"I chose Canelo because he deserves a chance"

Are you ****ing kidding me? The kid hasn't even cleaned out his division let alone fought the "Kirklands and Angulos" of the division.

Meanwhile I remember when Cotto beat Quintana to take the WW throne and Floyd called Miguel "too green."

I swear to god this dude is soo full of ****. It's disgusting that fans are buying into this.

Fraud, plain and simple.

The bold, doing away with those two isn't even that commendable for me, only other fighter I would have wanted to see Canelo face was Carlos Molina or Lara, that's about it.

You're an idiot. Canelo is Floyd's toughest fight in years.

Agreed. Canelo is the best Floyd can fight right now.

well canelo could have fought kirkland after kirkland demolished angulo..but canelo should be fighting lara next and the winner of that gets floyd.

[Kuyukut]

If Floyd is much better fighter than Canelo, then why he is fighting the weakest version of him (Canelo)?
