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

[-PBP-]

The "end of May" deadline is getting close.

I wouldn't be surprised if its a late announcement like the Guerrero fight. A lot of money involved here.

Where were you when Floyd was dominating at 21! Yea that's what I thought. Wait what the F does this have to do with Floyd not fighting Canelo .

[bojangles1987]

Get your fork and plate ready. I guarantee you it happens in September. There are no other options for him. All this weight talk is just being used to negotiate a better deal.

That's the bottom line with this right now. Alvarez is his only good option. I'd be shocked if it doesn't happen. I know everyone would say, "Oh, it will just happen in May," but when has that happened with Mayweather? How often does he let a fight wait and then have it actually happen?

Thats right canelo...you the top dog now...you call the shots.

[Fetta]

They will fight and alot of these posters will change their tune of what they think of Canelo IF he loses.

[Kuyukut]

Floydie and his boyfriend Ellerbe are brain storming to set-up a good duck move to play down the fight with Canelo.

They might accuse Canelo of roiding or sumthin'.

History doesn't mean anything here because all of the big fights that didn't happen were against Top Rank fighters.

This is an in-house fight and the most lucrative option. Canelo "has a whole country behind him", its "giving the fans what they want to see" and it should be "at a weight where he is comfortable".

Said it before and I will say it again, Floyd will never step in the ring with Ginger.
Forget the money, if it was all about the money then we would have seen 2 or 3 May vs Pac fights by now. Plus Floyd gets paid whether he fights Canelo or Devon Alexander, which fight you think he would rather take. I have seen nothing to say that Showtime has any say in picking Mayweather's opponents.
This guy wants to keep that 0 at all costs. His legacy is nothing without it. He has no hall of fame memorable moments, his style is boring, and he has had no rivalry with anybody.
He will avoid risks at all costs. You can say what you want about Canelo skill wise at this point in his career, but the guy has game changing power and will be able to cut off the ring like no one Floyd has seen since he was at 135.
I say again I will eat major crow and give Floyd major props if he takes this fight now or in the future, but I just don't see it happening.

Except one of the reasons that fight didn't happen was because of the split that Manny wanted. Don't kid yourself man, Mayweather is the cash cow, he runs the show.

As it should be, good on Alvarez. If May doesn't want to fight at 154 he should give up the 154 belt. Simple.

This is not about May ducking, or that Saul has not done enough/fought anyone of importance to demand anything from May. If you plan on holding a belt there, you have to defend it, and not say things like but Alvarez will weigh 170lbs on fight night.

Utter BullShiet.

This. At this point, it doesn't matter who Mayweather fights, he's the favourite, by a good margin to. But you can't just hold onto a belt and not fight, even if your opponents are garbage. Not saying Canelo is garbage.

[fceeviper]

I guess Canelo doesn't really want the fight if he did he'd make some concessions if needed to make the fight happen, he has no real bar147?!gaining chips to dictate the terms. Still hope the fight happens at 147 or 154.

This is not about if Alvarez or May doesn't want the fight/ducking. If you have a belt at 154 you should defend it. Simple.

147?! Really?
Wow, just wow.

Maybe.

But I think they intend on promoting the hell out of this fight and announcing it much earlier.
