Originally posted by Starz20 View PostI could be wrong but when Floyd fought Oscar in 2007 I believe Oscar called all the shots! The weight 154, glove size, ring size, everything. Oscar was the man and the cash cow so Floyd had to respect that if he wanted to fight him.
Now Canelo and his team want Floyd they should respect that he is the cash cow and will call the shots. When Canelo just fought Trout, Canelo made sure that he had a rematch if he loss and it was in Texas, but Trout did not get that same agreement in his contract why? Because Canelo was the main draw!
It happens all the time Pac made Marquez and Bradley and now Rios come up to welterweight to fight him because Pac is the main draw it happens all the time. Dawson came down from 175 to 168 to face Ward because Ward is the man. If Floyd doesn't want to fight a guy who just weighed roughly 172 his last fight than he doesn't have to.
At the end of the day that is the only advantage Canelo has over Floyd is size, if that gets taking away Canelo would get beat a lot worse than what Robert did. He is a patient fighter who takes a lot of breaks and seemed to have some stamina issues his last fight.
172 is 3 pounds away from light heavyweight... He could fight Chad Dawson and not really be outweighed that much on fight night.
When somebody comes up with better logic then this then y'all can talk all the **** y'all want till then tell canelo come down or go fight Andre ward with his light heavy weight ass.

He has all the tools and backing to be a PPV star for the next 10 years, Floyd will be gone hopefully at the end of 2014 or so and leave the void for Ginger to take over.
The mantra use to be that skills pay the bills for Floyd, but I suppose that only applies when he's the 8-1 favorite
If it was about taking 0's and beating the best fighters would be anxious to move up and face Andre Ward.

this is boxing... you could lose in the blink of an eye.... then all of a sudden, the odds got out of the window...
They're just no randomly picking a number out of thin air. This is carefully scouted and expertly decided. This is perhaps the strangest comments I've read all day, and I've read some sh.it today

Originally posted by swagswag View PostI bet there was a suggested catchweight. Most likely at 150.5 pounds and team Cinnamon Bun rejected the offer. It is an opportunity that he should take if he ever wants to have a chance at fighting the champ. Even at 154 pounds, Mayweather beats Alvarez.
Gee, wadda ya suppose that MEANS anyway? HA!

If you tell me that you don't do catch weights and fight fighters where they are comfortable..........then whats the problem? Fight at 154

Being quiet would be the best thing to do at the moment...I doubt if anything's even being discussed yet.
I understand the idea of building the hype, but dont talk yourself out of anything in the process.
