Khan is starting to get on my nerves! Okay, Ortiz was a tune up fight coming off of a long layoff for floyd. He was at the ortiz vs berto fight saw ortiz go to work on a previously unbeatten berto and he got excited. He came back to the sport. Ortiz was riding a wave and beat what was considered a top welterweight at the time. Maidana made a fool out of Broner who was being held as the next mayweather. Not to mention the social media buzz that whole next week on Twitter facebook and instagram. Khan is coming off a knock out loss to Garcia, a robbery but still a loss tp peterson, and a lackluster performance against Julio Diaz. His name is hurting right now. He's a draw in Britain but so is elton john that doesnt mean theyre relevant. Beating Alexander who still has Porter problems doesnt get you floyd. He needs to fight more actual welterweights and not hang on to his accomplishments at 140 Thurman, Matthysse, Bradley, Pacquiao, Porter or maybe even call out broner and whoop his ass then he mighy get that push for a mayweather clash.
My man said Floyd ducked Winky.....my goodness.....Floyd ducked Trinidad, Roy jones and he could have fought Hopkins ducked him to don't forget about Lennox Lewis!
He has every right to ask a twenty two year old kid who should be a super middleweight to come down and fight. This is a guy who has NEVER made a fighter come down in weight before. He was stripped of his 154 lb belt about a month ago so he doesn't have to fight there if he doesnt want to
.If I recall correctly. When Floyd wanted to fight De La Hoya. He had to meet Oscars demands. Ring size. Weight. Glove size. The works. He was the draw so thats the way it works if you want your shot.
Canelo is the challenger here, not the HOF.If he's not gonna come down in weight, or meet the requirements for.the.fight,.then he doesnt get his.shot. Or payday. Just like Floyd would have. Period.
he's a 36 year old man. Who has 17 years.in the sport. if I was him im not.letting.some kidd dictate terms and come into the ring at 172 lbs. And I.doubt you would either.
My point exactly. Floyd no longer holds the 154 title. Who is Canelo to say "I want Floyd to come to 154 and fight me for my title" and expect Floyd to do it? Especially when Floyd has no interest in his title
Go look at who the champs are at 154 and them come back and edit your message when you see the list! Floyd would not be GOING anywhere. He fights in two divisions and fought Cotto there and he is a 154 pound champ!!
Cotto at his heaviest is 160 on fight night Floyd weighed in at 151 n on fight night weighed 147. Canelo weighs close to 180 pounds on fight night. If I were Floyd I'd make him agree to not coming over 160 for fight night or tell him to fight people his size. People were giving Chavez Jr grief for his weight in fights. Floyd has 154lb title but honestly he's not a 154lb fighter the two times he's visited that weight class he fought other former welterweights. If Canelo is so adamant than he should fight Mayweather on his terms. Mayweather allowed de la Hoya to call the shots before he dethroned him. what has Canelo done to be in position to call any shots?
Bertie, Angulo, Mayfield all took Ls and Khan hasn't been impressive at all. Virgil Hunter told Mayfield " You gotta go get it, he's tigjt, don't let him take it blah blah blah. " he gave NO instruction whatsoever vs Robert Garcia who actually gave his man advice and instruction and provided an adaptable gameplan. Besides Ward who else does Virgil have winning ?Not virgil hunter's fault at all. He gave a perfect plan for Mayfield to win. You obv did not watch the fight. Delorme is so terrible. He got away with clinching the whole fight away and 2 terrible low blow back to back. Delorme will get blown out by any decent LWW. Especially a busier fighter
I've said this before ill say it again. Canelo WANTS to fight Floyd. Floyd IS the p4p champ. Why should Floyd have to go to 154 to allow Canelo to fight him? If Donaire called Floyd out would you expect Floyd to drop to 126?
Davidkidd is your archetypal Fl*mo: a woefully stupid, uneducated moron without the slightest of interest or knowledge of boxing outside of Mayweather, as evidenced by virtually every single post that he's made on this site relating to Mayweather and nobody else.
One of the major reasons Mayweather has been able to make as much money as he has is because of the large number of spastics like this that follow him and lap up everything he says and does. He could literally offer them a plate of turd and tell them it was pasta and these retards would believe him and gobble that sh*t up.
Lmao that was hilarious!!! Boxing is my favorite sport i dont miss a fight from Marciano to Aaron Pryor Jr i enjoy it. And i also enjoy the debates. This article is about mayweather and pacquioa yes? I have discussed mayweather and pacquiao yes? Lol i dont even post on here often and only time i post about mayweather is when its pertaining to mayweather lol. Would you like to discuss Riddick Bowe, Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Joe Fraizer, Hector Camacho, Butterbean, on this floyd post? Itd be foolish but we can do it. I can discuss the sport and never have to visit a boxerec or wikipedia lol.
Thurman could've fought Broner, Matthysse, Porter, Guerrero (although Robert ducked) Judah, Devon Alexander, Berto, Khan, Collazo, Josesito Lopez, I would've even settled for Pablo Cesar Canon or Malignaggi. Not to mention Thurman has fought at 154 and he could've fought any C level fighter there that would've been better than Diaz. Truth of the matter is Golden Boy has been putting on crapshows and floyds undercarriage would've been worlds better If they matched Broner vs Khan amd then anyone two boxers on this list.
First off I'm no Pac tard..I respect both Pac and Floyd tbh..Second,I'm not discrediting any of Floyd's opponents tbh..I am however pointing out why saying Floyd is tbe is outrageous..When the victory's that would have help his claim to this all came against past prime fighters..This is not about May or Pac being better,which is why I did not(I will not)start to go in on Pac's opponents..If you want to have a discussion on Pac's opponents make a thread and I'd hope to make my feeling known on the subject..
