Can't you detect sarcasm? If I was that confident why would I imply that he needs a freak shot or a robbery?

Is this some of that sarcasm ?

" Canelo has the Marquez look he's gonna Mannie Floyd "

Where in that quote was there a reference to Canelo's snake?... edit: Unfortunately the cobra didn't strike.

You are ******ed. I'm not the biggest Floyd fan but I appreciate the mans skill. He's the best. Everyone said Canelo was a dangerous fight, now it was a cherrypick. This is ridiculous. Same will happen when he fights Garcia.

so what happens if he fights Garcia? You will be all in for that fight and its very legit, right? You will give Floyd mad props if he wins, right? If he dominates then you have to own up, right

Mandatory challenger don't mean a damn thing it's just some **** that the commission declares. The fans make the sport and the fans wanted, and still want the Floyd Pac fight. I never specifically referred to Guerrero as old, but he was never a legit contender for Floyd, he has no names on his resume apart from that over hyped idiot Berto.

LOL, so because he didn't fight Pacquiao that discounts all the work he's done for the past seven years? In those seven years he's beaten three light middleweight champions, two welterweight champions, has defended his titles in two divisions, and schooled the guy who KO'd Manny Pacquiao!

Besides many people believe Pacquiao is shot and has been for some time. So fighting Pacquiao at this point would do little for Floyd's legacy.

Floyd is a great fighter there is no doubt about it, but like I've pointed out, his opposition has been subpar, every fight since 2009 against an opponent not named Pacquiao has been a forgone conclusion.

There are no legit opponents because the guy is too good. And if I were running a multi million dollar company like Bob Arum I wouldn't of made the Pacquiao Mayweather fight either. From a business prospective I can totally understand why they turned down Floyds offer twice. If Manny would've lost to Floyd his value would drop 50% because the Floyd haters would've moved off of Manny and on to the next fighter. That was half of Mannys fan base. Long term it wasn't worth it. No way Arum lets Floyd just knock off his biggest money maker and scratch him off a 100 million dollar check for his troubles. It's not worth the risk unless Arum controls Floyd too.

''To be the best you gotta beat the best''

Doesn't face the best

It would be a good win, but Garcia won't be in his complete peak until around 2 years.
