Comments Thread For: Mayweather Praises Canelo For Refusing WBA Shot

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Floyd Mayweather Jr. has praised his most recent opponent, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, for refusing to face Erislandy Lara for the WBA's "'regular" junior middleweight title. The World Boxing Association has multiple champions in several divisions. Mayweather also holds the WBA's title at 154, but the sanctioning body regards him as the "super champion."

Mayweather decisioned Canelo last September in Las Vegas. And while Canelo is still going to fight Lara on July 12th at the MGM Grand, the Mexican star refused to have the WBA title at stake because he views Mayweather as the real WBA champion of the junior middleweight division.

Mosley wasnt the interim champ tho?? that was cause floyd didnt want to pay sanctioning fees to the wba i thought.

its diff on canelos part, he can use the interim belt cleaning up the sport thing as a smokescreen to hide that he really is struggling now to make 154

What would Guerrero hang on his wall then?

I wonder if people will start liking bogus belts now that Floyd says he doesn't like bogus belts.

[BOXEO _]

I think Canelo's just struggling to make 154. The Lara fight will probably be at 155 or 156. Lara doesn't mind though, he was willing to go up to middleweight to fight GGG.

Oh please. We all know Canelo can't make 154 comfortably anymore, that's why this isn't for the belt.

Isn't this the same belt Trout had? It was good enough then no?
