Comments Thread For: Saul Alvarez: I'll Drop To 150 For Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Doesn't really matter now Canelo is the top dawg now. Floyd can't keep his name out of his mouth but won't risk fighting him.

Saul was always getting a bit excited after a fight.
Remember the "Mexicans don't **** around rant" LOL
It turned into a PR disaster when he just dropped the belt rather than fight Golovkin.

you're questioning why a retired 44 year old fighter won't fight one of the top fighters in the world in their prime??? lol. Is this a joke? And I don't even like Mayweather. I rarely have anything nice to say about him, but this is just sillyh.

We know what that's worth.

Just in case ya'll forgot. All this talk about "He was drained". He was the one who asked for the weight.

"when the (fight) negotiations started, they wanted me to go to 147. I said that's physically impossible. I couldn't do it. Then they inched up to 150. I said I can't do it, that's impossible. Those days are over. I can't make that weight anymore, I've grown. "Then they went up to 151. And then finally, so we could make the fight, I said, 'If anything, I'll give up two pounds. I'll go up to 152. I agreed to that. Then they tried to force me to be quiet and not to mention anything that they came up with the weight of 152. And that's why ... I haven't said anything until now.

Mayweather fans, Ya'll are the weirdest, most juvenile fans in sports.

"We just took advantage of a situation. It's no different from basketball, football or baseball," he said. "You're always going to put your opposition at a disadvantage, if you can. You break 'em down and you go in for the kill."


Ellerbe on that situation, and just on Floyd in general. Lol.

Floyd was a great boxer, but his fans' insistence on burying their heads in the sand about what he did is crazy lol.

Here is his own damn manager admitting it

As silly as it may seem, 40 year olds have beat great fighters they shouldnt have beat. Its aliean to floyd fans to ask floyd to try do something thats never been done often?
Didnt Pac beat thurman at 42? Didnt foreman beat Moorer at 44 or 43? Didnt Hopkins beat so and so over 45? Why cant people ask floyd to do something they dont think he can?

What do you make of Ellerbe's comments there?
