Canelo surpasses Floyd, is now second, just behind Pacquiao on the list of greatest fighters of the last 25 years

Wtf does blame have to do with it. It is what it is. Floyd fought and beat a shopworn Manny that he could have fought 10 years earlier if he grew some balls.

If Pacquiao just refrained from getting knocked out the fight could have been a lot sooner. You dont need any balls to beat PAC. How is Pac anyway? The last time i saw him his wife was feeding him noodles and he had sunglasses on

Why is it that posters that don’t like Floyd make guys he didn’t fight out to be so much better than their careers actually were?
.

That's because its understood that styles make fights, and Floyd developed a pattern of avoiding fighters who were tall rangy and could actually box and cherrypicking short, short armed slow, come forward fighters.

36 is slightly past prime? Lmfao.

At least you made clear to all other posters how much of a pathetic dick gobbling f@gg0t you are that you would post that.

Yeah he hadn't lost nothing from Marquez to Berto because he was mainly cherrypicking easy fights

This is one of the dumbest posts of the past 25 years.

I am sorry. I forgot to laugh

..Canelo has yet to hit the canvas face first so he can emulate Pacquiao. Until that happens he will never truly be loved or reach the status of Pacman.......happy now?

The gg g fights were far closer than jmm v pac. When. Is nel o going to fight his kryptonite 4 times, and try to for a ko.
The stars aligned for jmm that night. Pac was robbed fight before so was overly aggressive against jmm

Congratulations to Canelo on a great accomplishment

he already was arguably greater than floyd long before today, but becoming undisputed has sealed the deal

he now only has one more fighter to surpass, then he can ride into sunset

big canelo fan here, but no way, at least not yet...
now if you ask me canelo at 31 > floyd at 31, but floyd did a lot after 31, so it wont be easy...

Tall and rangy? Margs wasn’t that. Pwill never fought like that at any point in his career despite having the frame and arm length.

I mean how many tall, rangy boxers are there from 130-147?

So like I posted these boxers are being made to be better than they were solely because they didn’t fight Floyd.

Literally every opponent had shorter arms and was slower because Floyd has uniquely long arms for someone his size and blistering speed.

They all came forward except Manny and Canelo who were content to lose by wide ud instead of risking getting ktfo.

Which is why these pac ball gobblers are going in.

Manny taking a brutal beating from a low level guy because he needed the money hurts them on many levels.

So now it’s -let’s elevate canelo ahead of Floyd.

I wouldn’t worry. Every time the do this they bring bad karma. They did it with Manny, he got ktfo. They did it with Loma and he got embarrassed. Now these gobblers will bring their boo boo juice to Canelo.

just wait. Canelo is great but he can’t carry all the disgruntled losers that hate Floyd.

This. Floyd gets flack for avoiding Paul Williams? So instead of Hatton, Marquez, Mosley, 2 definite HOF and 1 world class fighter in Hatton. He subs in Paul Williams for one of them. People would now be saying he avoided Mosley, Cotto etc. There would always be someone he "avoided" according to the haters. Canelo is a great fighter, probably the best we have currently, I take nothing away from him. But placing him above Floyd just doesn't make sense. Every "test" fight that Canelo has had, have been very favorable decisions for him. Lara, Trout, both Golovkin fights. When Floyd stepped up, the 'test fights' he usually won with flying colors. Genaro Hernandez, Diego Corrales, Gatti, De La Hoya, Pacquiao, etc.
