Something to think about Floyd Fighting Canelo now or later...

[boliodogs]

I don't think Floyd cares what some fans say about him not fighting the best. If I understand his deal with showtime he gets at least 32 million a fight regardless of who he fights. I think he will have all his last five fights at a top weight of 147. That's ok with me if he gives up the 154 pound WBA superchampion title he got when he beat Cotto or the WBA takes that title away.

You guys are freakin ******ed. The fights going to happen next for one reason and one reason only. Its cheaper to have the fight now. If Floyd waits hes going to have to pay Canelo more money. Why dont you guys believe Scheafer when he says hes working on a deal? I know hes partners with Floyd in this Showtime deal but hes also Canelos promoter. So why lie about it? So do what you always do and flip flop because the fights happening. So start looking for ways to discredit Floyd after he beats Canelos ass.

Anybody that thinks Floyd will fight Canelo next can bet me up to 10 billion points even money. The bet will be payable when he announces his next fight. PM me if you want to bet on it.I bet he will not be fighting Canelo now or ever.

Floyd wont ever fight canelo mark my words. Especially after canelo obliterates cotto later this year. They have thrown their 1st road block by asking canelo to drop to 147 which we know is not possible. Let's be real do you really think mayweather is going to concede on his demands? He didn't with pac which is/was a much bigger star than canelo. So unless canelo cuts one of his arms to make 147 the fight aint happening.

Dumbazz he is fighting Canelo In September in his next fight ******. No catchweight, no rehydration clause. 54' title. I already found out, and all thats left now is for me to tell you YOU DONT KNO SHIET ABOUT BOXING IDIOT!!!!!

If floyd doesn't fight canelo sept 14 i don't think the fight will ever happen. Canelo may move up to middle weight in the next year and floyd is naturally a welter weight. Only way they fight is if they agree on a catch weight at 151 or at jr middleweight.

[boliodogs]

I believe Schaefer is trying to make the fight but Floyd has to say yes to Canelo at 154 and I don't think he will.

If this fight is really happening, it needs to happen now...
Canelo is only getting older and will soon outgrow 154, which will be the nail in the coffin for this match up.

Floyd has maintained that he is fighting in September. If he is true to his word, the only logical opponent would be Canelo. Alexander has a broken hand and I don't think you risk a major promotion on the possibility that Devon can fight in September. From what I read, Khan is out as well because of Ramadan. That leaves Matthyse and Garcia who should be fighting each other.

Floyd vs. Canelo @ 154lbs on Sept. 14th.

But it was ok for Manny to fight a (36) year old De La Hoya at 147 but a (22) year old Canola can't come down to 147...Why is that???

[Carpe Diem]

Fighting Canelo later can be a double edge sword for Mayweather.
Why? Think about this:
The more Canelo fights he gets more seasoned and we have seen it.
When Canelo fought Trout he learned alot and gained confidence.
Lets say Floyd Waits, and Canelo fights Cotto.

Im pretty sure Canelo beats Cotto based on his power but I am also sure he will learn alot and gain more confidence.

So is it better to fight Canelo now when he is limited or wait (but he can become a better fighter).

Or not fight him and continue with the tag that he never fights the better opposition.

Your post is spot on. He should fight Canelo now. The longer he waits, the more it will benefit Canelo.
