Yes, but if no cw then there's be no fight Floyd holds boxing to ransom, nel o signed his soul away to devil. Floyd fans say there is nothing nel o can do to be greater? Even.though it was a cw with home advantage with no rematch and nel o was green?
Floyd doesn't need to rematch melo, but don't then say it was a great win and that the win counts for much. It's all smoke and mirrors.
There are things nelo can do to be greater than Floyd and nelo is well on his way. Floyd fans just need to admit what the boxing world already knows

Talking about a rematch is silly......that fight was in no way close, greatness is sized cinnamon had his moment & he didn't rise to the occasion, when Floyd fought Hernandez Floyd was also green, difference is, Floyd rose to the occasion....saying it's smoke & mirrors reeks with hypocrisy, Floyd didn't ask for the canelo match the fans wanted it, if Floyd said canel
o was still green, he would have been considered a duck & you know it
Besides canelo was fighting @ 54 & the catch weight was 52 without a rehydration clause...the catch weight was just Floyd playing mind games

on fight night Floyd weighed less than 152, canelo weighed a lot more( his fight night weight was kept secret actually & we know why), Floyd was right in front of cinnamon, he just couldn't lay gloves on the smaller man

With regards to that post on Floyd breaking into top 10 ATV, it's just foolish & here's why.....you say it's a big ask but it's required to break into ATG status, but by those same standards you don't think canelo defeating Floyd at a cw of 152 is a big ask required by cinnamon if he wants to be considered an ATG.......a blind man can see the double standards & hypocrisy....you realize Floyd walks around @ 150 max....it's like having to discredit all the Manny wins that came @ a c.w

Read this article Canelo is the one that called out Floyd and offered to drop to 150. Floyd’s team took him up on his own offer.
In that context, Ryan Garcia, Teofimo, Haney are all too green to fight anyone more experienced? I’d that the logic?
How old was SRL when he fought Duran? Was he too green?
Is Boots Ennis “too green” for Crawford or Spence?

Pacquiao started in 1995. Mind blowing.

There will never be another fighter like him.

KISS with Ace and Peter would be a worse train wreck than it is now. Peter can barely play anymore and Ace’s playing is embarrassing and has been for years. You should check out the video where he’s giving a lesson how to play “Shock Me”, on YouTube. Pacquiao is much closer to his prime than any member of KISS but that’s not saying much. Gene Simmons is the only original member who has performing ability left. They were a great band but at this stage they’re a shell of what they were even 15 years ago.

Gene can still sing...I think Paul has had two hip replacements.

They should do an unplugged concert of the Elder, with selections from the worst songs on Unmasked and Hot in the Shade.

I like a lot of songs from The Elder and Hot In The Shade even though there's quite a bit of crap to be found on those albums too. With Paul's damaged vocal chords, I'm not confident that they could pull off a good unplugged set now days. Maybe if they pick and choose their songs REALLY carefully and get Eric Singer to help Paul out with some of his vocals. Back in 1994-95 they did some great unplugged shows. Stanley's voice was great back then. I agree that Gene still sings fine.

I also liked the Elder and the Unplugged ones from the 90s.

It would be nice if the whole group got back together, but that doesn't look likely.

Fraud made up his own weight classes as well, remember him completely missing weight for Marquez, making Canelo drain himself down even though Fraud had fought at 154 prior, or how about completely avoiding and Martinez even though both of them said they could make 154 to fight Fraud. Or should I call him IV Needle, since he liked to stick himself with illegal IV's to hide his PED use, you know the same way Lance Armstrong used to hide his?

Agreed, Correctly said, strong points highlighting the PED user.

Best of his era and holds up in any era. Trumps Floyd runs circles around him.
