Mosely wanted no parts of Floyd out of his own mouth and the Cotto match got made immediately after Cotto leaving Top Rank. His opponents were mostly all coming off big wins and expected to do damage to Mayweather. Baldomir was coming off huge upsets. Everyone sings one tune prefight and when Floyd mops the floor with his opponent, they say he cherry picked. Floyd is elusive, its not running because he still manages to tag the hell out his opponent. Hit and not get hit, that's how you last long. That's why people say fighters like Cotto and Pac are past there prime, too many wars, no technique. They're past there prime but newsflash, they're younger than Floyd so whose fault is that? This isn't backyard brawling, its boxing. There are skills to this.

Blah blah blah!! You my friend are blind!! Or brainwashed!! I guess hatton had a huge win vs collazo.. Or DLH vs Stevie Forbes or Ortiz vs hype Job or Guerrero vs same hype job! Pls!! I know it's boxing, did you not read it?

It must suck to have to come up with a spin everytime Floyd wins. You should be a politician. Face it, man Floyd is putting on clinics.

Floyd has always used Canelo on his undercards to boost his PPV #'S.

I think Canelo is not ready for Floyd yet but what a heck, It's the next best match since Oscar vs Floyd.

For this fight... CANELO IS THE "MONEY" TEAM... Everyone was mostly for Canelo in the city tours I went to... Also goes to show that there are WAY WAY MORE MEXICAN BOXING FANS than American fans... That's why the best fights are always on MEXICAN HOLIDAYS... Ask Mayweather why he doesn't fight on HIS BDAY or on 4th of July.... Because nobody gives a **** on those days...Boxing is the Hispanic/Latin/Mexico Sport... If I'm wrong let Mayweather fight on 4th of July or his bday or any other "American Holiday" or any other personal holiday of his and see how many people really don't support him, because they won't waste their money to support him... This fight has ALL the hype because of Canelo period.

THAT'S RIGHT.

at the time pac fanns rooted for sugar and will always root against him

the money fans were all rooting for marquez and now the pac fans are rooting for canelo

So you're saying that the same fans that loved Tyson, Ali, Robinson, Leonard, jones, Hopkins, Lewis, Holyfield, Mosley, clay, Holmes, foreman and so on! Hate mayweather cause he's African? GTFOH! Fans hate him because he's a poser.. Loves being the villain vs popular overmatched opponents! Humble is PAC, canelo, cotto, trout mathysse and other great fighters, future stars!

Suger Ray Robinson and Joe Loius had haters by racist whites but its just that not much attention wasn`t given to it.I remember reading a ring magazine and this writer was talking about how he got a letter from a racist throwing racial slurs at Robinson.Plus it took aong time for Robinson to get a shot at the title beacuse of racism.Also when Joe Louis fought Max Schmelling in the U.S most whites in the U.S were rooting for Schmelling even though Louis was representing the U.S and Schmelling was representing **** Germany.

Also the boxing climate today is different form yesterdays boxing climate.Today fans are more racist and nationalistic then when Leonard,Tyson and holyfeild fought.I be on youtube a lot and i read a lot of racist comments towards black fighters regardles iif they humble or not and i seen racist comments on this board towards black fighters humble or not.


And the claims of Floyd picking over-match opponents is a ****** myth which is destroyed by reality.Floyd consistently fight top level fighters.If people really hated Floyd for so-called cherry picking they would despise Pacquiao cause he`s the king of it.I have yet to see a current top level fighter cherry pick more then Pacquiao does.Pacquiao has avoided Nate campbell,Yuri Foreman,Zahir Raheem,Rafeal Marquez,Victor Ortiz,Canelo,Juan Diaz,Tim Austin,Mark too sharp Johnson and others.

When Canelo started fighting on Floyd PPV`s, nobody in the U.S knew who Canelo was.It was Goldenboy who put Canelo on the Mayweather undercards cause Goldenboy was co-promoter of the Mayweather fights.I don`t think Mayweather asked for Canelo.
