Canelo vs Mayweather? Official?

My thread on Floyd vs Rated Opponents/Champions:

The earlier stuff that nobody would really recall at this point to exact numerical rating is thanks to KOKid and hhascup, who has around 10,000 RING Magazines in his collection. Those are not annual ratings, but at the time of the fight.

Mayweather (41-0, 25 KOs) has been in the magazine’s ratings for 84 weeks, since he ended a near two-year hiatus from the sport with a unanimous 12-round decision over Juan Manuel Marquez in September of 2009.

The dominating victory over his smaller fellow future hall of famer earned him the No. 2 spot in both THE RING’s welterweight and pound-for-pound ratings behind No. 1 Manny Pacquiao.

Mayweather assumed the No. 1 welterweight ranking from Pacquiao by out-classing the then-No. 2-rated Mosley last May. However, Pacquiao regained the top 147-pound position after he dominated Antonio Margarito in a 12-round junior middleweight bout in which he weighed under the welterweight limit.


Mentioned in a few other links as well, but that's the first to pop up. Mosley was #3 P4P also, I believe. It's funny because prior to the fight, there was talk about how much the fight adds to his legacy if he won.

good looking

Yeah.

That fight is worth another look. Floyd was sharper than fresh razor blades that night. Mosley caught him with some good shots because Mosley was still more than servicable and capable of pulling the trigger. Pac could've had Mosley first, they werent interested.

canelo is a poor mans 154 version of tommy morrison because he does not have the one-punch power of the duke yet has the same plodding footwork and suspect defense. also, tommy was very durable which is unknown at this point re canelo.

Maybe even Trout does him in too. Just sick of the hype of this man people should at least wait til he beats someone worth a crap so I threw in JJ & G-man. Just feel he'll get destroyed soon and people will really be let down but we'll see. Have a reminisce about Lemiux and Bute when I think about Alvarez. When will people calm the **** down and wait until someone has proven something before riding their dick like a pogo stick?

Champ v champ. It's these fights that I love in boxing

Not that he isn't ready it's just that he isn't really a "champ" because he didn't beat a decent 154 fighter. Floyd would be a great way to start but sucks he's waiting for his 45th(?) fight to test himself. Should still be a solid fight.

Great counter attack.

Might be my fav Floyd fight. Oddly Ortiz despite the ending is up there too with me.

"Mosley, you're too good". Then they wait until Mosley looks done against Money that was a bitch move.

Floyd wont fight because canelo poses a threat. Its that simple, with Floyd it always has been

I believe it'll be doubleheader Cotto/Alvarez & Floyd/Ghost.. ..I'd prefer Khan if he performs well tonight.

No, he just agrees a weight, gets a guy to come up 2 divisions to fight him and then ignores the weight limit and comes in heavier

Ahh the Floyd nuthuggers make me laugh

[Hands of Iron]

We'll know shortly.

Yeah, it's up there for me as well. Put on an absolute clinic from the third round on.

Schaffer was saying that he is planning on stacking up a HUGE card for May 5th, and it promises to break PPV records. He said he is finalizing the details, but within the next two weeks it would be announced.
