All this bs talk about Floyd picking a "real challenge" or being in the ring with a "live body" etc. is so ridiculous. It is amazing to me how everyone is a serious challenge until he beats them, then they are a, b, c, etc. I've been around boxing a long time and what I have learned is that a lot of people just hate undefeated brash fighters. They just do. RJJ was hated and the same criticism was leveled against him. Calzaghe was hated too. So many people think oh he is undefeated so he is cherry picking or not fighting challenges. All of this just because the guy is ****y, arrogant, etc. Pac is humble, respectful, and the last 5-6 years of his career has been the epitome of cherry picking, weight draining bs and no one says a word. The double standard is sickening. Floyd beat Castillo, Corrales, Hatton, Ortiz, Judah, Corley, Ndou, Chavez, Sosa, Juuko, Guerrero all in their primes. He beat ODLH and Cotto at their natural weights as well. He embarrassed Shane and JMM, two HOF fighters. I mean this is a guy who has lost maybe 10-15 rounds in probably his entire career. No matter who he beats its the same ****. If he beats Canelo, watch we will hear the same ****. Pac is so worshipped and sure hes humble and entertaining with a pleasing style, I agree. In reality, Pac is not 1/5th the boxer Floyd is from a skill perspective and anyone who knows boxing knows that. Pac fought Morales in his prime and lost. Pac fought JMM in his prime and in reality, lost 3 out of 4, regardless what the judges say. Lost to Bradley in his prime too, even though the decision was shady sure, but Pac did not outclass him at all.
I know people love to hate on him but people need to realize how talented Floyd is. I think 10-20 years from now it is going to sink in. How many gd no name mexican bums did JC Chavez Sr. fight throughout his undefeated career huh? Did anyone say **** then? No. Real boxing fans know and respect the truth and love or hate Floyd he IS the best fighter in the world and THE best fighter of the last 15-20 years. Im fking sick of this bs talk.Comment

Same thing happened with Guerrero. It was a joke a year earlier. So you are right, that was a selective cherry pick on a guy that did nothing much. YET Floyd fans were saying it was a good fight ......
Same old story .....
Canelo still needs a few more fights against good quality opponents and to fix his stamina issues .... but you will forget the ones like me who said that ....
Same old story .....
By the way, Floyd wanted a greener version of Canelo last year. So you are actually agreeing that that would have been ANOTHER selected cherry pick for Floyd but fortunately, Canelo said not yet .....
Same old story .....Comment

Think of it like, you've been dating an ugly fat chick for 3 years, you break up, and immediately get into another relationship with an average-looking girl. To everyone else she's meh, but to you she's a supermodel.

hurts being jealous?this is the problem with showtime guaranteeing cherrypicker $32 mil / fight... cherrypicker has no incentive to make tougher fights... he'll just fight the weakest opponents and he'll still get paid... he doesn't even care about the fans or the promotion or the fight or the legacy anymoreComment

I agree. I see this being like Mayweather Ortiz (maybe no cheapshot but i wouldn't doubt it if he gets a chance lol)Ya Canelo beat Trout, but barley.... to me i thought it was an extremely close fight and wouldn't have been surprised to see trout with the decision at the end. And this was the only decent win he has ever had, besides trout his resume is complete garbage. Canelo throws powerful and nice combos, but half the time he takes the round off, and vs trout he threw like 30 punches per round. Now with mayweather back with SR and fighting more defensive, I don't see a very action filled fight. And the only threat canelo poses to floyd is size.
I would way rather see floyd fight martinez, pacquiao or the winner of the 140 lb tournament. State your opinions and comments please.
Or maybe Martinez Chavez would be a good comparison. I wouldn't be shocked if Canelo catches Mayweather, but I don't think he can winComment
