The Floyd fans those for and against Floyd/ginger.

it's impossible to take seriously any discussions involving a fighter that the TS calls "ginger."


sorry, bushy.

Canelo does not deserve a Mayweather fight. He needs to fight Trout and prove he's worthy. If Canelo is not gonna fight Trout then Floyd needs to. That's a fight he can actually get credit for...

Agreed on all points.

[Bushbaby]

The boy is improving every single fight. You sit up and talk about deserve this and deserve that and in your next breath you bring up a gate keeper like Delvin Rodriguez. I know we cant come to any understanding. At the end of the day Trout is ok. Nothing too special and easy to forget.

Trout's better than ginger & ginger is not the best at 154. By your own logic I might add.

People just wanna see floyd fight bigger guys so they can see him lose floyd went to 154 twice and in doing so he fought two guys who weren't natural light middleweights cotto won his first title at light welterweight and is small at the weight and oscar won his first title at super featherweight. I think there's a point were floyd needs to draw the line flpyd will always be in a lose lose situation because if he beat sergio at 154 they'll blame sergios weight drained and old and if he beats alvarez then they'll say alverez is a hype job saying that though i'd like to see him fight alverez because the 147 division is pretty much been cleaned by may n pac. And i see alverez having a serious weight advantage over floyd which could end up being the end for floyds reign (though it is highly unlikely)

sorry, bushy.

It's alright brother. The tread is doing fine with or without you.

I am a fan of Floyd - not to the obsequious extent of the likes of Larry, but a fan nonetheless - and I am against it. Alvarez's best win is over a shot to pieces Shane Mosley fighting at a weight he has consistently been terrible at. It's a C- victory at best. In his last fight he fought a career light-welterweight. That's the caliber of opposition Alvarez is comfortable with.

Floyd Mayweather is the best fighter in the world, which means acting like the best fighter in the world; if he's going to fight at 154, get in the ring with someone who has some pedigree and possess a risk, if not fight the #1 contender for your belt.

Fine fine post.

[The Big Dunn]

It means he is cashing out. If I was scheduled to fight Mayweather should I receive praise? No I shouldn't because I'm doing what any person in my position would do.

Bottom line is Canelo has not beaten anyone to justify a fight with Floyd Mayweather, he's spent his time beating on shot fighters, crap fighters or fighters who are too small for the division.

If he's to beat a decent Light Middleweight the fight gains merit otherwise it is a sham in my eyes.

Only problem with this post is it implies floyd and canelo are in the same weight class, which they are not. Yes floyd holds a title at 154 and has held it twice. But a Canelo fight is the same as the ODH/Cotto fights-floyd gives up weight to inferior fighters in order to make the fights look more competitive and earn some serious money. From that perspective, Canelo has "earned" a floyd fight.

from a competition standpoint, if you assume Floyd is the best 154lb fighter in the world, than Canelo has not done enough in the ring to "earn" a shot at the crown.

you say ginger does ot fight anyone bush...if he fights floyd that is fighting the best so whats the issue?

this guy

Type and hype, type and hype.Canelo hasn't done **** to be worthy of some golden ace on Mayweathers resume like you guys desperately want.Why because he's 'young and undefeated?' I know allot of boxers like that but Canelo is far from the 'best'.

IMO Canelo wins the fight. Lets go slow. IYO Trout's the better guy. Dont try that "your logic" sh#t to say what you really believe. Man up! The fact is that neither has done anything so special that they stand alone in the Mayweather bid. They both beat freshly beaten guys in Cotto and Mosley. A fact is that Canelo is the better draw and woulld make for a much bigger event. At the end of the day Floyd decides who he wants to fight next. It would make him a ***in dummy to throw away the Canelo money to prove something to you. Its really become a bigger deal than it is in actuality. Bottom line is that you hate Alvarez and cant be sensible on any subject pertaining to him.
