Mayweather/Canelo 2

I bet this fight is a go in December. Mayweather may be a dumb illiterate, unable to hang on to any of his money because of the spending habits necessary to compensate for the demons of his broken childhood; so stupid that he even fails to pay his taxes in the hopes that the IRS will not notice. Anyway, the one thing he is good at is matchmaking that makes money for the business of boxing (with him getting a decent cut too, though not nearly what is advertised). That said, does anyone think a guy who was so broke that he had to beg the IRS just this past July not to seize his house (as they did in 2008), for the $30 million he owed, and made about $50 million post-taxes in the Mcgregor fight (meaning he has about $20 million net worth) will not fight again if he can clear another $50 million? He has beaten Canelo once, and though it would be a totally different fight, Mayweather would actually be fighting for the middleweight title. At this point losses mean nothing, that sham is up (btw, does anyone actually believe he beat Castillo the first time?). Even if he loses to Canelo, a rematch makes him even more. It's the only way for a guy who spends like this 5'6" champion to not run out of cash, though he will be broke within five years.

True_That

nelo was not weight drained. dude was 21. a kid. still had lots of ring experience. would of looked better now at 54, but still, the same nelo turned up. hatton was more drained at 140 vs pac imo. he should of never of went back down when he moved up. the hatton floyd faced would of gave cotto fits at 47. not saying hatton would win, but we would of seen a good fight. anyone but pac and floyd, hatton would of troubled he trained hard. Not disagreeing just pointing out Canelo was 23 years old when he fought Floyd.

Mayweather had to weight-drain a green 21 year old to 152, there's no way he's fighting an experienced 160 Canelo. If he hadn't weight-drained Canelo in the first fight there's no guarantee he would have won the first time around. It was obvious that the weight-draining effected Canelo quite badly, he was sluggish and his reflexes weren't on point. Canelo was actually 23 years old when he fought Floyd.

Nah, canelo was simply too green. Right now canelo would ko floyd, he learned the value of a strong body attack after that fight.lol at how casually you say this exposing how nonsensical you are as a so-called "boxing fan". We've never seen Floyd even close to being stopped in 50 fights yet you casually predict that he'd be ko'ed by a guy that he has already 10-2'ed. This kind of irrational hate is why the guy is ppv-king while being "boring".

Wouldn't be hard to call up the IRS and get the letter they sent him a few weeks back demanding payment, and alerting him that interest is accruing at 6% on the $22 million. He owes another $8 to Nevada or Las Vegas, not sure which. Perhaps these documents are public, and on their websites too. NOBODY messes with the IRS...NOBODY.

How the hell can certain fans call for Floyd to move up at 40 years old and fight Lil G', but expecting 97G to fight Ward is being a black supremacists or a hater?

he'll never cash himself out if that's what you're asking. his entire rep is built on convincing pathetic dorks with limited boxing knowledge that he's unbeatable no matter the circumstance. if he fights again, it'll be a McGregor rematch or something like that.

Some of y'all are really desperate. This is the only sport where an inactive past his prime 40-year-old gets held to a higher standard than anyone else in his respective sport. This **** is ****ing asinine. Canelo"I WAS BORN READY"Alvarez took the fight when he wanted it and at the time we can say he wasn't ready, but thats beside the point. In boxing, some fights gets made and some don't. Canelo made a big deal about wanting to get that fight made and it happened. I wish it was so easy to go back in time and have a 28-year-old Floyd squaring off against a 27-year-old Canelo, but life doesn't work like that. Then again, Floyd is the only 40-year-old athlete who stays in his prime forever according to some of y'all.

I really think Floyd is done this time around, but if not, this is probably the only fight that they can make a lot of money on, now that Floyd's a little older and he went for the KO versus McGregor, they would use that to heighten the public's interest.

Canelo would probably KO Floyd at this point. The rematch will never happen. However, prime Floyd completely outclasses prime Canelo.

Mayweather doesn't want any part of a now prime Canelo. He got him when he was young and green. It's funny that Floyd wants to protect Gervonta Davis from Loma by saying "he's too young for Loma" at 22, yet Canelo was 22/23 when he fought Floyd. Canelo's 40+ fights going in were against cab drivers for the most part and he didn't have the amateur career that Davis or Floyd had.

GGG doesn't sell PPVs. Canelo does. As soon as the human trafficker realizes that his genius business "tranny collection" makes him $0/night, he will come running back to the biggest money fight available. He's praying Canelo wins Saturday.

but you said you think floyd will come back out of retirement to fight ggg. so going by your logic, floyd is only saying ggg is one dimensional because he knows he's gonna fight him eventually like with manny??? thats what you said regarding what floyd said about pac being one dimensional. Um, no. You're seriously distorting my whole point. Golovkin isn't someone that Floyd needs to fight because he isn't in the same weight class + Floyd was "retired" when he made those comments... Not to mention he shouldn't feel obligated to face everyone under the sun. Pacquiao was different; He was a rival that existed in Mayweather's weight class at a time when Floyd was active on a normal basis and it was inevitable that they would eventually go at it. The situations aren't the same. You seem to believe that just because Floyd didn't feel like coming out of retirement to fight GGG before doesn't mean circumstances won't motivate him to change his mind later. There wasn't as much of an incentive to face him before; But if Floyd realizes he may only have one last big $$$$$$ fight left + Sees GGG beat Canelo and suddenly gets the urge to show everyone what he can do to him, then he may return to face him.

no version of canelo will beat floyd. too flat footed to chase floyd down. Until he has taken little floyds legs.

so for pac its just trash talk but when it comes to ggg, he's being serious?? LOL. look, floyd will be floyd. you expect floyd to give ggg credit when ggg is rival to canelo, who floyd beat and is suppose to be one of floyd's best win? "Can Manny Pacquiao beat me?" he asked a Sky reporter afterwards. "Absolutely not. Easy work, easy fight. I don't see no versatility in Manny Pacquiao. I see just a fighter, you know, a good puncher, but just one dimension". He knew back then that Pac was his biggest rival and that he was always gonna have to fight him eventually. Plus, that was at the height of his "Money" Mayweather days when he was a rapid sh*t talker. The Golovkin talk came around/after his retirement, when he seemed more genuine with his criticisms of fighters. I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with Floyd, but I can see why a technical boxer like him would think Golovkin is too limited to beat him.

LockardTheGOAT

do you really believe that? he also said pac was one dimensional prior to fighting him. im not a fan of floyd but he knows his boxing. if it was easy, then it would have happen already. That's rather short-sighted. And I don't recall him ever saying Pac was one-dimensional, if he ever did, it was just trash talk. His opinion about Golovkin has always seemed pretty genuine.
