If Canelo struggles/looks bad but wins, should Floyd still fight him?

    We as hardcores lose site sometimes that boxing is a business.
    I think canelo simply has to win, but I agree a KO victory would enahnce Canelo.

They all saw (what some say on this site is Floyd struggling with Cotto) so once they know that Trout (easily to some here) beat Cotto then a Canelo win will be impressive no matter what. Infact, it could be seen as even more impressive if Canelo does have a tough fight with him
      Thats one hell of a spin, but I can see your point.

        I agree with what you're saying, but a struggling Canelo hurts the hype/sales.
        Yeah if you change the question to:

        "Would Canelo-Floyd sell better if Canelo destroys Trout?" then the answer is clearly yes.
        But if Canelo wins he's still the most obvious choice.

          its prize fighting man, we all know the dollar dictates.
          A fighter who faces Floyd NEEDS to be comming in on a high note.

            Why don't you clowns stop mentioning Canelo's name? Do you really think Floyd will fight him if he beats Trout? Who are you kidding? Fact that your idol who calls himself "Money" chose a guy with six fans over a Mexican star means he will never fight the ginger kid.

            Canelo is moving on and realized he will never get a shot at Floyd, win or lose to Trout. You clowns need to start accepting the fact that your idol is a duck. In the first place do you really believe Mayweather will fight in September? You gotta be a bum to believe that.

                  Answer the question. Do you really believe your idol will fight in September? It's a simple question.

                    He can't answer a simple question.

                    These clowns blame everyone else except their idol. That's what makes me puke about these clowns.

                      is that why he moved on or was it becasue floyd wouldn't sign to guarantee him a fight? WOuldn't it make sense for floyd not to guarantee someone a fight on showtime since he has an out in the showtime deal?
