Where did these fans come from, the one's who are now bigging up Canelo as a great opponent for Mayweather next?
Just a month ago, Canelo was being sh-tted on as an opponent, a lot of people were saying that it would be a cherrypick. When I say a lot of people, I don't mean 2-3 people posters say it and then I go and make a thread about how 1,000 posters are saying this. No, the majority of NSB were playing down Mayweather-Canelo when it looked like it could have been made. Of course not me, I've wanted Mayweather-Canelo for about 1 1/2-2 years now.
So now that the thought of Canelo vs Cotto/Trout for May 4th, gets closer and closer, everybody all of a sudden is saying Canelo would be a great opponent and if Floyd picks to fight him then he is a Top 5 ATG[exaggeration on my part]. Mind you, between this change of heart from those saying Canelo is now a good opponent, Canelo has done nothing new. He beat Lopez, got crapped on as a Mayweather opponent when it was announced that he wanted Floyd. Now, nothing new has happened, no one has done anything, Floyd hasn't fought, Cotto hasn't fought yet which changes later on tonight, and Canelo hasn't fought yet. But somehow things changed now that people see Floyd probably will not get Canelo in May because GBP will do the much better fight Canelo vs [potentially] Cotto.
If you don't understand my wording, here it is in short:
Why do you guys love asking for fights that can not be done, but when they CAN be done you downplay it?
I would not be surprised if Mayweather-Guerrero doesn't happen, anti-Floyd fans will then question why aren't we getting Mayweather-Guerrero, when actually in a current poll right now Canelo is destroying Guerrero as Floyd's next opponent[rightfully so].
Disclaimer: I would love Canelo/Martinez/Pacquiao vs Mayweather next, and just see Guerrero as a decent fight for Floyd. But the fact is Martinez is taken, Pacquiao-Rios is 99.9% signed for April[just like the Mosley/Margarito fights where both fighters were promised to be next, even before Pacquiao's then upcoming fight], and Canelo vs Cotto should pretty much be a lock if Cotto wins.
