    Mayweather just repeated the SELF PRESERVATION line with Canelo

    He used this first when people were asking him about Pacquiao, now he is using it with Canelo, although I don't think he is scared of Canelo like he was of Pacquiao, he mentioned he was closer to 40 than 21, and is fighting now for self preservation and to earn money while preserving his health.

    so basically he is cherry picking his next 6 fights. Well Hopkins is nearly 50 and he basically fights all the young guns.

        It could have many meanings really.

        Guys who dont get hit have long shelf lives while those in wars are done quickly or very damaged later in life. Self preservation.

                And here comes Floyds fan base in attack mode to defend his cherry picking



                Pro tip self preservation means he fears the boxer and the possibilty that he may lose.

                  Floyd needs to quit talking about self preservation, and his age....looking for sympathy!

                  JMM fought Pac at 39 years age, and SSM fought Canelo. So why cant Floyd?
                  Floyds such a unique case, he is supposedly a very good fighter, but everyone is too dangerous for him.

                    Which is why I've always favored Bernard's footwork and distance control over Mayweather's shoulder roll and waist dipping. Floyd knows he can't take the same risks. He's far more vulnerable the general public realizes. He realizes though.
