Floyd has selfish interest in Canelo beating GGG

[Rysandro]

In 2005 Floyd Mayweather moved up to his 4th weight division (147) and the Dela Hoya fight presented itsef a year and a half later at 154, Floyd accepted 90-10 split in favor of Dela Hoya, Dela Hoya chose the judges, the ring and Mayweather's gloves, Floyd said fine let's just make the fight happen. Bear in mind, he was already the best P4P fighter in the world at the time and nobody was criticizing his level of opposition, but he still took that risk and that's what made him the star that he became.

Now look at GGG, never took no risks, acting like the A side with Canelo when he's clearly not while being criticized by more than 70% of the boxing fans for his resume and still not trying to make any concessions to make the big fights happen, why is he better than all the fighters before him that took risks to become stars in boxing? if he wants to be great then he needs to go through the same process, that's just fair and that's what Floyd means when he says Canelo doesn't owe GGG anything, GGG needs him and he's supposed to do whatever it takes to make the fight if he's confident in winning.

Damn shots fired.

GGG fans GKTFO

Floyd is not even a huge WW, he barely weighs 154 on fight night, he's small even for JMW and you guys are saying He should fight a middleweight. Make GGG come to 147 and see how well he does if he wants the fight so bad.

I am sure we wasnt draining when he was fighting at 147-154 at the age of 35-38..unifying titles and becoming lineal in both divisions..... but hey

No but what does that have to do with what I posted in response to you comparing him to GGG at certain ages? But hey

Anyone who really thinks he should fight GGG at 160 dksab

False.

Oscar made $52 million and Floyd made $25 million. That would make it a 67/33 split, not 90/10.

As far as I know Mayweather did make 25 million while the fight generated 130 million, I don't really think Dela Hoya only got 52 out of the remaining 95 since he was his own promoter.

The one thing you guys forget to acknowledge is that Floyd was draining honest to make the weight. It wasn't about him daring to be great it was about his body outgrowing the weight class. But of course yu will applaud anything that fits your agenda

You have no proof that he used to drain himself at any point of his career except maybe for his last 2 fights at 130, we saw his fight night weights and he never gained more than 5 lbs over night 135+. U can be dehydrated because of different things, not just weight loss.

YDKSAB lol not everything has to be text book, he stepped in and reached in wide to land the punch he thought would be the KO punch and it was. BOOM.

Yeah against a chinny WW ffs. That's a text book punch my azz. Fawking fan boy

The proof is the fact that he lasted a certain amount of time and it was too hard for him to make weight so he moved up. Even if it was only 5 pounds. He was smart and realized he needed to move up in weight . I'm not knocking him for it I'm simply staring a fact that he moved up when his body told him to. GGG makes weight easy and doesn't need to move up.
However if he looks bad at the weigh in for his next fight like he did for brook then to me that's a sign that he is draining himself to make MW. We all have different opinions.

Using your own criteria, which weigh in 135+ did Mayweather look drained in? which fight did he gas out late at throughout his career because of weight, the man finished strong in 99% of his fights.

Fact is, there were no money fights at the lower weights, the money was at 140, 147 and 154, and that's what he was after, big fights.

Unless Mayweather is getting paid 7 figures from Canelo purses he couldnt careless. I think he was right doe, most boxers had to paid their dues in boxing whilst still getting the media on their backs, it is GGG time to take his dues and take some calculated risks especially with his age.
