If Floyd is a real Junior Middlweight champion, why won't he fight Lara?

    How many times has Floyd fought at 154 before Canelo? Twice. Oscar and Cotto.

    Why did Floyd need a CW? Manny was moving up in weight. Floyd fought at 154 twice. Canelo at 154? "Naw I'll fight him at 152"

    The p4p #1 fighter needs a CW to fight at a weight he already fought at
    You still need to address NOT fighting Shane...& why Marg at 50? Cut it out!!!!

      LMAO what a complete and utter crock of ****. You are acting oblivious to it but the GOAT would have WITHOUT A DOUBT done the same exact thing Floyd is doing now. It's called "prizefighting" for a reason.

        I started a thread not to long ago stating how boxing is a business but also a sport. It was in reference to the talks of a Mayweather Khan fight taking place. We all want high competitive fights with guy's who are somewhat evenly matched. But it doesn't always work like that, whoever's the popular kid is gonna bring you the most money. Sometimes the popular kid is also a good opponent, that's where I stand on it. I'm all for a popular fighter being chosen if he has the credentials to back it up, and that's the point I was trying to get across but of course some people lack reading comprehension. I say that to say this, I think Maidana does just as many PPV buys as Khan would against Floyd. Only difference is that one guy has earned it and the other one has not, this is where it's no longer about business, it's about sport. You're gonna do 1 Million PPV buys with either guy.

          Now Floyd's ducking Lara, haha

          His performance against Trout was good, he out classed him, it was a complete style mismatch for Trout. Both are southpaw fighters, "slick" boxers, but Lara is just a bit better at every single thing both of them do. Kind of like Mayweather-Marquez.

          But did you miss Lara's fights against Vanes or Molina, or him struggling with Angulo.

          It's not like Lara is some unbeatable monster who's steam rolling everyone at his weight class. He's good, I like him. But I want to see the two guys who beat Trout fight. Canelo vs Lara
          If it's the guy people say CAN beat Mayweather why wouldn't you pay? That's an easy sell to someone like me.

              It's no problem, it's not like anyone else has fought #1 rated guy coming up to their 7th division. So he took on #2 guy, pretty good. A more diminished Cotto was still Floyd's toughest fight in a long time, he said much tougher than Canelo.

              Marg was a career welter. those 3 extra lbs did him good.

                they kinda have to have someone that sells, they gave floyd a ****** contract. they made the canelo fight to make up for the lost money, and profited big time. looks like they may have put all there eggs in one basket here.


                not sure if anyone out there that floyd can fight atm, that would "sell"

                  Bias justification...you clowns will take the Floyd ducked Marg to your graves but Shane offering to come down as low as 143 I believe, was still not good enough.

                      I said 7th division. That's a record. Floyd was a longtime welter champ avoiding Marg in only his 4th division. His 1st welter fight was Sharmba Mitchell lol. Pac fought Mosley 18 months after moving up. When did Floyd fight Marg now?
