If Canelo beats Trout, Floyd HAS to fight him, right?

floyd has very few fights were he looked bad, but both times he boxed at 154 he did just that. he cant carry the weight and is significantly slower. he waited several years before going back to the weight a second time, perhaps he thought he could adapt better after a few more years at WW, clearly thats not the case.
not going there again would be a smart move regardless of who is in the opposite corner. ppl talk as if the only reason he wouldnt fight at 154 again is that canelo is too good, but we already know floyd isnt nearly as good at the weight. common sense tells you the first thing a fighter thinks about is his own ability to perform.
of course the anti floyd trolls will always say it comes down to fear of someone else. take a break=fear, want better PED tests=fear, cant carry the weight=fear. no matter who he fights hes duckign someone else.
remember how guerrero was a terrible fight until he mentioned alexander, then all of a sudden the ghost was a beast who would have destroyed floyd and he knew it. once he goes back to guerrero, guerrero goes back to being an easy fight. i swear to god the day he retires for good ppl will say hes doing it to duck someone, doesnt matter if hes in his 40's.

Kell Brook?
Originally posted by The Weebler II View PostI'd say he's more fearful of Trout than Canelo.
But honestly, you never know who he'll fight. Kell Brook might be his next opponent if he beats Alexander.
I agree that he would rather face Canelo than Trout, too...

Also, on another note, there is no way Alvarez will be fighting on PPV in September unless he is fighting Floyd Mayweather. Mayweather already has the September date reserved and will not give it up to Alvarez. If he does end up fighting on PPV in a different month against an opponent other than Mayweather, it will definitely be against Cotto or Martinez. There is no way in hell GBP would be stupid enough to put Alvarez in a PPV fight against Alfredo Angulo because they know the fight would bomb because Alvarez is not PPV material yet. A Cotto/Alvarez fight would sell maybe 350,000 if Alvarez beats Trout legitimately. A Martinez/Alvarez fight would sell no more than 250,000. In spite of what Alvarez thinks, he is not on Mayweather's level in terms of boxing talent nor popularity in terms of PPV sales

Originally posted by Davis40 View Postyou're right about that but the problem is his legacy is cherry picking and ducking fights. That's what the majority think of him. You're in the bubble though cuz you love him soooooo much.

NO!
He should fight the WINNER of Trout vs Canelo PERIOD...even if it is TROUT which I think is a strong possiblity it might be he should fight Trout in September
I don't want to see no damy Mayweather vs Canelo if the dude needs Robbery to get past Trout, he is has to beat Trout CLEAN without any controversy, if that happens then yes absolutely in September it should be Mayweather vs Canelo
It is funny how much time boxing fans spend on accusing someone of Cherry Picking and they are so quick to label any and every fighter a Cherry Picker
