    Mayweather over Canelo....it unified the wbc and wba titles....Canelo has went on to beat Angulo and Lara and could go on to be a hall of famer and was the bigger, stronger, more dangerous guy



    Manny vs Bradley was a good fight but Bradley had a disadvantage in almost every area. speed, power, experience, punch output....Bradley is harder to hit and probably has a better chin than Pacquaio at 147 but everyone expected Pacquaio to win



    A lot of people on here didn't think Mayweather would even fight Canelo....then when he dominates, it turned into Canelo was green or not that good anyway....he fights and wins then the excuses come...rinse , wash, repeat

      Pacs win over Bradley everyone agrees is better than Floyds win over canelo. Bradley was already established and had been beaten very decent fighters for years. You cant give Floyd credit in hindsight, just because Canelo has had some good wins since Floyd. Canelo was awful on the night he lost to Floyd that's what matters. Of course he must have improved having fought and lost to Floyd. But Floyd wont get credit for Canelos recent wins. Floyd can only get credit for the CW Canelo who barely beat Trout and Canelo was p4p about 20ish.

      But Canelo was green when he fought Floyd and drained.

        Again, Canelo was P4P #9.

          Not so much his game plan its his identity. I bet Bradley wins more than 0 rounds against Floyd.

            The game plan comment was to point out Canelo's inexperience. You are right about Bradley. Bradley will do whatever it takes and give Floyd his share of problems.

              khan's speed would give floyd problems. it would give basically anybody problems initially. floyd's timing would give khan problems. khan's chin gives khan problems against lesser punchers than even floyd.


              khan and algieri couldn't be any less alike. you need to stop with the comparisons. all they have in common is height. amir is 5'9" ish with high shoulders, and algieri is 5'10 ish with some of the highest shoulders you will ever see.

                and yes, canelo was extremely drained when he fought floyd.

                you're either biased or don't know what you're looking at, if you tell me this man didn't starve himself to make 152.

Canelo was a bigger, stronger, younger fighter then Floyd while Bradley was a feather fisted fighter with no real advantages over Manny.
                  I have nothing else to say on the matter, this guy already ended the thread.

                    I mentioned Canelo's issues before the fight. It showed to anyone who saw the Trout fight that Canelo wasn't ready and had to fix his issues beforehand to even think about fighting Floyd.

                    What you speak of is threads where people laughed at Floyd's team bringing up that Canelo was too big. So naturally there will be comments since Floyd had a title at 154 and had fought there several times before. What you forget to mention is that the fight never happened at 154. So people were technically right.
