Pacquiao's win over Cotto was maybe his greatest win

You guys are all missing the point of the thread. It's not to debate which was exactly Pac's most significant win, but to call fanboys on giving Pacquiao praise for a great win against Cotto and criticizing Mayweather for fighting Canelo at 152 at the same time.

People say "well Floyd has fought at 154 before" but Pacquiao had also fought at 147 before the Cotto fight.

The point being, just to underline it: CANELO IS AS BIG A THREAT AT 152 AS COTTO WAS AT 145 AND MAYWEATHER SHOULD GET JUST AS MUCH CREDIT FOR BEATING HIM AS PACQUIAO GOT FOR BEATING COTTO!!

Got that, boys?

 

Now THAT is very true. While i'm a huge Floyd fan, i can't deny that he's done a great job of making himself look bad here.

But again, that's not the point. Regardless of what anybody has said, isn't it realistic to say that 2013 Canelo at 152 is at least as big a threat as 2009 Cotto at 145?

Make fun of Floyd for talking himself into a corner all you want. But don't deny him the credit he deserves for taking on a real challenge like Alvarez.

 

Stop talking out of your ass. I brought up the rehydration clause because some Mayweather haters were saying recently that Floyd might enforce such a thing on Canelo. If never heard of a fighter enforcing such a clause, actually. I do believe that there are some sanctioning bodies who implement it (think it's the IBF).

And since when does Mayweather have issues with stepping on the scale on fight night? He's done it plenty of times in his career.

 

I thought i asked you to stop talking out of your ass. Canelo won't be taking off those 25 lbs right before the weigh-in, he'll gradually work his way down to the weight limit over a period of months and then he will put 20+ pounds on after the weigh-in. He does that for all of his fights, and last time i checked, it didn't have enough of a detrimental effect on his health to keep him from becoming unified JMW champ.
