Comments Thread For: Canelo Brushes Off The Comments of Floyd Mayweather Jr.

[bray26]

What do you mean bro?? Everyone at 154 has wanted to fight him for some time. In fact after Trout beat Delvin & K-9 beat Spinks both called him out. Lara's called him out & Vanes actually refused to fight Lara again if he didn't get a signed guaranteed (eerily similar to canelo's demand of Floyd).

In short the entire division has been gunning for his head. But for whatever reason, small, shot or old fighters were deemed more fitting than the best at 154. I hope you're not twisted enough to believe the division was ducking "him", cause that'd be crazy.

No not ducking him, see ducking is not a term I use. What I said are big name stars. Of course the fighters of his division want to fight him, he's the biggest pay day they can get in the division! When we start talking about fighters that are at the top of the sport whether by talent or earning potential, they shouldn't fight backwards. I believe like you he was protected to get to this point. But now he's as large as he can get without any big time wins on his résumé. So now he has to fight trout! After that, if he wins, who does he fight in the division that's not a backwards step? If its not Floyd or Sergio, where does he go that's not a backwards step? Sergio was a star calling out Jr. He wanted that fight, it was a big day and what he was an easy win. And he didn't care Jr was untested. Why doesn't Floyd feel the same way. That's where we initially started in our talk. So no I'm not saying other fighters a ducking him I'm asking why fighters that could put on a PPV type of fight with him not calling him out and trying to get that payday and win. Even a guy like Sergio. Because all the fighters you named are good fighters and fighters he should have faced already, but they positioning him for a PPV and those guys can't bring that. So why not a top guy, take his scalp for the wall if he's a easy win and a pay day? But all that said he has done himself and his credibility a disservice by not solidifying his record with names like Lara, Angulo, and Kirkland

He owned Floyd in a mature way. If you didn't know any better, you would have thought he was the 36 year old man and not the 23 year old.

I know Chavez called him out but canelo didn't want none. As far as Martinez, I really can't say about him and Floyd. For the record I personally don't go looking for ppv stars. And also canelo has never headlined a major ppv himself. Therefore if the fighters who've headlined them called him out, he'd still basically be piggy backing off of them anyway.

Floyd just got a lesson from this kid. Owned, totally owned. He may be a little untested in the ring but he is a cool cat indeed.

How?? Floyd will still make his millions and canelo might be on the comeback trail after April.

If it had been the other way round you'd have said the exact opposite

I'll never understand how some fans role. I mean how does one be a fan of canelo and Bradley?? They couldn't be more different. One was born with a golden spoon up his a$$, the other fought tooth and nail for everything he's gotten from the sport.

Canelo's a G

Respect

That would never happen though, FLoyd would call him a freckle faced punk, or a say that he would beat him like a red-headed stepchild. Like he made those dog eating comments about Pac.

It's a difference in character, you can't change Floyd, he is who he is.

[EAAE]

He handles himself well for a young star, his attention should be completely on Trout right now, he has his hands full in that fight.
