Floyd Mayweather: Numbers don't lie... He's nothing but 44. (new FH interview)

Shoot man, you know dag on well Oscar has been telling him is the next mega star at least 4 or 5 times a day for the past 2 years. He has Canelo on cloud 9 thinking he is a king or something. Its a long way down from cloud 9.....

How Canelo can behave as if he has leverage is beyond me. Maybe he's hoping to capitalize on some of the popular delusions of the Pacquiao faithful that Floyd's a "ducker," so if they pull out of the fight card it will appear as if Floyd is the guilty party, trying to duck the "dangerous" Canelo. When a fighter(s) makes a claim far bigger than is apparent for them to handle they look un-serious/clownish and run the risk of marginalizing themselves.

There are two parts to Canelo's fame, the fame from Mexico his original heat is all Canelo. I don't exactly understand it but hey that is all Canelo. Now that certainly aided him coming to the US and gave him a ready made fan base but it is not like he came in was was a straight superstar that needed no help. Now he has slowly raised his name in the US and is a bit more known beyond certain circles you would expect him to be known in that has something to do with the sound backing he has but he also gained a bunch of exposure from being on Floyd's card and having his name associated with Floyd's.

So Floyd made Canelo famous huh? I guess he must have been creeping deep down in Mexico back in the day helping the Freckled face kid draw more fans than he could ever dream of too. FLoyd just scared and jealous, it's his norm though.

Floyd reneged on a verbal agreement and Canelo moved on to do his own thing next month against Trout. Canelo moved on to fighting on cable. It's not like he's headlining his own PPV now.

But that if is gigantic, now isn't it?? Yes it is a big IF. It's his first credible fight so he needs to show us (fans) something.

I don't even like Floyd, but what he said is true. The fact is canelo Alvares cannot give demands to Floyd. Who is he but a golden boy hype job. Besides that, personally I'm glad Floyd is on his mind so. After April they'll be begging the networks for any date they can beat. As a comeback fight. Maybe then him & Cotto can headline dat ppv they're so thinking they're worth. I dont think it was so much about Canelo giving Floyd demands and instead him asking Floyd to keep his word about facing off in Sept if he appears on Floyd's ppv card and if both win their prospective bouts. Floyd reneged on a verbal agreement and Canelo moved on to do his own thing next month against Trout.

Floyd helped make Canelo more famous, I don't know if people are being willfully ignorant or looking at things from a boxing fans point of view. Obviously boxing fans have known about Canelo for some years but the casuals found out about him when he featured on Mayweather undercard. After he fought Mosley I got a lot of people asking me if he was any good and asking about his chances against Mayweather. Anyway he spoke the truth. Canelo isn't in a position to try and place an ultimatum on someone who has dedicated his 20 years to the sport.

ohh i know what context is and i know floyd wasnt speaking in context, similes, analogies, in satire etc... Floyd is a literal fella and in his deluded and conceited mind he truly believes he's the reason why canelo is famous. There is no context, i mean you have suckzfloydc*ck daily on your title, no need to pretend you didnt do that. You're known as a repugnant flowmoe here, you of all people should know floyd's history of saying idiotic incorrect things. Now you want to play journalistic editor to floyd's words? GTFO you floids infested flowmosexual single celled amoeba. fvcking simpleton. Did you really just call somebody an amoeba? Like that's somehow an insult? Might as well call him a jellyfish while you're at. o_O

http://fighthype.com/news/article14042.html http://fighthype.com/news/article14048.html I'm on my phone or otherwise I would copy all the text over, but there's some interesting stuff there. Particularly his thoughts on Canelo trying to force him to agree to a September date. I'm surprised this hasn't been posted yet. Good read my dude, green sent !!

Lol what happened to all the Floyd fans that were riding Canelo's nuts? Why do they hate him all of a sudden? :lol1:

You dont know sh1t kid , Canelo has gotten loads more publicity in the last year because of the media attention concerning a Floyd fight , why are you such a moron its very easy to understand Floyds perspective in this interview . Some of you hating kids are such narrow minded idiots all you do is bring the forum down .

Floyd's a funny dude. Good interview.

Shots fired at Canelo. LMAO Ether shut your pie hole FloydFollower. lmfaaao you aint fooling anybody with that marquez avatar trying to play yourself off as some neutral, honest, boxing fan. Very nice and insidious touch on your username trying to throw the people off of your flowmoe scent. Not gonna work flowmoe. Just die already.

WEll Floyd was older when he headlined his first PPV and it did like 300k or something close to it so if Canelo has a PPV in September and does that then he is legit. Floyd will have no room to talk because his first PPV came later in his career and the numbers werent great. It wasnt until Oscar that he made big nujmbers, dont forget that floyd and 90% were Oscars PPV buys not yours Wow! Its nice to see someone else remembers. Your recollection is quite correct and people used to cry in their Beers & milks about how good Floyd was but couldn't pack a house. That all changed after Oscar gave him a taste of the big time and the rest is history.... Under these conditions I have to say I do not blame Floyd. When one realizes that the guy really had to do a lot more than just win fights to become a draw it makes sense that he resents these young matinee idol looking light skinned guys with a following built around their charisma. The Latin community supports fighters and with oscar and canelo they are a lot easier on the eyes than Floyd to the ladies...I guess in Floyd's estimation that constitutes being handed something on a platter. But at the end of the day it might do Canelo good to have to wait in line for something.

The 24/7 made it interesting and it was an intriguing match up. Pacquiao Mayweather could've broken that though. Mayweather is right except for making Canelo a name. About his legs, he's not as fleet footed as he used to be.

wow you disgusting flowmoes now want to give Floyd credit for making Canelo famous?????? lmfaaooooo you crack heads never cease to amaze me with your warped repugnant and utterly incorrect thinking. Floyd made Canelo famous??? lmfaaoooooooooo at you savage simpletons. Says the guy who thinks he's a Dragonball Z character named cell.

As much as I hate Floyd, he's right about Canelo. Canelo has yet to headline his own PPV. Even Canelo's rival JCC Jr. already has a 500K+ PPV under his belt. Being on Floyd's undercards made Canelo recognizable to the casual boxing fan in the US. He has no reason to make demands at this stage of his career. JCC has a successful PPV under his belt because he actually fought a quality fighter. Canelo has yet to fight a legitimate 154-pounder, but still thinks he is in the same league as Mayweather. His nickname should be delusional, not Cinnamon.

If he said the moon was made of his old toenail clippings, it would make sense to you. If he said te moon was made of anorthositic rock, you would claim that he was lying and was just making excuses to avoid a fight with Pacquiao, Alvarez, Martinez or whichever boxer in or around 147 most recently knocked out a journeyman.
