Mayweather would have NEVER taken such a risk

    Popularity can distort odds, its the one thing that can create false favorites.

        Corrales was taller and had a longer reach. Floyd was the underdog.

        Odh was the cash cow and made Floyd wear specific gloves and controlled everything.

        Stop going with the fake and false narratives just because you guys
        hate that Floyd beat your favorites.


        Being the favorite has nothing to do with it, idiot. That 5-1 underdog status shows that it’s mostly casuals who set and bet on the odds. To have Bivol has 5-1 is ridiculous and any serious boxing fan knew better. No way Canelo was going to just walk though this man as he was a 5-1 underdog. And yes, Mayweather fought those bums. They weren’t as proven as Bivol nor in their prime. Just stop.

          Canelo vs Floyd = Floyd vs Kostya Tszyu

          Fight never happened.
          Correct me if I'm wrong

            Aren’t odds determined by how the general public will bet

            Oddmakers are there to make themselves money first

            Bivol was a good but unknown fighter with limited big fight experience. People did not know about him

              You’re wrong in your initial post. Your thread topic is false. nothing you post will make you right,

              Floyd fought the top guy his first time at LW and JMW. Canelo has yet to fight the top LHW.

              Floyd defeated a number of opponents that he was a 4-1 or 5-1 favorite over. He just didn’t lose like canelo.

              You created this thread because not only did canelo lose, he did the same thing he did with Floyd, gave up and didn’t go for the ko win knowing he was way down on the cards.

              Canelo, as great as he is, now has 2 losses where he didn’t even try to win like the warrior you and his other diehard fans claim he is.

              Clearly, that hurts and the only way you know how to deal with it is try and make him braver than Floyd.

              You can’t because as a poster on this site- even one with canelo in his name, you can’t justify quitting like this.

              Canelo has all the same cash cow advantages Floyd, ODH, SRL etc have. What he hasn’t shown is the guts to go for the ko win when down to a superior boxer.

              Yeah he ko’d Old Kov. But Floyd and Bivol ain’t kov.

              Where was the Chavez v Taylor determination to overcome a deficit?

              Where was the guile and grit the great Mexican boxers are known for?

              Bravery isn’t signing to fight Bivol, it’s going balls out and risking a ko loss when you’re way down and only a ko can win.

              This thread can’t make Canelo the man you want him to be. He didn’t go out on his shield. He went out like a rich man knowing he can use his a side advantages in the rematch.

              Sorry Blew Canelo, but you can’t make this any better.

                Bivol is Mayweather's Lara/Golovkin.

                  A lot has been said on this thread but the thread is so true. Floyd wouldn't even fight best in his own division, no thurman, spence, brook, bradley.? I mean how can you literally avoid all of them in your weight class? Floyd achieves the nigh near impossible. I mean we could understand if Floyd didn't fight one of them in his career but to avoid all of them? I'm scratching my head to this day.

                    Thurman, Spence Brook, Bradley,
                    Then from the first ducking of the welterweight division you can throw in Prime Cotto, Prime Manny, Margarito, Paul Williams, etc.

                      Ha look at the Floyd boy trying to dictate the nature of a thread topic.

                      These guys are pathetic.
