First of all, why is it that so many of y'all (in general, not this forum in particular) want guys like Floyd Mayweather to move up to middleweight/SMW to fight GGG and Andre Ward? The **** is the point of that? Even if he were to fight them, and do it at a catchweight, some of you guys would just complain & say they were drained or Floyd cherrypicked them to avoid . Why is it that nobody minds Manny doing 2 catchweights to Cotto & Margacheato, then weight drains DLH & Mosley, but as soon as Canelo offers a catchweight fight to Floyd and he takes it, everybody riots? Also, why do people think that because Floyd is against a fighter much more aggressive than him (Cotto, DLH & Maidana), and they throw flurries against him, that the blueprint is out on him, even though most of those punches aren't even landing clean, if at all? 
Secondly, why do people use so many triangle theories, especially with this upcoming Canelo-Lara fight in July? Some guys say that because Canelo destroyed Angulo and Angulo gave Lara that work the fight prior, means that Canelo will somehow walk through Lara (forgetting that Lara also TKO'd Angulo). Canelo and Angulo don't even fight the same, so Lara won't even have to worry about a pressure fighter who has heavy hands but he will have a decent counterpuncher at the other end.
Last but not least; the whole string of "Floyd, Rigo, Lara & Andre Ward are boring" comments you hear all over the net. I don't think most people like the fact that guys with the styles they have don't just go in for the kill from the get go and/or let themselves be punching bags; they'd prefer to sit back and slowly but surely pick you apart and then go for the kill, all while not getting hit at the same time. The entire notion of boxing is hitting w/o getting hit, but apparently most people just want bar fights these days. I love watching Floyd just as much as I loved watching JCC in his prime, but you can't honestly tell me that guys like Rigo & Andre Ward don't have massive skills of their own just because they don't fight like robots (Brandon Rios for example). Some of you guys don't know **** about boxing.
For those of you short attention span having posters on here:
Way too many double standards when it comes to Floyd & Manny
Triangle theories are bull****
Most people that think Floyd & the like are boring or don't have any talent because they aren't punching bags DKSAB

Oh, and tell your mother I said happy Mother's Day.
