      My thoughts are that Floyd has a BS title at JMW that doesn't mean ****. My thoughts are that Floyd is a WW that can't even make the JMW weight limit and any fights he takes there are a bonus to us real boxing fans. My thoughts are that if Mayweather decides to fight Canelo or any other fighters at JMW then it's Cool and the gang, if not it's still cool because he's a WW. My thoughts are that I don't have to make excuses for Mayweather because his career speaks for itself and he's recognized as the best of his era based on what he's done in the ring. I'm not ashamed to be a fan.

          Matthysse is actually as good a fight. He'll bring the fight all 12 rounds

            Mayweather holds a title at 154lbs. He's ducking if he avoids Canelo. Had he vacated after the cotto fight and said this weight is to big for me than it would not be a duck.

                So I keep hearing people talk about how Floyd would be a duck if he didn't fight canelo, but if people were honest with themselves no one really thinks canelo is anywhere near floyds skill level, they only want the fight because he will outweigh floyd by almost 25 pounds. And as much as people hate Floyd deep down that shows how great he really is in their eyes. No other boxer p4p fighter now or ever is held to the same standard period.

                Now with Canelo people give this guy to many passes. The only 154 pound fighter he has fought is trout. While a great win styles make fights. That's why when people say well Marquez got whooped by Floyd and Floyd whooped Marquez so he doesn't have to fight Pac it's bs. While I don't think Floyd ducked Manny, and it has lost some luster, it still makes for a great fight

                Now my finally thoughts Canelo needs to play his position to many boxers now days are getting the easy route, love of hate floyd he earned his dues and when he fought Oscar he gave in to ever single demand, and that's the only reason he fought at 154. And the cotto fight was an example of a ww fighting another ww at 154 and Floyd knew this, but by no means does cotto belong at 154, I mean seriously imagine cotto fighting a guy like Angulo. Floyd even gave in to gatti demands to get the fight as well. Now days guys like Khan, Broner, Canelo, are calling all the shots on big fights and hasn't done much in the sport but bring money and it's sad because to many guys work there a$$ off to get to that position and politics keeps them from that spot.
                If canelo is no challenge for floyd why not fight him then. The excuses are getting old. Sergio Martinez took a fight with a guy who outweighed him by alot as well. And everyone knows sergios a small middleweight. He should fight riggo at a catchweight and get it over with lol

                  bs no one does that, when has anyone vacated a title because they move up in weight? they dont give up titles until they have to why do we have to hold floyd to a different standard thats ridiculous. i thought as long as canelo agrees to come into the fight at no more then 161 the fight would still be at 154 anyway but somehow thats probably not fair either
