Comments Thread For: Mayweather: If I Beat Canelo, They Will Create More Foes

[rasdun]

One thing about combat sports Floyd, you NEVER run out of foes. When you're the best, the fans and media want you to fight the next best guy.

Of course -he's making excuses already for another duck. No shame. Its actually quite pathetic. There are good challenges but Floyd is better at matchmaking and promoting himself than taking tough challenges Canelo is the new Pac whoo was the new Margarito etc etc. Even though he would've won vs many if the fighters he ducked and elevated his all-time status, he will never take a fight that he deems as a risk

so if he fights canelo at 37 yrs old does that mean you all have been wrong about this ducking crap? or will u just move on to someone else thats his point and hes right thats exactly what people will do even if he wins which he will

Shane Mosley was the #1 ranked welter at the time, coming off of the best win of his career. He was not in his prime, and neither was Floyd. Ortiz was the #1 ranked welter at the time, and in his prime. Cotto was the #1 ranked jr middle. He was not in his prime and neither was Floyd. Guerrero was the#3 ranked welter, because Floyd already beat the hell out of the #2 guy. And Guerrero was in his prime and the only threat in the weight class. What is wrong with these opponents? Seriously, ask yourself that question. Maybe you want to see this past prime Floyd fight the up an coming prime fighters. Nothing wrong with that, but don't act as if Floyd isn't fighting legitimate competition. Canelo has 1 legit win under his belt, Sergio is injured, a legit middle weight, and is on the decline. And Pacquiao is on a losing streak. You tell me what you want Floyd to do.

Ok, Shane wasn't coming off the best win of his career. He was coming off a Margarito win yes, but he was also turning 40 lol. Pacquiao was the fight then as it was when he fought Ortiz. Cotto, ok that was probably the best option considering Pacquiao was fighting Bradley. You also left out the fact he chose JMM instead of Margarito or Cotto then. But Guerrero? If it was a tune up for a big fight to come, ok but that doesn't seem like the case.

I hate when Floyd plays the victim. What does he mean "they'd come up with another opponent", "they're going to keep making opponents"? Who's "they"? GBP is the one whose putting their fighters in great positions and then hyping them up as the one to fight/beat Floyd. Sure he's not talking about the fans cuz they continue to purchase tickets/PPVs regardless of who he fights. It's not like Floyd can fight himself, can he?

What Floyd is saying is that every world champion he have faced that y'all said will give him his first loss, he has dominated and made to look like c-class fighters. Instead of giving him his props y'all downplay his victory calling him a cherry picker, and calling out other fighter names when he just dominated the boogie monster, at least let his win set in before calling out other names. It's a funny thing how Robert Guerrero, who hadn't loss in eight years winning multiple championships along the way by some of y'all standard wasn't a worthy opponent for Mayweather but y'all here trying to convince the public that Floyd would get credit for fighting Canelo who hasn't done much in his own division, it doesn't add up. So the conclusion is that y'all possess hatred in your heart toward Floyd and want him to lose against a guy that doesn't have the skills to beat him but rather have a huge size advantage, Canelo should be at super middle weight that's why he gasses so early, he's the real fraud. Why not ask him to challenge himself by fighting in his correct weight class, what's the boogie man scared of, his own shadow.

Please Floyd... just fight Canelo & prove everyone wrong... then just retire.

... Just fight Canelo, then Ward, and then B-Hop & prove everyone's wrong... then just retire.

(And don't forget Wladimir also)...

[Cinci Champ]

all these fighters you say he has ducked have been top rank fighters as soon as cotto left top rank mayweather fought him. i think hell fight canelo tho i really do hell have to put some kind weight clause in there tho

[Fetta]

In way its true just the way he said it sounds funny. If he beats canelo then he wont get the credit, we all know he wont, and instead all fans and media will say hes ducking the next fighter already and if he doesnt fight him then hes scared. Usual thing really when it comes to floyd.

[buckdacious]

Mayweather is very true. hes saying, and almost all you guys will do this, is say Canelo is a b class fighter, was to young, Mayweather picked him because he knows in 2 years when hes better that Canelo would be to much. Excuses excuses. its very true.

[Weebler I]

i think floyd is playing at the idea that instead of giving him credit for taking on someone like guerrero there is talk that he is duckinf

I think what he might be saying is that he should be allowed to (cherry)-pick his own opponents, but boxing doesn't work like that.

He who pays the piper calls the tune - and it's the fans who are paying.
