Why was he boasting about being #1 in a division he's too small for? Why didn't he drop the belt immediately? He's still holding on to it after more than a year FFS
He never got stripped, wishful thinking http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/may...hamp-canelo-or-wbawbo-champ-rigondeaux-194628
thanks for ur post btw. I wouldn't give Canelo full credit mainly bc he will not be fighting the best Floyd that he could have. I believe that as a challenger, they should do more than the person they are challenging bc they have a lot more to gain then to lose. The reason why i said that i would not give Canelo full credit bc he is the younger guy, a much bigger guy and the challenger. Floyd is not effective at 154 and Canelo would be taking the easy route. The 140lber that Floyd is considering fighting walks around the same weight as Floyd. Floyd moved up bc of bigger names in WW years ago but he was never a big WW. Those guys at 140 are in reality closer to Floyd's size if not bigger naturally then Canelo.
its the same damn scenario dude dont sugar coat it be real with it man lets just say Floyds next fight is against Khan, name one welter weight Khan beat? What about Lucas or peterson?? none of these guys have a win at welter weight yet, and Floyds going to be the first welter that they have faced I mean dont you think they should establish themselves at that weight before getting a shot? its a double standard here Floyd should just fight Ruslan and let the jr welters fight at welter before taking a fight with them. and lets also be real Alexander vs Mayweather do you really think that fight does well? in terms of numbers? Alexander poses no threat neither does Khan though the Khan fight in the UK will make big money but the fight itself is garbage we all know that. Peterson do you think Floyds going to want to fight a guy who is on roids? not a single commission asked Peterson to get a 2nd opinion in regards to his health situation I find that very disturbing all you need is a Dr note and you are good to go? **** that he should have been sent to one of their specialist if anything to confirm he has this issue. either way I think Floyd can save allot of face by fighting Ruslan while they figure out something for the Canelo fight
Did you just say that Floyd moved to WW years ago because their were bigger names their? Really. And the man retired when Cotto, Margarito, Clottey, Mosley, and then Pac were there to make big fights with.
What are you talking about, "he made them". They never had to fight him. I can't see Canelo getting down to 147. If Floyd doesn't like he doesn't have to fight him.
??? Floyd has been chasing Oscar and Shane for years. They kept moving up so he followed. WTF? Margarito and Clotty were big names? ESPN fighter and unknown? You clearly haven't follow the sport. FYI: It was Cotto who said no. It was Shane would said no. And it was Pac who collaspe the fight in the first place.
He's demanding Floyd fight him when he wants, instead of when Floyd wants.. You get picked by the top tier fighters, not the other way around. Pac and Floyd choose who they fight, their opponents don't say you'll fight me now.
Whatever helps you feel better about Floyd. Retired and somehow missed the biggest names at WW over how many years now?
Have we not been told for about 6 months to save the date for Floyd Canelo in September? Also told Guerrero is just a warm up to a bigger fight in September. If not Canelo, what's your guess?
By who? When has Floyd said he's fighting Canelo in September? :huh When did Floyd say Guerrero is just a warm up to a bigger fight in September? Can you point me to a link?
