Too bad Canelo would disagree with you every time he says he's the best fighter in the world.Comment

Yea, a test that FMJ himself failed. The guy that wanted the tests the most couldn't even follow his own rules. Illegal IV anybody?Mayweather agreed in 2009 to a 50/50 purse split, ring size, gloves....everything. The fight would have happened then, when Pacquiao wasn't "shopworn," but Pacquiao blew it because he wouldn't agree to drug testing for some reason.
The same drug testing that he ended up doing in 2015. Six years too late.Comment

By that reasoning, wouldn't that make all Canelo fans former FMJ fans??? I don't believe that rubbish for one bit. Fans will always root for the guy they like the most. If it just so happens that a former Pac fan likes GGG as well, then they most likely enjoy watching offensive-minded boxers. There is nothing wrong with that.Comment

kdd has a point because it wasn't like this was FMJ's first time fighting someone who was out of their prime. He had opportunities to fight guys in their prime but chose to wait until they aged or lost. And let's not forget that FMJ is his own promoter. Therefore, he chooses who he fights...he has the final say. And he's said this many times in front of the media, "I'm my own man...I'm my own boss." If he didn't want to fight Pac in his prime, of course FMJ fans were going to defend him. As a boxing fan, I prefer matchups where both fighters are in their prime. Technically, FMJ was still in his prime when the Pac fight could have been made (since he took so very little damage throughout his career & was reduced to fighting once a year). And I remember the very 1st negotiation where FMJ still put up roadblocks to prevent the fight from happening (anybody remember the mediator they brought in?). So essentially, the decisions to have the Pac fight was all up to FMJ...but he simply passed on it & decided to wait rather than challenge himself as a boxer. Anybody who says that FMJ is TBE, I will point to how he refused to challenge himself as a boxer by fighting guys not only in their prime, but under conditions that doesn't heavily favor him (vegas as the site, he chooses judges & refs, glove size, etc.). So the argument of FMJ "waiting for him to get old" argument will continue to apply to FMJ long after you or I are gone from this world. History will remember.Only delusional people like you believe this. It takes a delusional person to think that a man who is two years older than his opponent is waiting on his opponent to get older before he fights him. Genaro Hernandez, Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castille, Marcos Maidana and Canelo Alvarez are/were all better fighters than Pacquaio and Mayweather fought all of them in their primes.
The waiting for him to get old bs is a lie that Pacquaio fans tell themselves to avoid accepting the only indisputable truth, which is that Mayweather defeated Pacquaio.Comment

If it was FMJ's first time doing that (waiting for a fighter to get old), then your argument would hold weight. But this wasn't FMJ's first go-around stalling a fight against a prime fighter. Is it too much for a boxing fan to ask an ATG to challenge themselves against the best at their best?!These former-Pacquiao-fans-turned-into-Golovkin-groupies aren't much for logical thinking. It ridiculous to suggest that an OLDER fighter would wait for a younger guy to get older...that just means that he himself is getting even older too! It would be a dumb strategy that only works in ****** world.Comment
