Did Pacquiao and Canelo Take RISKIER fights than Floyd?

[PRINCEKOOL]

Floyd Mayweather vs Alvarez & De La Hoya where risky fights at the time.

Canelo's Alvarez riskiest fight was Golovkin.

And Manny Pacquaio's riskiest fight was Miguel Cotto 'Which at the time, I was quite convinced that Cotto would win'.

But Floyd fought Canelo at 152. Doesn't that alleviate risk? Fans say Ward ''destroyed'' Kovalev. Well in that case what did Bhop do to Oscar? And Oscar had to go back down...

Jesus Christ, You don't believe this...

I like playing the ****** little games too. Was Castillo the same class as Floyd? How many times did Castillo get KO'd before meeting Floyd vs Kovalev to Canelo? But but Ward ''destroyed'' Kovalev. lol

i dont work for HBO so its not my job to pump up good fighters with thin resumes and not very good oppositon

ugh i do, i watched both careers unfold

Castillo got stopped on Cuts several times, ole boxrec warrior...doesnt change the fact he has beaten more world champions and won his titles in the ring, fought and beat better competition

if you actually watched the fights you'd know the outcome


i never said anything about ward....

stay on topic 2 of those loses were against former or future champions, cesar soto (20 year old prospect at the time) and javier jauregui...man you probably dont even know who these guys are or seen them fight so really is no point to go any further

cuts doe.. lol

Don't play dumb bruh. Given Pac's starting class all the way to Cotto, who is Floyd's equivalent? Why state proto Floyd, we aint talking proto Pac. In fact proto Canelo is ''better'' than Floyd with risks.

Why didn't Floyd fight Paul Williams or Lara? Why didn't Floyd fight for Cotto's 155 Lineal? The Green Strap and Lineal? Are you serious? 1lb? Why didn't he as well for Canelo?

1lb vs 15lb to Kovalev?

Fact is Pac and Canelo took riskier fights than Floyd.

[BoomBapTrap]

I'd say Pac's most difficult fight was Cotto, regardless of the catchweight.

Canelo took on Lara, Jacobs, and Kovalev.

Why did Haymon advise Floyd to take soft fights and impose catchweights? Floyd even ditched his agreement with Marquez, the Lightweight.

Oh bro, every fight Manny took was practically a huge risk!

De La Hoya
Margarito
Cotto
Thurman

Legit he was always the underdog. But that’s what made him special. He didn’t DUCK ANYBODY. He fought all guys in their prime, and retired most in spectacular KO/TKO fashion.


He wasn’t like Floyd who would wait until all the advantages were on his side and then impose ridiculous requests to fight them. But Floyd was smart he was building his “business” with that “0”. Manny was a straight up warrior.
Different type of fighter.

It was not easy for Floyd Mayweather to move up in weight, plus there was no re-hydration clause 'And Alvarez is a professional'.

I have been trying to find a interview from the year of that fight, a american boxing journalist 'Black Man with braids, I think he was a former boxer' was adamant that Alavarez would win.

He is quite a well known Journalist, but I have not seen him in interviews for sometime.

they took riskier fights is debatable whats not is Floyd is always the favorite so people think he isnt taking a risk, while anyone with a brain knows boxing is all risk little reward.

i took a hiatus from this board becuase of posters like you

as i said you dont even know who those fighters are, dont know much about castillo and never saw a full fight


im moving on, i dont talk boxing with emo children, keep fighting the good fight



sad thing is you guys are going to have to live with never seeing floyd lose, move on their are so many other fighters to watch

Why did Pacquiao want nothing to do with Canelo even after Mayweather beat him if there was no risk? Pacquiao-Canelo would have been a massive fight, but Pacquiao wanted none of it. Just stop it.

Bro. Pacquiao came from Flyweight...

Floyd beating Canelo has no value because it was at 152, and he didn't bother attempting with Canelo at 155 for the Lineal, same with Cotto. It doesn't make any sense.

We're all talking about RISK. Why did Floyd agree to 144 with Marquez? If he made 147 easy how in da fook can he not make 144? 3lbs of water shed?

It's either he was puss-e or he drained to 147 with his protruding abs to weigh ins to then looking softer on fight night.

Yes, nel o and pac took tougher route. Floyd took break for last half of decade when he could have been giving rematchs to nelo and pac. Instead fighting kickboxers. Should have left that for year 2020.
Denied us thurman, spence, crawford fights.
Floyd missed Fotd the decade before you'd think h ed pull out all the stops
