Comments Thread For: Floyd Sr. Confirms: Mayweather-Canelo Must Be at 147!

[HeroBando]

This is the first time I will come out and say this, but I think it's about time I started defending Floyd Mayweather from all you ignorant mother****ers.

Sure we can talk about he's not living up to legacy and this and this and that, but when it comes to Floyd Mayweather, you guys have to understand one thing, and understand, I have never been able to admit this...

**** LEGACY. Homeboy is making money and bull**** walks period. Sure, he ducked Pacman and it was obvious, but truth be spoken that Pacman was lucky they never fought because every boxing analyst knows Pacman didn't stand a chance with him no matter how we hyped it. I don't know what fear Mayweather had in his heart, but Pacman was never going to beat him period anyway.

When it comes to Alvarez...where the **** does a 22-year old come in to play in the hearts and minds? He was merely a replacement because all we ever look forward to is a fight where WE HOPE, he (Floyd) is going to lose. For me, Cotto had a better chance at Mayweather than this guy. He has no stamina (proven), and I'm actually impressed with Mayweather Sr's response to this weight issue because let's be real, Mayweather truly is a 140-pounder and Alvarez is a fat b*tch. Why does the #1 P4P have to go up in weight to fight the newbie? Make the newbie come down in weight to him...**** THAT. Mayweather ain't gotta go chasing nobody at this point. Name me one fighter who stands a chance from 140 through 154 lbs RIGHT NOW that can **** with Floyd...NOBODY.

Sure there's ALOT of asterisks in Mayweather's career, but he played his cards and he will leave the sport healthy and very, very, very, very rich (LMAO). Why can't we just appreciate him for that?

When it is all said and done and we're all old and talking about "the good 'ole days", I can guarantee you that he will be spoken of among the greats whether we like it or not (RIGHT NOW).

Appreciate the fact that we're living testament to that man's legacy. Sure, he skipped on GOAT fights, but I give him credit on the fact that he was GREAT in skill, and played his cards the best way possible.

I agree with much of this, including that Canelo is not entitled to a Floyd fight. But Floyd just signed an outrageous contracts with showtime for up to 6 fights, it's not pension. Do you think they're paying him that much for a series of uncompetitive fights nobody cares about? They treated him well, you don't think he owes them an sellable fight?

They probably lost money on Guerrero, and the trend will not be up with the buyer remorse off Guerrero, and the perception that he's cherrypicking easy fights. And even small, 10% misses are big hits on their budget. GBP will be feeling it, so will Haymon. All of these guys want this fight sooner than later, since it'll reverse the trend.

Ring uncle Roger Floyd.....Snr would do well just to say nothing. Snr will want to assert control of Floyds career & spew ****** **** like this. Floyd will get sick of it & they'll start arguing again....this time on All Access

I don't understand all this drama about Canelo.

Who has he fought?. His best win on paper is Trout, and the fight stank. Open scorecards, 2 judges giving Canelo the first four rounds and then 7 out of 8. The fight was officially over by the end of round 8, while in truth it was much closer than that.

Canelo was panting hard by then, and his defense looked more like a mockery of Whitetaker than anything else.

Yes, he's much bigger than Floyd, but guys like Danny Garcia, Devon Alexander and Bradley all have a better resume than Canelo in my opinion, as well as the winner of Peterson- Matthysse.

As things stand, if Floyd decides to fight Canelo it will be on his own terms, it's only normal at this stage of his carreer.

I respectfully disagree. Canelo's defense was looking much better than that of Whitaker's. It was a beautiful, masterful display by Saul.

So much for a Canelo/Floydie fight. Funny though, all the Floydiots whining about the weight, all getting in lockstep with the fanboy rules. That's fine, I have my boxing faves too. Just don't start whining when the reality of Floydie Duck A Rama becomes accepted as fact by the masses... because that's what it is. I wouldn't really care about the issue if Floydie wasn't a JMW champ... but he is. So there goes any semblance of an argument. He's a chicken and a duck all rolled up in one... with a side of pompous low class thug on the side.

Very disappointed. I'm not gonna even post again in this thread. Idc if anyone agrees with me or disagrees with me. This is just sad. It's always an issue with Floyd fighting certain guys at certain times. Even when it makes sense financially. Smh I will say that Sr. needs to stfu with that Floyd is a 140 pounder bullsht. He couldn't even make 144 when they made the fight with Marquez a couple years back.

Well, if it makes sense financially and Floyd is all about money, but he makes the fight hard to make, what else could that possibly mean?

[newyorican_papi]

I just don't see how anyone can justify that Floyd needs to fight Canelo. If I were Floyd I'd be concerned about it too. Think about it, if they fought at 154, Mayweather is going to be 154 lbs come fight night, Canelo will be 170 lbs.

I know that Mayweather can beat this guy...but it is seriously a weight disadvantage no matter how you look at it.

If I were Mayweather entertaining the idea to fight Canelo, I'd make it on the conctract where ON fight night, neither fighter could be over the weight limit of 154 lbs and if Canelo goes 1 lbs over that agreement, he must fight for free.

Isn't that fair? No? Why not? Because we all know Canelo can't do that either. It's a disadvantage no matter how we look at it PERIOD.

This post sums up just what is wrong with Floyds career and his fans. So Floyd cannot fight at a disadvantage are we saying? Its ok for JMM to be disadvantaged against Floyd, but Floyd cannot be disadvantaged are we saying?

Is it any wonder Floyd is infamous for being a cherry picking ducker?

Yes FLoyd will be disadvantaged against Canelo, and if he can beat Canelo then FLoyd will be credited accordingly. Does any Floyd fan care about Floyds legacy. We know Floyd dont care, but what about his fans.?

JMM made more money than he's ever made thats why he was at a disadvantage. floyd fought at a disadvantage when he made the most he ever made with ODH. Hagler fought at a disadvatage when he fought SRL (widest ring possible) when he made the most he ever made.

So in this situation-no floyd is not going to fight at a disadavantage and give Canelo his highest payday ever.

[SpeedKillz]

as a floyd fan, even i have to admit this is kinda funny. i mean its senior talking, not junior, but still, why would they drain canelo down to 147, which he is clearly to big for, and be hypocrites like that? i dont get the drama, floyd schools canelo at 154, so why make this all dramatic. could be they are jus rockin the boat for shits and giggles of course, since its the mayweathers, but i doubt anyone will approve of this fight at 147, even though canelo outweights floyd by like 20 pounds at 154, nevertheless, 154 is the weight class that floyd is champ in, and 154 is the weight class canelo campaigns in, so it must be 154 or fight someone else...
