    You do know that 23 is the universally recognized age (sanctioned by the WBC and others) for comparing fighter's resumes?? :-)

      Here’s the context for my post...

      Floyd didn’t dare Lineal or his 6 weight division accomplishment in facing Cotto or Canelo TWICE! Floyd could’ve easily said 155 for any of these guys, Cotto and Canelo would taken those fights in a heartbeat.

      Truth is Cotto gained more muscle mass after Martinez.

      If Cotto or Canelo were “easy” for Floyd, then it’s a no brainer that Floyd would’ve retired a 6 Division Champ and the Lineals with either the Mexican or the Puerto Rican.

      For you to say “Floyd did what Oscar...” etc has nothin to do with Cotto or Canelo at 155+

      Floyd didn’t dare 1lb with Cotto because Miguel was bigger. Canelo was/is bigger than 152 and refreshed at 155 at the time.

      And that’s All she really wrote!
      What you wrote was so Tim-Tim it was hard to make sense of that pile of dog sh.it post , My Bad

      Yes he didn’t dare try and get the Lineal or Go for a strap in his 6th Weight because he was scared of 2 fighters he had already beaten

      Or Maybe he didn’t Go for the MW sTrap because you know he had this small little fight against PAC you may have heard of , A fight that Generated almost a Billion dollars and the dates wouldn’t have matched up even if he wanted to fight Cotto next

      Everyone knew Mayweather was going to have his last legitimate fight in Sept / Cotto fought in June and there was no way Cotto would have 2 1/2 months later took a Mayweather fight /, But Kind Of like Mayweather best names on his resume were from his own era unlike a certain Fighter I’m sure if Mayweather wanted to pull a Canelo and not give his Opponet proper time he could but would probably want Cotto at his best , Mayweather could care less about the MW lineal and realized that whoever won between Canelo / Cotto only enhanced his legacy

      But yeah keep believing what you wrote / Next time try using Facts about a situation , I understand when it comes to Canelo your estrogen levels skyrocket but try to keep it together when you write , Just remind yourself he doesn’t know you exist

      And that’s all she wrote

        Stopped reading here.

        Let me run some “basic logic” for you...

        Was Mayweather still fighting after Berto?

        Was Mayweather ever contractually obligated to only fight on Showtime after his contract ended? This question is funny and rather rhetorical.

        No. He wasn’t. It was as you said, he didn’t want to bet on himself with Cotto or Canelo in rematches at the lowest weight 155 at Middleweight.

        If you followed Floyd’s career. Those opportunities made perfect sense and they made a ton of money more than Berto or the Japanese guy. The McGregor fight was a money fight.. yes we get it. If Conor was safe it clearly means Floyd wasn’t physically capable with the Cotto at Middleweight.

        You know darn well that acclimation in weight is practiced in boxing as general protocol.

        I got Cotto or Canelo beating Floyd at 155. It was best Floyd fought Canelo at 152.

        Why do you think Canelo haters are critical about any weight detail with Kovalev? Does it make a difference?

          He’s been retired since Berto
          , fighting a MMA Fighter whos never boxed professionally & a Japanese Midget , neither of which he trained for doesn’t change that , Since Berto He’s not a boxer , He’s a Ringmaster in Organized Carnival Spectacles and gets to cash 8-9 figure cheque’s to entertain the masses

          I know you can’t accept that the reason Mayweather didn’t fight either Canelo / Cotto and try to get a MW sTrap is because the dates made it impossible , It didn’t matter at that point , & both Canelo/Cotto were with HBO , And HBO / Showtime will work together when the PPV can break records theyre probably not as interested in doing do when the fight generates 1/3 - 1/2 of what the PAC fight did against opponets he’d already beaten , But it’s for the MW Lineal which is a whole bunch of who gives a sh.it because the best MW at the time was Golovkin , Just because Martinez thought he had a big $ fight against a Known Name that would be a easy fight to end his career and it backfired badly doesn’t change that.


          I’m happy for that your opinion is Floyd loses to both at 155 , But what you think about rematches that never happend or realistically never was a possibility really doesn’t mean sh.it , In the real world He fought Both and Beat them ,that’s all that matters ,

          I’m done now

          this thread topic is short bus and Your replies to me and reasoning is a even shorter bus.
