    What size advantage did he have over Canelo? I'll give you a chance to switch excuses and tell me Canelo was too young and experience. While you're at it tell me Pacquiao was too old and passed his prime.

    Excuses, excuses...
    Floyd's size allowed him to absorb JMMs punches better.

    Against Canelo he demanded a catch weight in case you forgot.

          First of all Floyd and his team presented the fight to manny....manny's team said no to the cut-off date of the last blood and urine test.

          You just learned something on you 1st birthday...lmao

            I have that clown on ignore. It's a sad day when you need to quote Kigali.

            Canelo agreed to the CW because that was the only way he was getting the fight. Floyd tried to make the fight at 147, then offered 150 and 151 until Canelo finally agreed to 152. Don't pretend that a CW doesn't extend an advantage or level the playing field.

                Manny has fought a lot of opponents bigger than him. Vargas was a WW champion, Bradley a full blown WW, Rios and Algieri are naturally bigger than Pac.

                But don't worry, if Floyd gets his way he will have his McGregor fight (while demanding Conor come down from 170 to 147).
                come down from 170?? his last fight was at lightweight which is 146-155

                    I get what you're saying about CWs but you can't possibly believe Canelo wins the fight if they fought at 154.

                    It sounds like you're finding every way you can to discredit Mayweather's wins (maybe you don't like him, I don't know). All I'm saying is, any weight advantage he had against Marquez or Canelo is moot since he had such convincing wins. Marquez wanted no part of a rematch. Canelo on the other hand, will gladly take a rematch simply for the money and it would once again advance his career win or lose.

                    He made the same point I was getting ready to make so on this subject we agree.

                      Weight is moot and baseless in wins? Mate Marquez looked like crap in the fight where he had no speed no foot work. There was no pop in his punches. He was like canelo minus the hand speed and what makes him a great fighter. This is just a poor attempt on trying to make Mayweathers wins look good. canelo looks like a zombie against Floyd. Who was a dead man walking in the weight scale. Everyone ranging from Andre Ward to Jim lampley commented on how weak he was. If you can't see that then that's just being a fanboy.
