Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Mayweather-Canelo II Could Be a $1.5 Billion Fight

[chicken-]

So according to Oscar, Floyd should stop fighting people 2 weight classes below him to come back and fight somebody 3 weight classes above him.

Floyd haters will say nothing about Oscar and Canelo talking about this rematch YET AGAIN.

Come on, this would have been an extremely dangerous fight for Mayweather at the full junior welter division 4 years ago. At middleweight is would be suicide for Floyd, not too mention Canelo has improved by leaps and bounds since their 2013- 2012(?) fight. If current day Canelo was fighting 2013 Floyd at super welterweight I would bet the house on Canelo. Let Mayweather do his sideshows. Real fights will end up being a very bad thing for him. Keep him away from all the prime fighters because he'd end up getting hurt very badly.

No, Floyd would of still schooled him & Floyd has fought middleweights in the ring on fight night. Floyd is done competing, its over, no buts, what if's, could of's about it, it OVER....LOL

Floyd needed Canelo at 152. All while Floyd fought DLH and Cotto at the full 154. 155 Canelo hurts Floyd. A 160 Canelo wouldn’t even be a fair fight as many other posters claim Floyd is too old and would get hurt

After ALL these years people betting against Floyd, T.B.E. still schools him....LOL....Nelo can come in bigger & slower....LOL

No he doesnt. Again, you choose weight like a jar of water. A plastic Jar is always a plastic jar. Humans improve. The SRL that beat Benitez was not as good as the second phase of SRL starting from Hagler.

Canelo’s career isn’t even finished, so if you want to make fair comparisons we would have to choose PRIME Floyd at his highest weight meeting Prime Canelo at his lowest weight, hence a theoretical catchweight. Floyd at 23, aside from Hernandez, whom were his difficult challenges as Canelo’s resume at 23?

You just have to compare fairly, and no one thinks Floyd could beat Canelo now. That’s ridiculous. Canelo could probably make 157 at lowest, unless Floyd agrees to a particular dieuretic allowed for Canelo without penalty. Floyd walks around 165lbs. Floyd could do 158lbs. But would he want to? And is it fair?

Floyd weighs 165 after years of not training (soft) & with clothes on....LOL....He CLEARLY showed he is light years ahead of Nelo, its D-O-N-E, OVER....LOL

The one thing Mayweather loves more than money is the 0 in his L column. There is no way Mayweather comes out of retirement to fight Canelo when Ginger nuts is now in his prime and has filled out his frame. Floyd may still be slick for his age, but he's still an old man in terms of sporting primes - and while he may not be book-smart, he's not ******.

Floyd out of his prime fought Nelo who was in his prime, no excuses and that 0 in his L column came from fighting & beating the best out there. Its over.

[j.razor]

Nobody cares about Canelo and the general public wouldn't fall for Mayweather again in the same numbers unless he fights Michael Phelps or some other gimmick.

Nelo is the face of boxing right now....LOL

[j.razor]

So the author says that Canelo's wins against Miguel Cotto and JCC Jr were impressive. I don't think so. I thought Cotto won that fight. And JCC Jr was weight-drained, and barely threw punches to make the bout competitive.

Lol....NO. Cotto was just too small for Nelo, it caught up with him after 6 rounds.

No seriously, Floyd needed 152 knowing Haymon advises Trout to make it 153.5 limit. So Floyd drags another 1.5lb off 154. The karma is why Tank Davis misses weight and Floyd fans don’t follow TMT anymore.

Floyd was too scared to fight Canelo at 154, at 23 years of age. We know it’s fear because Canelo was his second biggest PPV. If Floyd seriously thought of money only, he would’ve done that fight again. He knows he couldn’t get Canelo in the ring again at anything lower than 154. Canelo was the second biggest draw in the sport. This is why Floyd stayed at 147.

Jacobs is going to shatter the illusion about Canelo's "improvement" since the Floyd fight. Canelo is the same fighter but just roided up.

Its his defense that improved a little.

[j.razor]

He also forgot that Pacquiao rose 2 weight divisions to completely annihilate him lol

LMMFAO! That's funny!
