Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Sr. is Not Impressed With Canelo

[hugh grant]

Canelo may not be ready to beat FLoyd, but anything can happen on any given day. Canelo may be ready to beat FLoyd at a later time and space, but Floyd may be long gone by then.

But if Canelo is the best option to fight Floyd cos there is weak fighters left right and centre right now, Canelo is ready and is ready and willing to take the test.

oh then itll be martinez or golovkin, u know natural 160 lbers. the new thing is finding someone BIG enough to beat floyd

Martinez could have come down to 154 and fight Floyd but Floyd didn't want any of Martinez because Martinez is more of a complete package. Floyd admitted it by saying that Martinez should fight Ward. Also by not taking the fight. Hey, Floyd was willing and ready when a small Marquez challenged him (excuse).

Martinez, a relatively small middleweight went up to middleweight to get some fights. Hard to see him going up one more division at his age and with all those injuries that he is getting now.

The point is that the Floyd team knew that Martinez represented REAL THREAT. So no attempt to fight him.

oh please with the martinez crap. floyd was right on what he said, martinez fights at middleweight and floyd fights at ww. its that simple. if floyd chooses to go to 154 thats one thing, but martinez hasnt been at that weight for nearly half a decade and chances are he cant make the weight comfortably. the fight was never gonna happen and martinez did no go out of his way to make it happen probably because he knew he probably couldnt make the weight.

Floyd should fight Sergio at 154 as Sergio has shown he is quite vulnerable right now. Floyd would have good chance to beat Sergio and keep his zero which is what it is all about for Floyd.

Sergio would take the fight at a jump of a hat and the public would want it, no matter what FLoyd claims.
The only reason floyd wouldnt want the fight is if he dont think he can beat Sergio....there is no other reason. As he cant use the exuse it wouldnt make money.

Floyd Sr says if Floyd just moves and touches him he will win. Which means if he just runs and pot shot he will win. Which I agree he would prolly win that type of fight. And that's a ***** ass way to win a fight, pot shot and run. Ill pass on that fight because Canelo is the only one it that fight that's trying to take risk and win. Recently I heard a Mike Tyson interview where he was ask what it will take for boxing to return to the forfront of sports. Tyson's response was boxing needs to get rid of the business first type fighters. He was talking about how fighters nowadays are only fighting guys who pose little risk for big payday and he says the sporting public dont want to see that. Tyson said fighters don't take the risk they use to take and now adays they fight like woman. I agree with what he said. Now that boxings biggest star is Floyd and how he is a businessman first type fighter and how he rarely take risk when it comes to his career boxing will never be mainstream. I mean when was the last time Floyd fought a fighter that the public was clamering for him to fight?

That's what I'm saying. The competition and money at 154 is a lot better than the MW Euro's Martinez has been fighting. If he actually campaigned at 154 he could have set himself up nicely for a fight, but he's only willing to go to 154 if Mayweather gives hi a promise to fight. The only logical conclusion I can draw is that he'd have a hell of a time getting down to 154. If he wanted Mayweather that badly it would make the most sense to actually campaign at 154, but he hasn't been there in nearly 5 years.

Martinez has called out Floyd for years now. So did P Williams when he could have even made 147/154. So don't pretend that I'm just talking about now which I'm not. In fact, the window is almost shut now for reasons that you pointed to and being that Martinez is injured and getting older. Martinez will be ~39 by the time that there is another chance. So then yes, at 39 it would have to be at a higher CW, I presume BUT I was talking about the past more than the future!

If Floyd can give a guy like Guerrero and Marquez who went up 2-3 divisions the opportunity even though they did NOTHING at 140/147 then Martinez/Williams should have as well. Man, Floyd even said that he barely knew who Guerrero was. I see all that but most Floyd fans can't for some reason or another!

ok buddy so when exactly did martinez and floyd have a realistic opportunity at fighting??? because when martinez campaigned at 154, there was absolutely zero interest in that fight. it wasnt until martinez racked up wins over pavlik, williams and dinzurik that anyone even thought about that fight. by that time, martinez was already a full fledged mw, which is why he and pwill fought at a catchweight, which was against what martinez wanted in fact. so please tell me again when was this fight supposed to happen realistically?

So when did Marquez and Guerrero have a realistic chance of fighting yet those fights were made? Marquez did NOTHING at 140/147 and had just moved up to 135. Similar story with Guerrero in 2012 it was not realistic then one year later BAM, it happened!

If Floyd wanted to it was there. Just like Marquez and Guerrero got Floyd because they challenged him then why not P. Williams and Martinez who have challenged him too?

By the way, Martinez said that he was even willing to go down further than 154 so 154 would NOT have been the issue that you say it was. Williams said he could fight even at 147.

The window of opportunity was there but Floyd shut that window as he was feeling mighty cold about it!
