If Canelo beats Trout, Floyd HAS to fight him, right?

[_Gatti_]

He was in wars cause he had no damn choice but to be in a war..why in the hell would floyd go to war when he can outbox you???do you even listen to what you post?

Im sure if Gatti fought all past prime opponents hed out box them too. lol He never cried Peds or test, never retired when things got tough or to duck a rematch with a tough fighter. He had fans that loved him and loved to see him fight WIN or LOSE! Loyal fans! Not a bunch of people tuning in to see him lose like Floyd has! lol Floyds are a dime a dozen. Gatti is a rare find! its hard finding a fighter willing to give all and die in the ring to please his fans! Its nothing to find a sht talking cherry picked promotional marketed fake ass fighter that has organisations protecting his career to benefit their pockets.

LOL. I loved Gatti. There'll never be another.....but "Gatti" and "out box" should very rarely be mentioned together.

How is Trout the best 154 fighter in the world???why does him beating Cotto(who just lost to Floyd)make him the best 154 fighter in the world?

I think Canelo is the best 154 pounder in the world but Trout has to be one of the best and he is the one who Canelo was ducking according to the Canelo haters. If you think your boy Floyd is the best at 154 that's fine. Canelo tried like hell to get Floyd in the ring. The point is Canelo is not ducking anybody. He is willing to fight Trout, Martinez, or Mayweather at 154. Trout beat Cotto by just as wide a point spread as Mayweather did and he did it in Cotto's favorite place to fight. OK, Money Team, you tell me who IS the best 154 pounder in the world? If it's Mayweather then all he has to do is step up to the plate. Golden Boy promotes both Canelo and Floyd so the fight can easily be made if Floyd wants it because Canelo wants it.

Floyd has been special his whole life. Just accept that he has ability and talent that most fighters never had or never will, like him or hate him.

Gatti, rest his soul, got all those fights because the matchmakers knew he would come forward and take a beating, plus he had a large fanbase that supported him. He is the perfect opponent ( like Tito Santana in the wwf) and a great house fighter for AC. Gatti was never a danger to a HOF level fighter, but he looked great losing, so he got fights. If you put him in with an good but not great fighter, ivan robinson or mickey ward, he made great fights. He deserves to be applauded and respected for tgetting the most out of his talent.

Pass the damn sick bucket!

he doesnt have to. maybe he should, but fighting canelo and beating him even after a trout win isnt that big in the scheme of things. itll add to his bank roll but imo, the guy should retire sometime soon because lets face it, nothing he does now will add to his legacy unless he goes on a b-hop like run and i dont see that happening.

Then Floyd's whole Cotto amble pre fight about him fighting him at 154 was what, bull****?

We already know it but Floyd fans need to admit it too.

why? he did fight cotto where he (cotto) was comfortable. doing so he might have realized he himself (floyd) however is not comfortable at 154 and made a wise move not to return.

floyd has very few fights were he looked bad, but both times he boxed at 154 he did just that. he cant carry the weight and is significantly slower. he waited several years before going back to the weight a second time, perhaps he thought he could adapt better after a few more years at WW, clearly thats not the case.

not going there again would be a smart move regardless of who is in the opposite corner. ppl talk as if the only reason he wouldnt fight at 154 again is that canelo is too good, but we already know floyd isnt nearly as good at the weight. common sense tells you the first thing a fighter thinks about is his own ability to perform.

of course the anti floyd trolls will always say it comes down to fear of someone else. take a break=fear, want better PED tests=fear, cant carry the weight=fear. no matter who he fights hes duckign someone else.

remember how guerrero was a terrible fight until he mentioned alexander, then all of a sudden the ghost was a beast who would have destroyed floyd and he knew it. once he goes back to guerrero, guerrero goes back to being an easy fight. i swear to god the day he retires for good ppl will say hes doing it to duck someone, doesnt matter if hes in his 40's.

what fans want vs what makes business sense....until you are able to make this distinction and not blame the fighters/promoters for it you will never be happy as a boxing fan and will always hate certain fighters and promoters.

The fight wit canelo can happen but all parties must be satisfied with how money they are going to get. If one party is unhappy then the fight will not happen, that's just how the business is. Hate to use a corny cliche but "dont hate the player hate the game"
