After everything hes been through I hope he doesn't take on Spence or Crawford. Hes done more than enough.
Hes undersized as it is and now fighting guys at there primes. Fight mikey and call it a day. But I didnt think he had enough left but he beat Thurman.
Hes amazing for his size.
Brought him up two weight classes and misses weight... really?
Just look at them clinch it's a joke..like when he fought canelo.Just call them what they were (cherrypicks) and move on.
They all did it.
Mikey's no joke, hes not up there with Canelo or the elites but hes close. If he dominates him Ill give him props.
Alot of questions will be answered, Mikey has alot or experience even with big punchers.
Manny cant fight that hard against a much bigger guy for 12 rounds no more. Just too much at 40, he was gassed against Thurman many rounds.
Spence can go hard 12 rounds easy. Manny has done more than enough, 5 years ago very competitive 12 rounds. Hell I would favor him 10yrs ago.
Hope he doesn't take the fight right now.
Floyd played it safe, yes hes a better pure boxer but damn Manny with his little size and accomplishments is far Greater.
Floyd could of dared to be the greatest but played it safe and made his money.
I don't know if you guys have noticed this but Pacquiao has a big ass head. It's really, really, really big. He's like a real life bobblehead.
Have you seen Floyd's head????
Only one has failed a drug test anddd got caught.
FACTS
It's also how you beat them, potshotting and holding for 12 rounds..
The potshotting and elusiveness is sometimes sweet to watch, but the damn holding and bending below the waist is straight s***. And illegal
Wow.... Why wasn't anything put out that he was taking the hair test. Now we have this bulls*** fight and i would be suing Ggg for defamation and some.
Wouldnt even give him a rematch and let him rot.... Ggg camp caused all the uproar.
All of you saying 152lb 22 yo Canelo beats a semi prime Pac are delusional Haters.
Gtfoh with that bull, froid lovin bums.
Marquez will always give him problems but froid beat him going up 2 DIVISIONS... stop it.
He beats them all toughest fight being Cotto@154, and he's not even a welterweight.
Canelo can take a punch, but hes not willing to sit there and trade. He likes to be slick and wait for chances to punch. Thats why he does terrible against guys that move. By the time he sets his feet and has his opportunity, they are gone, and he has to start over again.
We are talking about comparing him to ATG fighters, who had extremely convincing wins over fellow ATG fighters. When Canelo lost every single round to Floyd, in many peoples opinions lost both fights to GGG, and barely squeaked by Lara.
He has not put on an ATG performance, against another great fighter.
Much less against another ATG fighter in their prime.
Hagler has, Toney has, Hopkins has. Floyd has, Hearns has, Leonard Has, Jones has.
Nobody took Jones beating John Ruiz seriously. But Canelo is doing the same thing, but doing it under more dubious circumstances. That doesn't make him greater, that makes him a circus performer. He might as well start fighting youtubers if hes going to be putting in a full camp, while giving the other guy 3 1/2 weeks.
Once again, Canelo is very Talented, and can be fun to watch, when he is in actual fights like against GGG. But he seems content to just fight stinkers these days.
Not willing to sit and trade???
Did you watch Canelo vs GGG 2!!??
All boring fights accept the Ferg vs gathje. Masvidal fight had hype but man it was a snoozer.
Agree the cards have some more entertainment for casuals though, mostly.
I thought Canelo edged out rounds 1,2,3,6,10,11,12
Golovkin won 4,5,7,8,9
But a few of those rounds could be swapped out to golovkin
Come at me GGG fans idc this fight was close as hell
Had the same with rounds 6, 11 very close. So draw is kool with me.
You dont stand and trade against a guy like that whats so hard to understand. He made him miss in bunches, but didnt throw enough, hence the draw. He put on alot of weight to deal with the punches and managed it the best he could.
Canelos defense is really good just depends on how long he can kkeep it up. Keys to this fight are Canelos stamina and body shots also how mUuch the the weight loss affects Chavez.
No1 got dominated in there fight, the fight was much closer than *****s make it out to be. If he had taken more chances or done something special he would be regarded as a top 10 atg but he chose not to. He can still do something but i dont c it happening.
Ggg trying to get an advantage, he knows ward will be tough to hit. As for ward just playing the waiting game for a big payday. But hes been waiting too long and is probaly the B side against kov ggg and froch. They bring the money he just has to pick his poison.
Canelos really confident, good for both sides unless canelo loses. Cottos had a great career already so win or lose he gets paid. I Canelo wins he"ll make money sooner rather than later but if he loses he"ll have to build up a bit again.
Beating a shell of a great fighter is no better than beating a decent fighter that's not a big name
At that point Joe Louis was not a great fighter anymore
Its not just the name but when in their career you beat them is most important
Some of these guys DKSAB
Ohh like Manny past prime, Mosley past prime, Cotto past prime, De la hoya...GTFOh
For Garcia its a good fight to gradually work his way in to top welters but he wont be able to avoid them too much longer. He really needs to avoid getting hit so much using his waist, moving his head, blocking or his legs. If he cant do that against guerrero he"ll get busted up and haymon wont save him from guys like thurman(on the scorecards).
Imagine the reaction from the gullible groupies, especially Golovkin, if Cotto beats Canelo then signs to fight Floyd.
NSB would be a sh1tstorm.
Do you think he would fight Canelo at 157 or so if he would win?(im assuming cotto vs canelo will be a catchweight)That would be an easy win for floyd if Cotto wins, Canelo would be interesting not having weight issues.
