Comments Thread For: Trout: Canelo Might Be Too Big For Mayweather Jr.

[TLC8]

Somebody Tell Trout Floyd Junior Would NEVER Get In The Ring With Canelo

He wont' fight Pacquiao, he wouldn't fight Sergio Martinez. There is ZERO chance he'd figth Canelo. If Canelo weighed 170 on fight night for Trout, then that means Trout probably weighed 180/185. Floyd is a weasel and only hand pickes opponents. He doesn't have the kahonies that a Ray Leonard, or Tommy Hearns had, who both went all the way up to Light Heavyweight looking for challenges. Ray Leonard retired for 5 years, came back with NO tune up fght to take on Marvin Hagler. Nobody has the ballz to do that. Floyd Junior does not have those kahonies. So stop talking about what a fight might look like between Floyd and Canelo, which is as likely as Floyd fighting Klitschko. NEVER. Floyd wouldn't even fight Trout!!! Floyd won't fight Andre Ward! Floyd won't even fight a 48 year old Bernard Hopkins!!!!!

Nelo who comes to the ring rocking 170 plus pounds is too big to be fighting WWs....even if the WW is named Mayweather...nobody in their right mind should be dis*****g that

is Floyd BETTER than Nelo...**** yea, again, NOBODY in their right mind should be dis*****g that....dudes who say Floyd would lose due to him being the smaller dude and puncher would not feel comfortable if the fight was fought at 147 or 150....so when cats say Nelo is skilled enough to beat Floyd, don't buy that ****....age and size is what the majority is banking on...no skills!!....because if they were, it can be made at ANY weight in their eyes

Nelo should fight Ward if he wants to be the P4P king...not Mayweather...but hey...I guess desperation has really kicked in with the anti-Floyd crowd....those cats celebrate anything negative concerning Floyd...ANYTHING!!

Manny was eating extra meals to try to make better weight at WW division against these bigger WWs. Manny came in at 142, 143, 144 while his opponents came in at 160+.

Floyd doesn't have to do anything he doesn't want even though he is the 154 title holder and even though he is #1 P4P and even though he says he is GOAT and even though he and his team says "It's skills that pays the bills not size"

Again, Floyd does not have to do what he doesn't ..... but to me that is business as usual. Carry on fighting guys that just moved up to WW division. Now that is way way more fair! lol!

Fights are WW:
- Hatton = 1
- Marquez = 0
- Sharmba = 1
- Guerero = 2
- Ortiz = 1

Khan was supposed to be next and funny that Floyd wanted Canelo 1 or 2 years ago when he was way way too green. I still think Canelo has a ways to go and has to resolve his stamina issues. So that is why I still see Floyd being favored to win.

How much did Margarito, Clottey, Cotto outweigh Manny? How much did Ortiz and Cotto outweigh Floyd?

Canelo will be in similar range as those other guys. In fact, it may be a detriment to Canelo if he comes in too high because that means that he can become much more weaker trying to make weight. That might be why Canelo has stamina issues. Or one of the factors that contribute to Canelo's issues.

Canelo may be wiser to train better and lose the weight better. This may in fact be an advantage for Floyd. Even Floyd says this in a recent interview

Ray Leonard and Tommy Hearns went all the way up to Light Heavyweight for challenges and were successful. Took huge balls to do that, of which Floyd will never have. Mosley went up to 160 to fight Winky Wright twice, and Vernon Forrest twice who both outweighed Mosley by 25lbs or more. Oscar went up to fight Hopkins and got stopped with a body shot. Margarito outweighed Pacquiao by more than 25lbs; Margarito weighed 175 the night of the fight! Floyd is NEVER going to fight Canelo, period. A shot, well past his prime, Cotto, bloodied Floyd for 12 rounds. Mosley at 40 years old, nearly had Floyd KO'd in 2! Junior will never fight Canelo.

Unless Mayweather vacates his belt at JMW this fight should happen.

True greats prove themselves by taking real challenges. Floyd is picking on career lightweights. Who has Floyd fought were he was thought to be at a disadvantage at least in size/strength? Marquez did it against him. Hatton as well.

MGM Grand, Las Vegas - Two weeks have passed since Austin Trout (26-1, 14KOs) lost a close twelve round unanimous decision to newly unified WBC/WBA junior middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-0, 30KOs). If Mayweather is able to overcome Robert "The Ghost' Guerrero on Saturday night, the anticipation would continue to build for a future showdown with Canelo.

Anyone who believes this will also believe in the Easter Bunny and the tooth fairy. Alvarez couldn't beat Ishe Smith, Cotto or version of ODLH that Mayweather beat, let alone Mayweather. 160 is too big for Mayweather, but not 154. No one from 140 to 154 beats Mayweather.

I haven't heard just yet that until last week Canelo was fighting JWW, now he wants to cash in with Floyd, and he will b taken to school, keep beleiving in the hype...

Floyd knows that the window of opportunity is closing. He wanted Canelo 1 to 2 years ago when he was way too green. Even now, Canelo has work to do. If Canelo fixes his issues then at that point, I know Floyd will not fight Canelo. The window is still there at this point in time ....

You are correct. All the great fighters fought bigger guys but Floyd will not unless the fighter is old and past his prime or too green or has no chance.

I find it interesting that the shot, past his prime Cotto is the guy that Schafer wanted to fight Alvarez instead of Trout and Alvarez already fought the 40-year old Mosley that Floyd and Pac already beat. Schafer will probably try to make Alvarez/Guerrero after Floyd beats Guerrero or maybe he will line up Andre Berto or Jose Luis Castillo for Alvarez's next fight. You are so full of s..t that I am surprised you haven't drowned in it.

Mayweather has been facing naturally larger and stronger opponents for much of his professional career. Let's not forget that he has already jumped five different weight classes (130, 135, 140, 147 and 154) to challenge bigger opponents.

As far as Thomas Hearns and Sugar Ray Leonard is concerned; Both of these fighters body frames are much larger than Floyd's. Neither weighed or fought at the 130 lbs division as professionals. They both started their respective careers at a 147 lbs; Which so happens to be Money's peak weight.

Lastly, Mosley challenged Winky Wright at the 154 lbs divison. As of my knowledge up to date; Shane has never competed at the 160 lbs Middleweight division in his career.
