So again! Since Castillo... he ran it back... Floyd did two catchweights with post Mexicans; Marquez (failed 144 commitment and 152 with Alvarez). Floyd said Cotto and Canelo were “easy work.” Floyd knew Cotto and Canelo were rinsing 155. How come Floyd didn’t attempt 1lb more for Cotto’s Lineal at 155? How come Floyd didn’t make headlines to want Canelo’s Lineal at Middleweight.
It makes no sense for “TBE” to ditch 1lb for a Middleweight strap! You can’t make this up! The truth is Floyd chose Maidana twice, Pac, and Berto instead of defending his 154 titles as well as ditching astronomical paydays for Cotto or Canelo 2. The only reason why Maidana was even a play was because Haymon and Showtime exploited Broner’s loss.
When Cotto and Canelo were asked by industry if they wanted rematches they said yes. Floyd simply said “Easy work” and would usually complain about people wanting him to “move up.” From 130+. FFs no wonder Floyd had Duran an ATG and top 5 ever.
Floyd ducked those rematches. Hence respect to the legends of the thread title and my initial post!
Ez breezy!
