Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Canelo is Future, Mayweather Era The Worst

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

It was announced earlier today that Golden Boy Promotions had re-signed Mexican superstar Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez to a multi-fight, multi-year extension . Alvarez, is scheduled to face Miguel Cotto for the WBC middleweight title on November 21st at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

To the head of Golden Boy, Oscar De La Hoya, this signals in a new era of boxing.

"This is what I can tell you,'Canelo' is the best and he's the future, the Mayweather era has been the worst era in the history of the sport because it's been all about business, it's been all about meaningless fights, it's all about boring fights," he opined, rather bluntly.

Oscar is right...

Floyds legacy is one of:

ducking the best in there prime.
Talking a bunch if bs About drug testing while he himself is dirty
Domestic violence
Being a terrible parent
His crew being involved in shootings and assaults
Calling his dad a ******
Being the first black man with a black slave, Mr."Massa we sick?" Leonard Ellerbe
Retiring when the division was tough

And worst of all, putting on the most boring performance of all time in the most profitable fight of all time.

I use to love Floyd, but I'm beyond rdy for him to retire, this sport needs to rebrand itself after the damage he did.

Speaking of Mayweather, who takes on Andre Berto tomorrow night at the MGM Grand, will 'the Golden Boy' be ordering the pay-per-view?

He says - "I will be setting up my outdoor theater....and watching Disney movies with my kids."

Piceless!! LOL

"Mayweather era was the worst because it's all about meaningless fights, it's al about business"

I wonder if De La Hoya realises that Canelo is part of the generation he's criticising.

Mayweather, Pacquiao, Marquez, Cotto, Paul Williams, Morales, Barrera, Mosley, De La Hoya (funnily enough), Vargas, Felix Trinidad, Winky Wright, Corrales, Castillo, Martinez.

The list goes on.

I wonder of people's hatred for Mayweather will let them turn a blind eye to him ****ting on people who put so much of their blood, sweat and tears into the sport.
