Why are people still talking about Manny-Floyd?

[Verstyle]

Right now it is not even realistic nor what Floyd get any credit for this fight...If he wins against Canelo he will be the lineal champion at 147 and at 154..Manny will have no titles,hasn't even faced a top ww since 2009 and his next fight is against a guy with 0 fights at ww and who was 1-1 at 140.So why are people still crying for this fight? One fighter is with HBO and one is with Showtime not to mention Bob Arum is still around. Manny is not even a top fighter right now and beating Rios will prove nothing seriously nothing. Rios is a walking punching bag who was picked because he is no threat to Manny.

The public want to see what the public want to see.

If Floyd beats Canelo he will NOT be the Lineal champ of anything.

Canelo needs to do more than just beat Trout to be considered any kind of lineal opponent.

There are so many fighters at 154 waiting for Floyd. He won't be Lineal anything in that weight class any time soon.

Lol I really don't get it too. The fight has lost everything IMHO.

They are ranked no1 and no2 at 154, so the winner would create a new lineage.

Dude, it doesn't matter what his ranking is. The WBC is a freaking joke in the first place. Somehow Shane Mosley got a title shot against Canelo over Lara, Molina, Kirkland, etc when he did absolutely NOTHING.

The ranking system is a joke there.

If Floyd wins any Lineal anything after beating Canelo who won his title from Matthew Hatton, then it's a COMPLETE joke...... Complete Joke.

We're not even counting the catchweight. That's like saying Pacquiao is the former JMW champ

Canelo did beat Trout via very close unimpressive decision and Floyd beat Cotto who was a defending champion, it makes them highly rated at 154 though yes the winner should fight Lara but probably won't.

Trout wasn't even the man at 154. There were several guys better than Trout at that moment. Hell, I didn't even think Trout would beat Cotto coming off a loss.

Don't get me wrong, Trout was a good win, but there was absolutely nothing ground breaking about it.......NOTHING.

Like I said, I'm not even sure Trout can beat Molina, Kirkland, Lara, Angulo or even Andrade.

It was a good win for Canelo, and a MUCH needed step up in competition, but when you start talking "lineal", I can't take it seriously
