    Canelo?
    They basically did the same thing, yet mayweather is praised but rigo is crucified.

                      Don't worry, Floyd's next fight would bomb, then the next... until he retires. Showtime would be too ****** to spend millions of dollars in them.

                          the difference is that Mayweather is a PPV star already. And half the people pay hoping to see his butt get kicked. Casual boxing fans do not know who Rigondeaux is so Arum can't really "sell" him.

                              donaire looked worse than canelo....

                              cos he was doing his circus act....

                              trying to act as if he was on some roy jones ish....

                              and getting schooled....

                              canelo fought a boxer's fight.... so it looked better to the eye....

                              it was more textbook....

                              donaire's style is definitely not textbook.... so he looked bad.... and then he was fighting a southpaw.... it looked bad to the eye.....

                                  nothing basic about it....

                                  completely different style matchups....

                                  floyd an orthodox athletic boxer.... canelo an orthodox boxer

                                  rigondeaux a southpaw counter puncher.... donaire an unconventional orthodox puncher
