If you're going to talk about boxing, show it the respect of paying attention or at least bring on someone like Rafael or Atlas who actually watches the sport and can set these people straight who are clueless.
I fully expect Mayweather to win tomorrow night; but, in my opinion, if Alvarez won, it would be great for the sport. That kid is on the cusp of superstardom. An upset over the acknowledged P4P king would truly herald his arrival. People watch Floyd in the hopes that he loses. That kind of negativity doesn't bring the masses like a new, fresh star that captures the imagination.

Be it the lack of a decent heavyweight division, after KTFO6 when the loony pac fanatics were making "boxing is dead" threads, and if Canelo gets May tomorrow night we will get an entire new round of "boxing is dead" decrees.

Got no beef with Dan using the catchweight controversy question as an opportunity to pants Skip.
And he made Wilbon look like a tampon.

Their agenda has become oooh floyd you're a hypocrite so I don't have to give you credit if you win because you didn't give manny any. Uhhh ok.
the real reason they shouldnt give any credit for floyd in this fight is that canelo has **** stamina
you cant knock floyd for taking this fight its easy money and canelo has got a lot of fans that took the bait and believe the hype
im saying and have been saying it
canelo is not leagues better than any opponent floyd has faced before and plus he has terrible stamina. its an easy win for floyd
i am a floyd hater but im not blind i know a hype job when i see one but im pretty sure all the floyd haters that fell for canelo as being the goods will be singing the same tune im signing about canelo
once floyd beats him

the catchweight is and always be only an issue for us. Because we live and breathe boxing. The general sports public doesnt care about. They just see it as two guys are fighting around a reasonable weight. It's not even an afterthought.
