Does it really matter?, on fight night Canelo was probably damn near 170. Canelo didnt have a problem with it, he signed the contract and earned 10-12 mil. Yall act like Floyd made him come down to 147. Get over it already
Oscar was a good fighter, but not ATG, Oscar lost EVERY big fight he was ever in. Jones was fighter of the decade in the 90s plus going fron Middleweight to HW is unprecedented. Jones legacy is cemented even if he is still fighting and of course hes a shell of his former. Jones simply wow'd fans and boxers alike with the things he was able to do. Jones definetly ranks above Oscar
Floyd vs Manny.........AGAIN???? , i dont understand how/why people say Floyd is scared of this guy. Floyd has over 90 amateur fights, soon to be 45 pro fights, WTF is Manny gonna do that Floyd hasn't seen yet. How do u get to Floyd level being scared of anybody?
Haymon is Floyds manager, jus like Cam Dunkin is Bradleys manager, Konz is Mannys manager. Floyd is his own boss. He works with GBP not for them. Thats why he can say **** Oscar and nothing can happen to him, let anyone signed to GBP say it and watch what happens to them
Bottom line is Manny should've taken the 40 mil, before his dumb ass got KO'd, this fight couldve been made a long time ago. Nobody seems to remember Freddie Roach dumb ass sayin Floyd cant make 147 anymore and they wanted a stipulation for 1 mil per pound over 147, Floyd says cool, take this drug test, Manny whose had a million punches thrown at his head says i dont want to be stuck with needles that many times, ......But Floyd is scared of thiis guy, SMH........
He gets 100% credit for it, Canelo was supposed to be his biggest threat and May took him to school, half of ppl on here said he would never take the fight to begin, now u dont wanna give him credit over 2lbs. Yall wanna see Floyd lose so bad
Boxing will never die, and as much as Dana White would love it, MMA will never replace boxing. Im an MMA fan also but the top guys like Silva and GSP only make about 300-350k a fight not including sponsorship. B level guys like Ghost and Ortiz are getting 1.5 or up to 3 mil when they fought Floyd, a UFC ppv only makes at best 4 mil. Floyd makes more in 1 fight than the biggest MMA promotion does in 2 years.
I think Roy has an edge in popularity, he was the more exciting fighter of the 2, his style was cool to watch he made the competition look silly, plus hes a former Heavyweight champ, fighter of the decade, Id watch him any day over B hop. But Hop is still going strong even tho he needs to quit before he gets killed. But you have to give him props
I love this style providing they work enough to keep the fight interesting, my boxing history isn't great though so would love for people to compile lists of the great technical boxers in history.

Its still funny how Pac wants testing now, but when Floyd suggested it in 09 oh it was outta the question, im scared of needles etc...... and Floyd is the reason they never fought.....truly amazing
