Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Canelo Wants Floyd Mayweather Jr. Next

[Starz20]

How do I know when a fighter poses a legitimate threat to Floyd Mayweather? When his fans come out in flocks to bash and critique the other guy and play offense with a million reasons why Floyd would K.O. or outbox the other guy. We've seen this for Pacquaio, Martinez, Paul Williams, and now Canelo...what do all of these guys have in common..they have an advantage over Floyd in terms of power and some in terms of reach and size. If you hold a belt at 154 defend that belt or vacate it...problem solved...at some point you are going to have to fight the legit men of that division and not some 147lb guy who just happened to move to 154 to take a title from a beatable guy in his decline.

You're a Floyd hater! Canelo is clearly 20-22 pounds heavier than Floyd on fight night, boxing skills Canelo would get destroyed by Floyd! Power Canelo is much stronger... Now if Canelo fought GGG, Kid Chocolate, Martinez, Lara, Ward, people who could take that power he would get his ass whooped. He got a gift decision yesterday!

Like I have been saying for a few weeks, if one of these cats don't take canelo out in the next year or so!! BRONER will be on his ASS chasing canelo, mark my words on this! I PROMISE YOU THAT!

He will fight him. If it makes money it makes sense.

Risk is the missing part of your equation. If it's too risky then there is no fight. Example: Martinez, Manny, Williams, Margarito .....

Your fighter is nothing special. 3-4 years ago, Floyd would have made him look silly in the ring.

Four years ago Canelo was still in high school, idiot. Floyd is still in his prime cause he fights once a year, and runs too much. Canelo has the same number of fights of Floyd and didn´t have amateur experience like Floyd.

4 pounds...Money weighted 147 and Dinameta weighted 142. it didn't matter, Money beat Dinameta on skill, not size.

Marquez had to eat alot of tacos to get that big. That´s not good. Marquez was slow because of that. In a rematch now that Marquez has adpated to 147, he would beat Floyd. Marquez KOed Pacman, the best p4p. Floyd is afraid of Pacman.

i can't belive how people can defend PBF when he backed out of fighting him to begin with ? pbf is gonna retire with that 0 no matter how poor it makes him look to the boxing fans . to be a great skilled fighter and he is , he is a scared little girl about getting that cherry popped . his legacy is he is a punk that ducks real competition

You have a female in you pic shut your punk ass up! And canelo weighed 172 on fight night... he doesn't have much skill at all just power... if he wants Floyd so bad he should come to 147 and have a re-hydration clause and see what will happen when the weight difference is not 20 plus pounds.

No...just no. JMM has 0 advantages over floyd. Power, Speed, Ring Generalship, Accuracy, Stamina, Size....there's nothing there that says JMM can beat Floyd...

oh .... floyd fan to the rescue .....

LESSON #1: There is a difference. When you know the truth and then your Floyd re-confirms it then you gotta believe ......

LESSON #2: Sometimes you just need to wait it out .... Floyd will eventually flip flop.
EXAMPLE: "MANNY YOUR NEXT!!!! ........later ..... I never said Manny was next"

SUMMARY: I think that is the problem with Floyd fans. They can't tell when Floyd is saying the truth or when he is just BSing ....

like how Pacquiao flip flopped on agreeing to cutoffs?

Canelo would lose to Mayweather based on conditioning. Against Trout, he was winded by the 7th round. If Trout had hit him once in the stomach, he would've gone down.

[budfr]

stop hating on floyd, black fighters rule boxing and some of yall can't take it and dont know anything about boxing . Yall hate him so bad to wanna see him fight someone that walks around at 185 and floyd walks around at 147

Yeah, right. STFU.

[SkillspayBills]

Canelo doesn't have the energy or punch output or stamina to take Floyd out. His defense is pretty damn good though.
