Comments Thread For: Canelo: No Mayweather Obsession, Sept. 14 in My Date!

[maguirre]

Let's keep it simple.

So to keep the debate going about the September date, let's now assume that Mayweather vs Canelo will not happen. Let's also assume that Mayweather will fight in September. In that case Mayweather will surely get that date.

Let's now talk about Canelo's options. Let's go from here to simplify things.

Does he have the option of breaking ties with GBP?

[Gary Coleman]

Unless Cotto declines, it will be Canelo-Cotto sometime in September.

Forget about Mayweather-Canelo...for now. I'd love to see Canelo fight Vanes Martirosyan. A better matchup than Trout.

You dont think marquez is that good?? failed to mentioned how it was fair to make marquez move up 2 weight classes, to a weight he's never fought in before.. which to me really didnt do ANYTHING for his legacy.. you have a young primed, or semi primed 154, place he's fought before, champion with a huge following.. equals huge money.. but that does nothing for him? manny and him ran around each other for years.. that do anything for his legacy? or tell me.. i fighting guerrero, who has done nothing but beat berto, aydin really help out his legacy?

I agree with you regarding JMM and the weight class. But these guys drop so much weight to make a certain weight class. The only fight that cements Floyd's legacy is Pacquiao. Canelo could have 2 fights right now that would be as big if not bigger than a Floyd, Chavez or Martinez. If i'm Floyd, if Canelo wants to fight, we fight at 147. My terms, I got the most to lose.

You mean Money Mayweather is not really interested in fighting Canelo. Okay, let's get that out of the way then and talk about something else.

I don't know if he is or isn't ...I'm not in his mind but fighting Canelo isn't the end all or be all. He didn't fight Pac-man and financially and career-wise he ended up just fine.

SPeaking of no context whatsoever-when ODH fought floyd, floyd was the best fighter in the world so ODH fought him because he knew he could sell the fight and make money. While I agree floyd can sell this fight and make money Canelo right now is NO WHERE NEAR where floyd was as a fighter when he fought ODH.

Beating floyd then and beating Canelo now are not equal. Is that enough context?

Herein lies the problem with your argument, WHO IS THERE LEFT AT 147 FOR FLOYD TO FIGHT(where it would be competitive)?

If it ends up being cotto vs canelo, I hope it's in MSG!

[theboxingguru]

so he can win belts at 154, but not defend them, and he's supposed to be pfp#1?

lol.

thanks for admitting he's afraid though. guys only ditch belts when they're afraid to defend them.

Canelo fighting blow up 140 lb guys means what?

For the record, Floyd has NEVER weighed even close to 154 in any of his at that weight. Why do you fail to even give credence to the fact that Floyd is a welterweight and Canelo is really a middleweight or maybe a light heavyweight that drops 20-30 lbs to fight at 154

[Mr. Philadel]

Canelo can say whatever he wants. The fact is floyd sells units so floyd will get the date unless he doesn't want it. Its just that simple.

That not Money fault...These boxer should hone their craft.

Flawed argument. Honing your craft does not equate to more PPV success. Refer to Hopkins/Gatti as prime example. Andre Ward for as good as he is, he can't headline a PPV match regardless of who is in front of him. Sad, but true.
