Really?? You're a realist?Canelo would retire floyd the avoid mayflower!! To point out to the boxing world critically... Floyd is the problem with boxers nowadays. He's a survivor, not a fighter. He's pound for pound the most boring boxer to watch and this because he has taken the definition of the word 'defense' to a bruce lee level. The art of fighting without actually fighting!
Teddy atlas said it best in an 'unplugged statement during the klitschko vs. Hayes fight.
Ta said, "these guys are just not solid mentally anymore for the most part, a lot of these fighters. You go back to the 20's, 30's and 40's, those guys behaved like fighters. If there was an opportunity to get to a fighter, they had the fortitude to get to them. And not just physically and technically, but mentally and emotionally because they were invested in one thing, if there was an opportunity to do something, you do it. You don't draw a line. These guys draw a line and say, "i'll do enough to survive," or "i'll do enough to be competitive," or "i'll do enough to see what happens." but from a mental standpoint, back in the old days, in anything in our society and as far as a professional place of work, guys wanted to do what was there to do. They had the attitude and there was a hardness. There was a hunger to do whatever it is you were there to do.
If you had a carpenter in the old days and the carpenter came to your house and something wasn't just right with those cabinets, you couldn't throw the damn guy out of your house. He would stay there. He didn't care about the money or getting two more days pay because he was going to be there two more days. He cared about his reputation. He cared that he was supposed to get that done at a certain level and a certain standard. You couldn't throw him out of there without him saying, "i'm coming back tomorrow and i'm going to smooth that out; i'm going to add that and i didn't figure on that, so i'm going to come here and build that up a little bit more." and he would do it because that's what he did because he was a freaking carpenter and he took pride in what he did. There was a demand to be everything that he is supposed to be. The same thing with a doctor. A doctor didn't say, "well, you don't have the coverage, i can't finish the job. I can't come and do a house call because i don't get paid extra for that." no, because they were committed to the job. They were committed to the profession; that they were supposed to behave at all times like a doctor and do what a doctor should do, and that's take care of that patient to whatever level it meant to go to. It was the same thing with the ball player; everything. It wasn't just about what they were getting paid. There was an urgency. It was a developed and committed urgency in everybody to be everything that you could be."
on behalf of ta i would direct this statement to the likes of mayweather and any other boxer only fighting to survive.
Simple. Canelo - fighter(go-getter). Mayflower - survivor! 'nuff said!!
One of the reasons he is earning so many fans.
