If Canelo was a Top rank fighter.....

When I think about it sometimes I feel like boxing has become like pro wrestling in the sense of there being different rosters in different companies. It's like Top Rank is WWE, Golden Boy is WCW, & Dibella Promotions is ECW. The rest are just indy companies. It's ridiculous that boxing has come to this. Sadly, so many fights are just fantasy fights, unless a boxer switches promoters. so far yours is the most sensible post i read to date...

Lets remember before it was just Top Rank and Golden Boy that were involved in the feud, now it is HBO and Showtime. No chance it wouldve gotten made.

I imagine it would be seen as a Floyd duck if the fight didn't happen But I wonder what would be the reasons given for why the fight didnt happen, money split? would they not have caved on the catchweight? Drug testing? He would be a TR fighter, that would be the reason. Quick, name me the last tiem Floyd fought a fighter still under the TR banner.

I hope Canelo kicks Mayweathers ass

if Canelo was really that good top rank would have signed him. they r the ones who always find and polish off the diamonds, not the 10yr old gbp. lol

If Canelo was a TopRank fighter then he and Chavez.Jr would be the fight that people would have wanted to see. We probably would never have seen that fight. Look what happened with Gamboa a lopez

I think everyone is pretty much in agreement that the fight would not happen and its sad to think that them being under different promotional companies would be the only real reason it wouldn't happen. And now along with the showtime/GBP/HBO split this issue will seem to only grow. I can't bloody wait for Bob Arum to kneel over and die already. At the rate this is going, might as well create two different sports. Top Rank Boxing and Golden Boy Boxing.

If Canelo was with Top Rank then this fight wouldn't happen, obviously.

If Canelo was a Top Rank fighter we would have a countdown clock for the CatchWeight King Catchweather. And what'll be funny his he'll be nowhere to be found.

Sucks that boxing is not run like other professional sports where the best fights the best kinda like how tennis goes every grand slam tourny where always the best makes it out. Canelo probably would have fought Mosley/Cotto/ Margarito/ JCCJR/ Martinez/ and maybe pacquiao or marquez later on if he started with Top Rank

He would have to fight tough fighters as there's not much to cherry pick from at TR. probably get sparked by provodnikov.

Yeah Im to the point where I just don't expect fighters from different promo companies to ever fight each other. But I still hole out hope that some fighters will pull a Razor Ramon to Scott Hall or Diesel to Kevin Nash! lol yeah that would be funny. The problem is a lot of fighters feel too comfortable where there at currently, so their too afraid to switch over. Pacquiao is a great example of that. He's way too comfortable with Arum to ever switch over to Golden Boy or be his own promoter like Mayweather. Pacquiao vs Mayweather is never going to happen ever now since Pacquiao is stuck with Arum until the end of 2014 I believe. I think Arum is mainly to blame for this whole mess of there being a roster split basically. I don't understand why Arum, who's in the twilight of his life still cares so much about taking in all the money. It's not like he's going to be able to take that money with him when he's gone. He's going to be a stubborn sob until the day he dies.

And yes, i know margrito is retired, but bob would have dug him up

He would have fought mosley(already fought him), cotto, and margrito before fighting pacquiao at 150 for the middleweight title...wait... If he lost, he would fight for a vacant SMW against chavez, no catchweight, full 168. JCC jr would come in at 200lbs on fight night, no drug testing

I imagine it would be seen as a Floyd duck if the fight didn't happen But I wonder what would be the reasons given for why the fight didnt happen, money split? would they not have caved on the catchweight? Drug testing? Venue, priced himself out, the split, vada vs usada..

It obviously would've been another name Floyd would have ducked in his career I imagine it would be seen as a Floyd duck if the fight didn't happen But I wonder what would be the reasons given for why the fight didnt happen, money split? would they not have caved on the catchweight? Drug testing?
