Comments Thread For: Merchant Doubts Mayweather vs. Canelo Will Be Next

Canelo didn't even beat Austin Trout last night. How is he going to beat Floyd?

[thuggery]

Trout fans still bitter.

It's such a travesty that Trout was able to admit defeat, admit he was worked, and even admitted to trying his hardest and being the lesser man but his fans won't take a hint. Trout's a classy guy at least. His fans are bringing him down a notch though.

what else is new?!?.....from Pac to Martinez to Canelo....its a new name every other year

and surprise, surprise...he hasn't fought any of them.

Floyd is not ******, he knows he isn't a natural 154 and with his guaranteed contract and safety first approach he won't fight Canelo.

Trout beats Mayweather. I'm not so convinced that Alvarez could do it but it would be a heck of a fight...in short it won't happen.

I have lost a ton of respect for a ton of people on this site since last night..just sitting back and reading the nonsense some of the "supposedly unbiased" people have been posting. First it was let him fight a real guy his size and beat him, then it was let him fight Trout, now it's let him fight Cotto or Lara...i'm sorry I like Floyd but this is bullshhh. The man has a 154 pound belt and is ranked #1 at 154 based off one fight. If you want your boy still ranked that he must fight the best in that division..and that person is CANELO!!! Funny tho..most of you fake azz fans had no issues with him moving up to fight a washed up Cotto..most of you had no issue him claiming to have won a legit belt against a guy about 3 years past his prime but have an issue with him moving up to fight a guy still not even yet in his prime? Listen, I really wish I could yank some of you out of your bodies and have your gods honest soul re-read what the hell you are typing. Trout got cheated? 98% of boxing writers agree the scores were wide but that Trout lost that fight regardless. That's pretty damned unanimous. What's the issue? The kid poses a legitimate threat to your betting cash cow and you know it and it scares the living shhhh out of you.. Many of the same people posting here call folks *******s but hey I saw a hell of a lot more pacquiao fans accept his defeats while ya'll don't even want your guy remotely close to it. I really really am hoping Guerrero takes Floyd's O not because I wish ill on Floyd but because some of ya'll need a damn wake up call. Some of ya'll really need to re-examine your love for the sport and stop thinking the sport revolves around one guy whose been a staple in your fanboyism for 18 years. It's cool I get it, I used to be just like ya'll. I've had boxers I defended tooth and nail but the truth is every boxer needs to prove his mettle when someone arises that's a legit threat. The way ya'll have it...Canelo needs 18 fights over the next 20 months to be worthy of Mayweather and that's bullshhh..either give up your belt and ranking or fight the man. I've seen this bullshhh pulled against paul williams while Paul was in his prime. Can't no legit fan of boxing say Floyd did not duck Paul Williams..he's the sole reason Floyd retired the first damned time..this is the real moment right now where Floyd's fan need to stop discrediting this kid and at least showing some props because many of us who aren't Mayweather fans have given him props when he's earned it perhaps it's your time to do the damned same.

Ring TV had Austin Trout winning the fight 114-113 in their round by round by updates.

And that is an outlet that is even owned by Golden Boy Promotions. Says it all really.

Some fans remain bitter after a loss, I mean at times, Trout was looking like a clueless plodder in there when Canelo was showing off his defensive slickness. He was making Trout look ridiculous and lost in there at times. I'm glad Trout was able to admit defeat though. It's too bad some of his fans don't care to show any class like Trout did.

[ShoulderRoll]

So you're saying that Ring TV has no class?

[thuggery]

It burns so bad! It's okay Trout fans, you'll get over it. Trout's a classy guy, he'll get another title shot. There's always a few bad apples in every fanbase but for the most part they'll get over it. Just give it some time and the pain will go away.

I have to wonder what realm people are living in sometimes. Canelo was supposed to get KO'd and trashed by the best boxer in the world at 154. He was supposed be fighting a legit 154 pounder for the first time in his career, a guy that people said "is huge at 154".

Canelo beats him up, drops him, lands almost 50% of his power shots and actually outboxes a slick, active boxer. Now he has been exposed and it's an easy win for Floyd but at the same time Canelo needs to move up and stop picking on smaller guys???

Man, the hate for this kid is strong

The hate for Floyd is stronger.
