Comments Thread For: Canelo, Morales Eye Mayweather as Pacquiao Plays Out

[UglyPug]

mayweather making comments like "Im the A side", and "I make the offers" is the reason pac fight won't happen. . . mayweather thinks too highly of his ability to sell. . . he will want to be the "A-side" in the promotion for everything and won't negotiate on anything. . .

You're still waiting on someone to show you an article of Mayweather saying he wants to fight Morales or Canelo? I'm still waiting on Mayweather saying he wants to fight Pacquiao (not looking for, focusing on, etc.). I think the last time he had the confidence to do something like that was against Hatton. You never see Mayweather say, "Make the ****ing fight," nowadays. Funny how *****s forget their idol used to say that against a C class fighter.

That would be correct. That would also be why I said it.

The rest of your post has nothing to do with my post.

So Canelo busted up a super old Baldomir and got an early gift stoppage off Gomez. I think Clottey at 154 gets the best of Canelo out of those 3 has-beens you've mentioned at this stage. Cintron may be a bit past it now, but even he might give Canelo something to think about soon. Even though Canelo looks like a mummy making the 154 limit, his team wants no part of a 160 paper champ in Chavez Jr for his biggest low-risk payday. Well, since Canelo is still green and young, it does make a possible Mayweather opponent.

Clottey is complete ****...

Alvarez is a JMW Champion. More of a champion than Margarito was when Pac fought him for a vacant title.

Champions fighting Champions, isn't that what boxing is about? Bob don't seem to think so. Pac only has only fought ONE Champion at WW and it was at a CW. Pac never fought a JMW Champion and he just fought a LW Champion at a WW CW and nearly got beat. Two "Champions" and BOTH at CW's.....

Champions fighting Champions. Mayweather vs Mosley/Ortiz was just that. Mayweather vs Alvarez would also be a Champion fighting a Champion.

Floyd fighting either Canelo or Morales next for May 5th is straight garbage. I have no doubt in my mind that GBP would love and actually pushing for one of these fights to materialize. Especially the Morales fight.

However, there's no indication that Floyd will fight them. Just because GBP want to push these fights. Doesn't mean these are the fights that Floyd wants or will take. Floyd does whatever the hell Floyd wants to do. No one tells him what to do.

So saying that I doubt either fight happens. We will see Floyd take another long hiatus before either of these fights happen.

I do find it hilarious though how some fans are willing to give Floyd a pass if one of these fights go down.

Alvarez is a JMW Champion and if Floyd can not get Pac, Alvarez is a good fight. However, Martinez should be the #1 choice but Alvarez is not by any means a **** fight. It would be a better fight than what Ortiz brought.

But like you said, I don't see either one happening.

It's garbage...Alvarez is whack...Why is anyone impressed by that dude I would never know...Maybe one day he develops into something special. He's young and has a lot of time to learn. But, as of right now. Garbage, that fight is garbage. I wouldn't be surprised if the winner of Marg-Cotto would beat him. He's not ready.

Morales is NOT happening. FLoyd already squashed that rumor on his interview on that one radio station a couple weeks ago. Dan Rafael squashed it as well. Sure, Erik Morales WANTS to fight Floyd, but it ain't happening.

I would love to see see Floyd fight Saul Alvarez.....in May 2013 after Floyd has fought Pac-Khan-Martinez or any combination of them, and after Alvarez has beaten someone like Cotto, Lara, Kirkland, etc.

If Mayweather thinks that Champion vs Champion thing will sell well with Canelo, or Morales for that matter, I'm sure he will do it. But looking back on his fight with Ortiz, it kinda blew their own expectations. I'm sure Khan will bring in good numbers, but there's mysteriously no big press yet. I guess Team Mayweather is dipping their toes in the water to see if the fish will bite their ****** options.
