Mayweather would have NEVER taken such a risk

No one cared about Pac.
The level of greatness began and ended with May.

Pac couldn't put a dent in Baby Margarito
Ishida would kill Pac
Pac would force 12 *'s on Ishida

In other words the truth hurts so let me make this about Manny

Stop with the betting odds my guy. Betting odds mean one thing and one thing only; who's the more popular boxer. It is in no way a representation of who's the better boxer or more dangerous boxer or more skilled boxer. It does not equate to some video game equation where one guy has more hit points than the other guy by fivefold. It means on who most of the population is putting its money, which often equates to who is the most popular. That's it.

This is not completely it.You don’t get favored to win if you don’t have a certain set of skills to achieve victory.

Ali and Floyd have never been the most popular but have been favored in fights because they are that good. Despite being that good, there are fights where they have been underdogs.

While I completely get your point about popularity, Teo wasn’t more popular than Loma, Floyd wasn’t more popular than Manny.

With Bivol v Canelo, many boxing media experts picked Canelo to win. Very few picked Bivol.

This was a massive upset not just because of the odds.

Lmfao.

Shut the fuck up f@gg0t. You’ve been told this for years yet based winning on whose nutsack you were washing with your mouth. When proven wrong you double down on cum gurgling.

To move up to a weight class where he would be giving away a size advantage and IMMEDIATELY take on one of the undefeated champions who stylistically would be a nightmare. History will be kinder to Canelo. He’s a throwback fighter. Remember, it’s Mayweather who said “I don’t put myself in a position where I might lose”.

Actually, Money May has been there and done that. As a matter of fact, he has taken five of those risks and gambles throughout his career and they have all paid off.

Remember that he started his career at one 130 and managed to win titles in five different weight classes against all naturally larger and stronger opponents; Which is something that Canelo has failed to do.

i dont know but most people didnt see it as some massive challenge, i read the ring predictions cant remember exactly but they asked about 20 or so 'experts' and not one picked bivol to win, a few had canelo blasting him out easily. now canelo fans are shifting things as if he was fighting king kong and never had a chance... i will hold my hands up even i thought canelo would win i didnt think he would get make to look like a ****ing bum.... but im glad he did lmfao all them threads about how does canelo do against (insert ATG here) how does he match up against usyk at cruiser, could he win a belt at heavyweight and then first fight in a good weight class against a prime champion and he looked like a ****ing novice lmao, the worst thing is i was telling my family before the fight that canelos really skillful, considered p4p number 1 by many and now they dont take my opinion seriously after watching him hitting air and arms all night plodding after bivol

You should have listened to me. I told you an predicted clearly Bivol to win, but you laughed.

I don`t have to read boxing "experts" to know something about boxing. How was blown up middleweight seen as favorite fighting unbeaten light heavy is beyond me.

Shouldve rephrased the post. Its not about Floyd would never take the risk. He moved up a few weight classes and fought and won. What Floyd wouldnt have done is move up to a huge weightclass as Saul had done. Floyd constantly stayed at his fighting weight. Saul has ALWAYS been a BIG mofo. His fans used to cry "he's not a middleweight" while coming into fight nights 20 and almost 30lbs more than his opps when he was fighting at '54, i mean '55, i mean '64.......you know, his caneloweights.....

And no, not a fan of either of em.

I didn’t say famous, I said popular. 2 very different things. Both were polarizing so half liked them and half despised them. They just expert pimped those that hated them.

154 was a huge weight class for Floyd. Come on man. Now if you’re point is maybe he could’ve done MW, ok.
