    I don't know about this. He got a massive payday and his fans still love him.

    The only thing I think he ruined was his rep amongst non Mexican fans, especially on the east coast, or anyone who saw Canelo for the 1st time.

    He can always get himself in position to fight Floyd again.

      Same thing going to happen to Pacquiao.

      Anyway if Maidana is fat and the most famous in his country now from fighting Mayweather. Victor Ortiz a Hollywood movie star, Robert Guerrero the poster boy for cross fit. Canelo getting a big money deal... I mean.. fighting Floyd make your stock go up.

          What does "bad mouthing Floyd", what does that have to do with it? other than you being an tunnel-vision fanboy.

          An owner doesn't have to manage your company when he pays someone big bucks to do it, that someone was Schaefer who snaked him.

            Bad mouthing Floyd got him not involved with the biggest fight in boxing.and please no need for all the name calling, we are grown men and can debate as such

                Here's were agree some Canelo should have grabbed his balls and said no catch weight and continue to call Floyd out at 154. I can guarantee you this if he stuck to that Floyd would have never fought him at 154 and made Floyd look like a coward. Floyd only takes fights at catch weights or if a name fighter is smaller IE Hatton Marquez or has declined in skills due to age as Delahoya, Mosley and now Pacquaio
