Comments Thread For: Canelo To Mayweather: Stop Hurting Boxing - Fight Me!

[aAgger]

I guess it’s best to have Floyd rob the public by fighting guys like khabibi who can’t throw a straight punch if their life depended on it.

Dude can definitely throw a straight. In fact, Khabib dropped McGregor with a straight right, something which even Floyd couldn't do. That was the biggest surprise of the Khabib-McGregor fight (besides the crazy post-fight brawl). And this is already being hyped-up by both the Khabib and Mayweather camps. But of course, that doesn't mean Khabib stands a chance against Floyd in boxing. Floyd would dominate him in a boxing fight.

As for Canelo, that's a high-risk, low-reward fight for Floyd at this point in his life. Floyd is well past his prime at 41, while Canelo is currently in his prime at 28. If it was prime Floyd, then that's a fight he'd win. But now at 41, Floyd might not be able to pull it off. And it wouldn't be worth risking lose his 0 when there's not as much money to be made, since DAZN doesn't do PPV, which is how Floyd makes his money. Floyd would make more money fighting Khabib.

So Canelo wants to restore boxings credibility by fighting a man who is now four weight classes below him, is 42,and hasn't fought a boxer in, what, 3 years? Sounds like a plan..

Canelo knows a lot about delaying things 3 years so I give him the shifty edge over Mayweather.

Nothing is hurting boxing more than the WBA “regular” belt which will Canelo will shortly be fighting for.

[Nomadic]

It cringing to hear a boxer dominated Canelo over 12 rounds and now he's the face of boxing.

[stuff jones]

Says the roid user.

Canelo has zero self awareness.

[R_Walken]

Yeah that’s never going to happen

Mayweather whos basically retired isn’t going to fight on DAZN

Plus give up almost 15 years and 20-25 lbs to Canelo who’s in his prime

I can’t even imagine how generous the judges would be for Canelo this time around hoping to pass the torch and hand Mayweather his first L

If the fight got made he Probably gets 6 rounds just for showing up

Canelo has his chance and came up way short

The inexperience talk is such a cop out

The greats of the sport Leonard when he fought Benitez , Tyson vs Holmes /Spinks were able to win legacy fights at a young age , not be dam.n near shut out and gifted a MAjority Decision

So Canelo was too young and experienced to fight Mayweather but at 41 and retired it's perfectly fine now?

[GrandmasterWang]

Canelo would beat the piss out of Floyd.

Khabib vs Floyd is much more competitive albeit a completely stupid fight.

In an mma fight Khabib would twist Floyd into a pretzel, up until he clocked Conor his striking was always considered garbage. He's a world sambo champion, not an elite striker.

The USA vs Russia angle would work and Floyd is shot to hell so Khabib stands a chance but the fight is still garbage.

Pure cash grab by both people.

Of course Canelo destroys Floyd. He's a fully fledged middleweight now and in his athletic and boxing prime. Floyd meanwhile is a great grandpa in boxing age and significantly smaller.

Bleh to these fights.

Nelo should fight GGG in a trilogy and Khabib should defend his UFC title vs Ferguson. Floyd should fight Pac or Broner if he wants another boxing payday.

[Tomjas]

Lol

Canelo was gifted 2 results against GGG due to money

Floyd brings more money

Floyd fought Nelo when the fight was available...Floyd schooled him and now Nelo wants revenge for the abuse Floyd gave him when Nelo was still a puppy...now he’s the big dog and barking loud lol...can’t hate Nelo for wanting to avenge his only L...but the ship sailed on that years ago...let it go Nelo...Floyd will never allow his opponent to dictate terms so the weight will be a issue...they’re not the same size
