The Floyd Mayweather Jr. master discussion thread. Post here, do not make new threads

[Carpe Diem]

12 months. Enough time for canelo to fight cotto and winner of Angulo/ Lara and a superfight will emerge for May 3rd, 2014.

Meanwhile, Mayweather will turn back the clock and will be in his prime at 26 years old.

my bad, I thought you were trying to say that he still would deserve it but I misread. I agree but my point is that at this point he should beat Cotto and I wont feel sorry for him at all if he loses.

Ortiz beats Berto = deserves a shot at Floyd

Guerrero beats Berto = deserves shot at Floyd


Canelo beats the guy that BEAT Cotto = has to beat Cotto also, then deserves a shot at Floyd


that logic is ******ed

it's sad when you can't make Top Rank vs GBP fights...it's even more sad when you can't make in-house fights

It's true.

Hopefully it doesn't turn into Gamboa-Juanma.

Mayweather's 36 too, he's going to get old overnight quite soon or atleast has a chance.

It's not just Canelo at risk of losing.

The iron might not be at it's hottest it could be, but it's hot enough right now IMO. I want to see it right now but maybe I'm impatient

I don't think he's saying Canelo needs to beat Cotto to deserve a fight with Mayweather. Infact I'm certain he's not saying that.

He's saying that if he beats Cotto, the fight will be much bigger if he beats Cotto. Which is true.

Nah, more of a butt kissing joke. I understand Floyd's your guy, and you ride with him regardless, but dayum son, can he do anything wrong in your eyes, EVER???

Im the fairest dude on this site which is why I dont demand a guy who has been to 5 weight classes fight a guy who is still in his 1st and could have a near 25 pound advantage in the ring. I wont demand that of anyone.

I did say that there was no excuse in the world for the Pac fight not happening. Floyd shouldve made that fight happen. Pac shouldve too but Floyd will take more heat for it.

Also, saying a guy should wait 1 more fight is not saying someone can do know wrong. This isnt even about Floyd. I would be saying the same for any fight or fighter in this situation. Fans just dont care anymore. They want everything yesterday.

The fact is the fight is way more bigger and the event itself is way more bigger in May than in September. The pressure on Floyd to make the fight is also way bigger at that time. You should be wanting Canelo to destroy Cotto because it backs Floyd into a corner with no where to run

are you serious? I want the biggest fight in boxing derailed? Who would want that? Who would root for that? I do like a proper lead up though. I never want to beat the Bulls without Jordan or whatever. I always always want my teams to go through the toughest route but if I had it my way, I would alays have the proper leadup

if Cotto beats Canelo, you go 'oh ok...he didn't deserve it anyway...all good'

if Cotto beats Canelo, i go 'god ****ing damn, there goes another fight wasted'


see the difference?

Ortiz beats Berto = deserves a shot at Floyd

Guerrero beats Berto = deserves shot at Floyd


Canelo beats the guy that BEAT Cotto = has to beat Cotto also, then deserves a shot at Floyd

nice job at twisting words. You didn the same thing in your 1st response. You then and now try to make it sound like he has to beat Cotto to get to Floyd. I never ever once said that so stop twisting it. I simply said it makes it a much bigger fight at that point for boxing. It makes it way more PPVs and it puts way more pressure on Floyd

by how much? when did Cotto become this legendary fighter that everyone and their mom knows...Miguel Cotto hasn't won a fight in 2 years and is 3-3 in his last 6 fights



heck, some say Bradley beat PAC and what did that get him?

back on free HBO


if Showtime can crack 1mil buys vs Guerrero and Floyd got his guarantee, i really dont see why we have to delay

but its not a great fight if he lost to Cotto. Everyone would then call him a hype job and rightfully so. I say what you said when Pac got beat by JMM. If Canelo beats Cotto and then someone else derails him, then I say what you said but one win doesnt make me say that.

Remember, jjust a few months ago this was a joke fight that Canelo didnt deserve. He beat up on all lil guys or washed up guys. He hasnt earned my right to cry if he loses to Cotto.

If he loses to Lara then thats another thing but you should be able to beat Cotto. No excuses for that

did you not just say, a page or so ago, that if he loses to Cotto then he doesn't 'deserve' a Floyd fight?


your words DLT, not mine
