mayweather held to different standardL

Look, is it fair to ask floyd to fight sergio martinez he no, but whys it a problem to fight canelo....floyds foughy at jr middleweight he opened the door, besides floyd is 43-0 undefeated for 16yrs. If u dont think floyd shud be held to a higher stamdard then u have no appreciation for boxer an r on floyds lap....would it be fair dor floyd to just fight welterweights until he retires, why so he can just win with ease, why not hava superfight with canelo....Canelo is a draw hate on him or not dude can draw, an he has shown he will continue to improve an add to his repitoir.....EVERYONE said hes just straightforward fighter,last night he showed amazing headmovement,decent footwork, amazing power, hes the only guy out there within reason to give mayweather a challenge.....maybe u can impose a rehydration limit but cotto came in over 160 i belive so its not unfair to ask floyd to fight canelo, maybe u allow canelo to prove his ppv worth to make the jr middleweight jump for floyd worthwhile...(everytimes hes fought at 154 it was for big money) its either this or just have floyd fight guys like alexander, or bradley guys beat, sometimes a guy needs a career defining win over a IN HIS REAL PRIME TALENT....

Weighing 172 on fight night, Canelo is a damn light heavyweight. He should try to get a fight with Chavez jr.

[cdub2]

And if he's a star, he should try a ppv fight to see if he's a star.

I agree, I would love to see Martinez/Alvarez at 154. That would be a huge fight as well.

Such a fight would be made at 160 only. Martinez is too old to drain himself out for a 154 fight. And Alvarey walked 172 last night.

[paulf]

Floyd won't be fighting at 154 again, regardless.

Floyd faught Cotto at 154,why not Canelo . Floyd won't want to fight Canelo now after see him and Trout go at it.

[Toltec77]

Floyd can fight Canelo next and beat him trout exposed a lot of flaws against a big young fighter in the same weight class Canelo didn't look so dominant like he has against smaller guys which is understandable but he needs to fix his foot work and stop throwing slow loopy punches

Hater your a Gran Mojon!

No excuse, Trout looked as big, so come on, it's boxing and both guys came in at the weight limit.

[Mr. Philadel]

On Saturday night, former HBO analyst Larry Merchant was again in the thick of the action as WBC junior middleweight champion Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez added the WBA bauble to his collection with a unanimous decision victory over former champion Austin Trout.

Calling the contest from ringside for Golden Boy Promotions’ international broadcast, Merchant seemed to favor Alvarez’s precise punching over Trout’s determined fortitude, with a seventh round knockdown scored by ‘Canelo’ certainly helping his cause.

Three judges would agree, as scores of 118-109, 116-111, and 115-112 all favored the Jalisco, Mexico native.

Merchant Doubts Mayweather....the rest of the sentence is irrelevant.....the oldman hates the rich man's guts....what else is new?!?.....from Pac to Martinez to Canelo....its a new name every other year

this ride should be fun though....the Floyd won't fight Canelo talk will turn into Floyd is ducking Canelo screams and when Floyd signs to fight him....dudes will act like they never said that **** and pick Nelo to win and after that turns out to be the wrong pick...Floyd will still be a cherry picking coward to them....you didn't hear it here first, you saw it before...over and over...there's nothing new under the sun!!
