If Canelo was a Top rank fighter.....

I think everyone is pretty much in agreement that the fight would not happen and its sad to think that them being under different promotional companies would be the only real reason it wouldn't happen. And now along with the showtime/GBP/HBO split this issue will seem to only grow.

I can't bloody wait for Bob Arum to kneel over and die already. At the rate this is going, might as well create two different sports.

Top Rank Boxing and Golden Boy Boxing.

If Canelo was a TopRank fighter then he and Chavez.Jr would be the fight that people would have wanted to see.

We probably would never have seen that fight. Look what happened with Gamboa a lopez

if Canelo was really that good top rank would have signed him. they r the ones who always find and polish off the diamonds, not the 10yr old gbp. lol

I imagine it would be seen as a Floyd duck if the fight didn't happen But I wonder what would be the reasons given for why the fight didnt happen, money split? would they not have caved on the catchweight? Drug testing?

He would be a TR fighter, that would be the reason. Quick, name me the last tiem Floyd fought a fighter still under the TR banner.

Lets remember before it was just Top Rank and Golden Boy that were involved in the feud, now it is HBO and Showtime.

No chance it wouldve gotten made.

When I think about it sometimes I feel like boxing has become like pro wrestling in the sense of there being different rosters in different companies. It's like Top Rank is WWE, Golden Boy is WCW, & Dibella Promotions is ECW. The rest are just indy companies. It's ridiculous that boxing has come to this. Sadly, so many fights are just fantasy fights, unless a boxer switches promoters.

so far yours is the most sensible post i read to date...
