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

[LADIV]

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

he weighed 4 pounds more at the weigh in and had to loose them the day of the fight and he refused to weigh himself at fight night,he didnt disclose his weight and thats why he had to pay marquez $600,000 more in order for the fight to go on. get your facts straight.

DE la hoya is promting.that said.canelo is taylor made for mayweather.trout didnt move enough nor was he offensive mind also.mayweather moves,counters and give canelo a boxing lesson.

you must have put your money on trout and lost..and we get it already you are a floyd mayweather fan but this is not about floyd its about canelo and trout.canelo won deal with it and quit hateing on the ginger man

lol.

You know they said the same about Marquez, De la Hoya, Hatton, Mosley & Cotto.
He would take Canelo to school no problem. But as soon as he does, people like you will say: "Well he wasn't that good anyway. ***** Mayweather will never fight Bradley". and so it goes.

Who mentioned Marquez? Who said he can win at 146lbs when he never had fought at 140 nor 147?

Two of those you mentioned did squat at 147 ...they had fought 1 fight between them at 147 ..... lets see Floyd go up to 160 and fight the top 2 fighters there ..... Floyd fans are saying its not fair to fight Martinez at 154 ...... lol!

Cotto: Go check out some interviews of Floyd months before signing the contract. "Cotto was in too many wars, flat-footed, even lost to Clottey ...."

Mosley: "My Game plan: I will take into consideration that Mosley is OLD"

Oscar: Last night he said he was over the hill fighter and couldn't stay consistent as it was an easy fight for him for the first half of the fight. His trainer said Oscar can't pull the trigger anymore

You will always get people to say that so and so will beat Floyd. Especially if they are a huge fan.

In reality, Canelo needs more time and needs to figure out his huge stamina issues. Floyd knew that ..... he wanted Canelo before when Canelo was very green .... soon he may change his mind.

Wrong. Team Mayweather informed Team Marquez a week before the fight that Floyd would be unable to make weight. Team Mayweather faxed Team Marquez an amended contract for the fight to be at 147 to avoid NSAC penalties. Team Marquez complied and were given $600k compensation for amending the fight contract. The fight was officially held at 147 due to the amended contract.

Don't just make **** up when it suits you.

I'll be quite honest...

Floyd may wanna think twice about a Canelo fight. I was a Canelo doubter to an extent, but last night he showed me he can hang with the best of them anywhere around his weight class. He improved his defense / head movement (still not perfect) and was very assertive and accurate let alone having legit power at 154. He also countered a lot better than I expected.

I see people talking about how Floyd will outbox Canelo no problem, UD, etc. But I believe some people are still stuck in the era of when Floyd was at his peak (which I don't think he's been at for a little while). Gauging the Cotto fight and what Cotto was able to do, you got a guy like Canelo who's faster, harder puncher, and simply and overall bigger fighter. Canelo was what, 172lbs the night of the fight? What's Floyd...148-150? I mean, these are things to really consider regardless of how much of a wizard Floyd is defensively. Also, Floyd's a spot fighter just like Canelo, and Trout in comparison is a rangier fighter, much more active which I think added to Canelo's fatigue. A 37 year old Floyd IMO isn't going to be that active to do that.

I'm very interested to see how Floyd looks against Guerrero because if he does win, you better believe the demand is going to be through the roof for that fight to be made.

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

They were scheduled to fight and Floyd backed out? When did that happen?

ROFL at you taking what Floyd says at face value i bet you believe him when he says pac was ducking him too dont ya

[Supreme Being]

from what i saw last night. mayweather takes canelo to school. he'll put a boxing lesson on the kid like he has never seen before.

I don't like your idol but you're right on this one after last night MONEY May will play with this Kid.

[FrankieClutch]

Regardless of how you feel the outcome of the fight could be, what other options does Floyd have?

The Bradley vs. Marquez winner? (God, please no.)

I'd like to see Canelo vs Floyd. I think it would be a great fight.
