Comments Thread For: Canelo: This Mayweather Fight is About Pride, Not Money

[DLT]

Floyd boast what a stronger, better fighter Cotto is over Canelo, yet he insisted on fighting Canelo at a catch weight, which is silly... 2lbs??? If Cotto is so much better, then tell Floyd to stand in there toe to toe and fight Canelo the same way he did Cotto... and let's see what happens. WOULD LOVE IT!!!

I bet Floyd thinks Rigo is better than Canelo also but doesnt mean that he doesnt think Canelo is the harder fight. He thinks Cotto is better but Canelo is 20 plus pounds bigger and in his 1st division.

You would love to see Floyd stand toe to toe so Canelo can have an easier fight? How do you sound? Tell Canelo to go stand toe to toe with Ward, Triple G, etc.........

Every fight is different. Size matters and you dont fight guys the same way. Sorry if Floyd isnt dumb enough to fight like you want him to. Its not Floyd's job to make it easier for Canelo to beat him

Canelo by KO

To be honest fighting Mayweather is no risk these days, you are expected to lose, there is no pressure on you, you don't get beat down too much, the media all wants to talk to you and interview you at a level you haven't seen before and yea you get your best pay day.

On the level of Oscar? LMAO..Oscar himself bitterly said the amount of love this kid gets from the public is something he never experienced. You can sense the resentment in Oscars voice when he admits Canelo is already a bigger star than he was.

Are you kiddin? What PPV has Canelo headlined before? He does not have the star power or the fame Oscar had. Now maybe one day he will, but that time is not now. Maybe you can say he's more popular than Oscar when Oscar was his age though.

his brother lost more fights than just the Trout fight but he didnt face those guys

What kinda goofball comment is that? What, he has to beat all of his brothers conquerors before you think he's legit? GTFOH with that lame crapola.

lets be real. Floyd may be the best in the sport but he also brings by far the most money, is going on 37, and comes into the ring at 150 pounds. Its no risk at all. Anyone Canelo's age or stature would jump at that fight. Floyd only has a few fights left anyways.

On top of that, if you lose then it doesnt hurt much. Most of all, anyone with a huge size advantage in boxing thinks they will win. Either way its more than worth the risk.

I think Canelo is legit and will fight the best but this fight doesnt prove it. Everyone wants Floyd, no matter what there age is. Again he's old, small, brings by far the most money/fame, and a loss to him doesnt hurt. Im more impressed by him taking the Trout fight honestly

You have never boxed right ?

All pro boxers want to beat the alpha dog, the best in world, because by doing so the become the best in the world, and to them there is no bigger price in the world.
Floyd says he is all about the money, but deep down its being reconised as the best that drives his ego.

If all is about pride, why do the pro boxers get paid.
They should all fight at the Olympics.

If Mayweather wasn't a star, let alone the superstar he is, Alvarez wouldn't even be considering him. Who the hell is he fooling?

Oh wait, he's fooling a lot of people apparently.
