Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather-Canelo Alvarez: Superfight Ready To Go

[Tonyu]

I'm surprised his fight is happening now this is Mayweathers biggest and most dangerous fight at the moment - we all now he has 5 more fights to honour his contract with Showtime and this would of been perfect for his last fight to go out with a **** - but I'm looking forward to this if Mayweather wins this one his got to go down as one of the all time greats. - can't wait for September.

Maybe the promoter feud Is a good thing for boxing: Matthyse Peterson, Rios Alvarado, Marquez Bradley, hopefully Matthyse Garcia, Rios Pacquiao, Mares PDL, Canelo Trout, Bradley Provodnikov, Donaire Rigo, now this fight. As far as the cw its just as big a ***** move as Pac vs Cotto. Unbelievable you have every advantage speed, smarts, defense, pedigree yet you feel the need to even out the one sole disadvantage. Its BS only in boxing can you completely ignore a division yet still compete for a title in that division. Nonetheless this should be exciting.

Anyone else think Canelo is too green to fight Fraud Jr. already? He didn't look the greatest against Trout even though he got the W...

[GRUSTLER]

Floyd won't even weigh 152 on fight night. Canelo is big even for the 154 division and lets not forget he fought a 140LB at 154. Saying Floyd wants an advantage is kind of odd. Alvarez will still be the bigger and stronger guy. It is rather hypocritical of Floyd being that he trashed Pacquiao for it. At least Floyd is actually fighting the guy for his titles and not a vacant one. Mayweather has used catch weights before this one (Marquez). All in all. Fight is happening but the sad thing will be. Once Floyd wins all of his naysayers will use this as an excuse to down grade the win but Manny will still be considered great by them every though his wins that are praised most are at catch weights.

Mad props to Floyd for taking this fight! This is how you please your fans! Can't wait for September! Definitely the best fight currently scheduled for 2013! Good job Golden Boy! Now let's ink Mattysse vs. Garcia and Khan vs. Broner!

Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Margarito: Manny To Demand 150-Pound Weight

I don't know how anyone can defend Manny when he's doing this.

He fed Cotto to Pac
at a catchweight and now Margarito (if it's true). There is nothing
credible about that.

[crold1]

Yeah, it's bull****. Cotto was never the man, and neither Mayweather or Alvarez are the man now.

No but they are widely seen as the top two in a class without a clear champ. Just going on belts, the only other two claimants now are Ishe and Baysangurov. It's a sizable gap. The winner here is clearly THE man in class. Neither might deserve the nod now. One will by 9/15

If Mayweather dominates Alvarez, which I expect, that shouldn't get him a lineal title at 154. Not when Lara and Molina are more proven than Alvarez.

Its not that big a deal, so I'm not going to whine about it.

Exacly!! It doesn't matter what Floyd does or who he fight's there will be haters he can't win. It's sad but as i'v said before he will be a hero in years to come

[MDPopescu]

Hopefully he does.

This is literally how Floyd fans felt about catch weights 2 hours ago.



Oh how quickly that changed.

I'm not a Floyd fan...
But I predicted a fight at 145, with Canelo forced to rehydrate just under 165 lbs...
I was wrong -- the boxing business is sinking that fast that Floyd has to fight a Canelo walking about 170 lbs...
And if Floyd supposedly beats Canelo, they will bring him Chavez Jr. or Martinez... or Ward (at a "catch-weight" of some sort...)