Mayweather is clearly great,and wins over Corrales JLC Chaves Hernandez(one of my fav Mayweather wins)etc etc where great wins..Yet when has he fought other HOF in their primes,I'll wait..When has he had a fight like a SRL vs Duran or SRL vs Hearns??I'll wait..
Nobody is trying to say Mayweather is not great,but tbe is just a stupid ass statement to make..
I wasnt calling you a Pac Tard directly sorry if it came off that way. I was stating that Pac Tards are the majority that throw up that defense across the board. But to answer your question. Floyd fought a prime canelo, a prime Corrales, a prime Hatton, thats just naming 3 top tier in their division future hall of famers who were undefeated when floyd fought them. Now to you i say besides Hearns and Duran name 4 more top opposition, future hall of fame, and winning opponents SRL faced. Ill spot you one Marvin Hagler.
Lets not forget to mention SRL avoided Aron Pryor.
Mayweather fights his Aron Pryor May 2nd
Yet Floyd is ranked # what at 154? http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdjtbmkjx61rp7g3w.gif
Regardless to what he's ranked he no longer holds a title in the division and he has no reason to want Canelos. Canelo wants Mayweather Canelo should put in the work to get Mayweather, its that simple. And if Mayweather decides to fight Canelo for kicks and giggles I feel he should have a stipulation where Canelo can't weigh more than 154-160 on fight night
Go look at who the champs are at 154 and them come back and edit your message when you see the list! Floyd would not be GOING anywhere. He fights in two divisions and fought Cotto there and he is a 154 pound champ!!
Cotto at his heaviest is 160 on fight night Floyd weighed in at 151 n on fight night weighed 147. Canelo weighs close to 180 pounds on fight night.

Don't get me wrong I like Danny Garcia and I think that he has an okay style with alot of heart and could eventually become a bigger name in the sport. But at the end of the day this is boxing and rather its about money or its about legacy, you can not let a fighter like mayweather retire without wanting a crack at him! If its about legacy can you really say your the best of your time when mayweather reigned supreme when you were boxing? Same thing with broner, I understand building your OWN legacy but can you really build your legacy and be considered the BEST when the BEST fighter was around and you practically flat out said no? Bottom line is the longer Floyd hangs aroundthe more damage he does to those that wouldn't fight him career because people will always go "but mayweather was the best boxer at that time"
All I have to say is Floyd loses to Canelo and Martinez in my mind. Therefore, he will not be fighting either one of them. Paul Williams, Winky Wright, Margarito, Casamayor at 130, Tszyu at 140, Vernon Forrest. All ducked by Floyd. Anyways good job by him beating up Guerrero not a lot of credit since Salido did the same thing years back. And can we please finally get a Pacquiao fight. I don't care if Manny loses...I want to see him lose to Floyd.
Please explain WTF you are talking about because Guerreros only loss was to Gamaliel Diaz the salido fight was a no contest. Martinez is a 160 pounder and Canelo weighs more than.Martinez on fight night. How about the ginger and the Argentine fight and leave Floyd's little ass at 147
You attempted to equate Canelo, Diego Corrales & Ricky Hatton to Hearns, Duran & Hagler.
It is 100% true. You are a spacker of the highest order.
In his era they are comparable. Im not saying they are equal to or greater than. Im looking at it on paper. And again besides them name noteable names SRL beat
I was referring to your entire post history, you absolute maroon. When you post, it's related to Mayweather and Mayweather alone. You have zero interest in boxing outside of him, and name-checking a handful of fighters isn't convincing anyone.
Not true dumb dumb.
another floyd lover, lol. this is hilarious!
"Floyd has a belt at 154."
".........SO FUK DEM FLOYD MAKES DA RULEZZZZZ, WORD."
lmao
:bryce: Floyd DOES NOT have a 154 title anymore he was stripped
You obviously know shyt about Boxing so I won't entertain you after this as I am typing this from my iPhone and I no longer have free data with Verizon. Salido's win was changed to a NC he initially got the W! Sergio is a very small MW who said he could fight as low as 150lbs if he wanted to but no one down there wants to fight him including Floyd. And don't start making excuses about not fighting Canelo cuz as I recall Floyd was calling Canelo out as a 19 year old boy! Now that Canelo is a man he's too big??!! GTFOH with that bullshyt ya bish!!! You just got owned!!! Good night!! I love Boxing!! And God bless America!!
If the fight was ruled a no contest and Guerrero only had one loss then that means he didn't lose to Salido correct? Martinez agreed to coming down to 154 for Floyd OR Pacman and that still doesn't change the fact Mayweather is a 147 pound fighter. He is the man to beat why should he be chasing anybody? If Canelo wants him he needs to use his discipline get down to 147 and pursue a fight. Mayweather has nothin left to prove. And Floyd has never once called Canelo out. You're gonna have to show me proof on that one
That is 153 on fight night and was a pound bigger than Floyd , biggest boxing dunces are on this site they talk the talk and dont know sh1t about boxing .
Amen! And out of that entire post of truth all he could come up with was a weak attempt to correct a weight! They hate admitting Floyd is an all time great
There was a time when i really liked kirkland. I used to think he was tyson reincarnated. The anger he fought with and his style of rugged F you fighting and intimidating glances had me thinking he would be one of the greats of this generation. But he's made some TERRIBLE decisions and i think leaving Anne was the worse decision. She brought the beast out of that boy and without her he looks less than mediocre. He had so much promise in the beginning but now he looks old and bloated. Without Anne Canelo makes easy work of him.
