ever was, true or false?

eh, Canelo is really mimicking Floyd in a lot of ways, he may even be calculating when it's best to fight Golovkin. But the fact of the matter is, Canelo-Khan is a money fight and we're talking about it and the internet blew up upon announcement. The hype is clearly bigger than the criticism. When Floyd fought Marquez it wasn't like this, even with the "comeback." We'll have to see what Amir looks like at 155, can he add healthy muscle in one camp? When Marquez moved up, he looked small and fat, contracted 9 pounds above 135 and then another two pounds by Floyd, so unless Canelo comes in weighing 158, it'll be tough to top that.
Define irony: Mere boxing observers calling pro fighters "*****", from the safety of a keyboard when likely never stood across the ring from even an amateur.
Floyd ducked Khan and fought someone Khan already beat (Maidana), even after Khan won his public poll to fight him. The fact Canelo is fighting Khan at middleweight of course gives him a huge advantage, but it's not the same as ducking Khan completely the way Floyd did, let's be real.
Floyd wasn't a b*tch and either is Canelo. Canelo would be nuts to turn down the biggest money fight possible. No boxer in his right mind would turn down this fight with Khan. Canelo will make huge money for knocking out Khan and he will be an even bigger star after he more than likely KO's Khan. Fighting Khan doesn't make Canelo a b*tch. Not taking the Khan fight would make Canelo and idiot of a business man. Khan asked for this fight and Canelo said yes as any sane prize fighter would say.
Toss in questionable scores from judges and that pretty much sums it up.
Basically.
He does have a history of fighting smaller guys so this shouldn't be too much if a surprise. Archie Solis, I'm talking about you
True. With him crying about Mexican dates after losing to Floyd, fighting Hatton at 150. Refusing to move from 155 whether it's a fighter below, above or at 154.
Floyd at age 25/26 was still fighting his way to the top. Not having everything handed to him. Not puking the diva card til well after he was established as the guy. Canelo isn't the guy yet.

False. Didn't Floyd do the same exact thing to Marquez as well? :lol1:
I'd say they are about the same level in regards to *****assness.
not only that, but he also cheated on the scale....
