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

We all know that none of you respect the belt that Floyd has at 54 and you shouldn't.

If Floyd can win a title at 154 and not drain a fighter as he claims Pac did, then he can fight for another title at 154 without making himself look hypocritical and asking a fighter to drain himself to a division that fighter does not fight in.

You haters are so pathetic trying to use that belt that Mayweather has at 54. We all know that none of you respect the belt that Floyd has at 54 and you shouldn't. Mayweather is a paper champion at 54, the belt he has there is meaningless. Stop being so disingenuous.

Can you show me your post, over a month old, admitting this? I've seen other Floyd fans boast about his #1 ranking at 154, then make a quick turnabout in the past couple of weeks, disowning the belt. If he's too small for the weight, the honest thing would have been to give up the belt way back.

WHile I want the fight at 154, When floyd fought ODH he didn't argue with ODH over things-he accepted and beat him. Why can't mayweather's opponents do the same?

It is fair to argue if Canelo wants the payday, he can come down. Ward wanted the payday and offered to come down. Martinez wanted the payday and offered to come down. If Canelo wants the payday there is no reason he couldn't come down either. BHOP spent his whole career at 160 but got down to 157 to fight ODH. dawson went down 7 to fight ward. stop acting like its unprecedented.

He'd be tainting his 154 belt with that request, in a major way. Ward was not a champ at 175. DLH's 160 belt was already plenty tainted, he robbed the weakest link to get there. Certainly none of these guys sat on the belt and #1 ranking for a year, then asked the other guy to come down.

The operative word is OFFERED. Canelo does not OFFER to fight in a division that he does not fight in and you better damn sure hope Floyd doesn't fight Canelo at less that 154 because THAT is exactly what Floyd and his minions huffed and puffed for years blaming Pac for.

[richardt]

What a joke how Floyd fans and Floyd HAD HISSY-FITS when Pac asked Cotto to come partway down but they are okay with Floyd fighting Canelo at an entire division lower and one he would have to drain himself to get to and they show no shame in the outright hypocrisy!!!!!!

This isn't about what Floyd can or cannot do, he can do whatever he wants to do. My point is that you haters are doing nothing but using that title to hate. You all know that Floyd's title at 54 means absolutely nothing. You're being disingenuous just to hate.

Can you show me your post, over a month old, admitting this? I've seen other Floyd fans boast about his #1 ranking at 154, then make a quick turnabout in the past couple of weeks, disowning the belt. If he's too small for the weight, the honest thing would have been to give up the belt way back.

I'm not showing you anything. You can search through my post history just like I can. I've never boasted on Floyd being ranked the #1 guy at 54. How could he be when the only guy he's fought at 54 in the last 6 years is Cotto, who hasn't beayen anyone of mention at 54 himself? Floyd is not a 54 fighter and I've always said this. Whether he gives the belt back otr waits for them to strip him it's not going to change the fact that he's not a 54lb fighter and is never going to campaign there(whether he decides to take the Canelo fight or not). Stop using and start using common sense.

I don't give a SHT about the title, I'm talking about a fighter who claims "I ONLY WANT A FIGHTER TO FIGHT AT HIS NATURAL WEIGHT, I WANT HIM AT HIS BEST, I DON'T DRAIN A FIGHTER, I"M NOT THAT KIND OF GUY". So what the hell do you think Canelo coming in a less than 154 is???? Thats hypocritical!

[richardt]

Bottom line, it is Floyd has won titles at 154 and now all of a sudden, the current 154 pound champ is expected to fight in a division lower that he does not fight in??????? And the guy asking even blamed a guy for doing less than he is doing! Floyd is being a hypocrite and some of his fans would have an easier time believing that UFO's landed on the Whitehouse yesterday than to believe Floyd is a hypocrite!

Stop being an overly emotional little B, overreacting to rumors. Didn't Schaefer come out and call BS on the nonsense about the fight being anywhere other than 54? Yet you're still crying.
