Comments Thread For: Canelo: I'll Fight Mayweather, But Only at 154-Pounds

[Starz20]

Everyone also knows that Canelo will re-hydrate up to middle-weight or even lightheavy weight by fight time, so we'll have a welter-weight vs a light-heavy-weight. But nobody cares about that? It's a none starter all the way around. It's becoming insane what people are asking Mayweather to do. Who's next after Alvarez? Klitchko? King King?

Exactly ask those same folks for Canelo to face: Ward, GGG, Kid Chocolate etc... first thing they say is their too big?? Huh when he will be the same size as them on fight night!

Canelo is acting like he is the man when dude has sold ZERO let me repeat ZERO PPV! I can't wait till he gets knocked out so this clown doesn't get so much attention and the cat's like Lucas, Broner, Thurman, Mares, and all the true fighters get the proper acknowledgement they deserve!

Have you heard him or any of his people deny it.
With the way he is getting hammered in the press based on rumors you think he would come out and squash them if it weren't true right?

The same way they tried to slander his name during the Pacquiao negotiations? Where Floyd then opted to do a series of videos explaining his side of the story over at fighthype aka floyd hype as some like to call it. Those videos received no major boxing news coverage, thus the public continued to slander his name. It gave me a thought of, "well maybe he feels the need to articulate his position to only his core audience and let the rest think what they want to think". Look, I want this fight at 154 as much as the next man, but I'm not about to accuse a man before he's able to give his side of the story, that's ridiculous. Anything else is just hearsay.

P4P fighters lol...ortiz, guerrero, lmao..mosley.

At 23 Floyd was fighting great competition: Corralles, Hernadez, Castillio, Manfreddie,

Now who has Canelo faced that was great on his resume????????????? Trout which is a controversial decision!

WHO ELSE WAS GREAT??? I AM LISTENING!!!!

Good for him..come up to my weight and i'll fk you up or stay down there fighting guys just coming up from 135 and 140 and calling them challenges. Good for him.

So you're saying Canelo would "Fucc Floyd up"?

[ADP02]

Dude weighs around 170 on fight night other than that he has ZERO advantage over Floyd! But speaking of that Ward is open and looking for an opponent since people seem to not care about weight! And the funny thing is on fight night they will be closer than Mayweather and Canelo would be!

Also I am sure GGG will be ready by September after taking care of Macklin in June so you have two dudes who will weigh around the same as you on fight night would love to get a shot at you and beat the shyt out you!

You Floyd fans make me laugh. Canelo, at 22, holds two belts at 154 yet you are telling him that he must move up to 168 or 160? What kind of logic is that?

Look, they BOTH hold belts at 154. If for any reason Floyd is uncomfortable with fighting someone at 154 then he can relinquish his belt. No need to make Canelo go up or down just to protect your hero Floyd.

i think some of you are missing the point here. if the fight doesnt happen, it wont be because floyd is a ***** or because canelo is ducking. it isnt happening because no one is gonna dictate terms to floyd...period. floyd will beat anyone they put in front of him but he isnt gonna do it unless he gets his way. he is the cash cow. i dont like it but its reality. he brings the ppv numbers, bottom line, thats the way it is. its the reason may-pac didnt happen and itll be the reason if this fight doesnt happen.

dude, you make no sense................

[Starz20]

Anyone find it odd the only people against this fight are the ones with red karma?

Basically all of the useless trolls whose opinion isn't worth anything.

Your a troll... homie all you do is hate majority of black fighters and yet you have a KNOWN cheater as your pic?? So again I ask you! You called Lamont a "scumbag" for cheating but Margarito had plaster's in his hand than got his ass knocked out cold by the dude Mosley!

Since you don't like "scumbag" cheaters why in the hell do you have Margarito as your pic? And you still can't answer the question!

They don't have an answer for you. They know Canelo has done nothing in his career to warrant this fight, they just hope it happens because they understand that skill can not beat Mayweather, they're hoping that size can at this point, and that's why they want to see it, they get horny at the thought of actually saying after 18 years "I told you he could be beat". Pathetic that they're clamoring for a 172 Pounder to do it, purely pathetic. That being said, I can't wait for this fight to happen at 154 and after the fight the majority of this forum post about how green Canelo is and how Floyd really should of fought Golvokin or Martinez.

Right! These fools are asking Mayweather to give a guy 20 pounds as a weight advantage, but turn around and don't demand that Canelo prove himself against Ward, or Martinez or GGG. It's funny to me actually. People always want Mayweather to assume all the risk, yet give his opponents so many outs and excuses. Somebody tell me who Canelo has defeated with his 50-0 record? This is when he should be proving himself against Ward, and Martinez, making himself a young legend as Floyd did. Instead he fights tomato cans, and you people laud him as the next Chavez? Why isn't Canelo calling out the Light Heavy weight champion since he insist on balloning up to 170 in the ring against welter-weights? C'mon Canelo be a man! Go fight Andre Ward!

I wouldnt say its insane what they're asking seeing as mayweather is a champ in that weight class. What kills me is that they are demanding it on him or calling him scared, but you dont see that with other fighters. Where was the cryin at when pac beat de la hoya at 147, came in at 148 but wanted to fight cotto for a title at 145? Where was the oh Pac is scared comments? Walks away from $50 million dollars 50/50 split fight where he had everything in his favor (gloves, ring, weight penalty) to fight clottey at 147 bc he was apparently scared of needles....but not floyd, drains margo down to 150 for a 154lb title, calls it historic then fights mosley after mosley lost and drew but not when mosley was ****ing on his damn door for a fight right after he ktfo margo. Where were the oh pac is scared comments then? brings marquez up in weight( the same weight floyd got blasted for) because they thought God Almighty couldn't help him. but got beat in many peoples eyes, then lost the cotto fight to mayweather bc he didnt want to fight a guy he beat at a weight the guy was more comfortable at. Lost the mayweather fight, because despite after saying he wasnt scared of needles anymore after 3 years of saying he was, his promoter says no fight may 5th when may 5th was open for negotiations for both fighters BEFORE there was ever a 40 mill on the table because...wait for it.....his eye might not be healed. Where was the oh pac is scared comments then?
can you imagine if mayweather did that? its crazy man.
