier fight and could make millions more, he would take the fight immediately. He didn't. Canelo is a more dangerous opponent.
Waiting another year to supposedly build up to a Canelo fight is not that strategically smart in my mind. Floyd would be older, about 37, and far past the prime for any athlete. He might get hurt in this fight and damage the chances of the fight taking place. Canelo could look impressive in his fight, which would make the cautious Mayweather less inclined to fight him, or Canelo could lose, which would throw the proposed face-off, off track.
So, IMO, I don't think he will ever make the Canelo fight.
Because he will fight Canelo in sept and get paid two big paydays this year. Plus he doesn't have to pay the Ghost that much money. Like he does with Canelo because Canelo has a big fan base.
This is so retarded^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A boxer's mentality is supposed to be "no one can beat me."
Total confidence.
A boxer that would have to "cherry pick" would not feel that way... These guys aren't stupid they are well aware of who's in their divisions and who the best competition is ... If they keep getting matched soft you think they are walking around thinking "no one can beat me"...
lol, why would he duck canelo, saul is green as phuck, dude just fought a damn junior welterweight. reminds of me of all the phaggots claiming he ducks mosley, that was the stupidest sh1t ever.
I'm going to say Floyd ducks Canleo ala Pacquiao. The fight will not happen. I'm not sure what Canelo was promised but after Floyd fights Guerrero, he will take a long vacation and state he never mentioned to fight Canelo in September.
I'm willing to bet accounts.
What's your point ? Anything can happen in a fight ... A cherry pick is when you pick someone who you "think" can't beat you.

Crap is ridiculous. Floyd SHOULD be fighting Trout - all of his prostitutes on here counting his money when they know damn well he's gonna get the same amount of money no matter who he fights at this point.
wake me when that one is over.

i laughed, it's definitely true though he has some cult fans on here

Of course it is. Floyd will keep ginger in the center of the ring & beat him like a damn drum. The Ghost is far more experienced & has good skills at all ranges.

u dudes are getting silly if floyd fights canelo in september then what was all this b**ching about?
im gonna have fun bumping all these threads then watchin you fools desperately defends these ducking accusation because we all know canelo will be out of his prime come september.
Since pacman is now flatman you dudes are reaching hard ass hell lol.
Are you insinuating that Mayweather is ducking Canelo in May only to fight him in September? Also let me ask you this: Who has Canelo been in the ring with or defeated that leads you to believe that he has a chance to defeat Floyd Mayweather? This kid is 22 years old and hasn't been in the ring with any elite competition.
Do you believe that Canelo's career has been more proven than Roberts?
No I'm actually saying the opposite if you follow the thread ... Hugh grant said something like " guererro has a chance to beat Floyd , but its a cherry pick " and then I said how is it a cherry pick if you could see him beating Floyd etc..
Floyd never gets his credit, he has beaten alot of good fighters (even though he should have fought some of these guys when they were younger but a win is a win) the truth is 154 is to big for floyd he has nothing to gain going up there if he wins "canelo was overated and overhyped with a weak resume" if he loses half the ppl on here will finally celebrate and remember the date mayweather lost forever. i think the ghost will lose but he will come to fight and maybe make it a little nasty for Floyd but imo floyd should leave canelo alone and dont even consider trout, But there's no doubt about it since no more pac/mayweather discussion canelo is the biggest payday out there
because Guerrero is a blown up Superfeather weight instead of a strong undefeated Junior Middleweight.
I haven't read through the thread but let me guess. His fans are saying "Money May aint neva gonna get no credit!"
