One Thing Was Clear From Today's Presser

Fights are won at the press conference? You seem shocked.

 

Excellent post.


I think a lot of the fans who talk about a fighter like Floyd fearing someone are just keyboard warriors who know very little about the sport.

 

That isn't what he's saying.

 

I agree with you. The people who say Floyd would be scared of anyone his own size and species, just simply dont understand how a fighter thinks, mainly because they arent fighters. Why would Floyd be scared...Someone who's been punched a hundred thousand times in his life, isnt scared of being punched, and he would never take the fight if he were scared. Signing the bottom line away from external pressures is all you need to know that he's not intimidated in any way.

 

its very rare that a fighter would actually 'fear' another. Don't think either of these 2 fear each other. This is top world level boxing we are talking about here, very top level.

Mayweather has beaten all comers, he shouldn't be scared of anyone, Canelo is young and confident he won't be scared either.

most people who say "he looked terrified at the conference, weigh in etc" will say it anyway. Its just people picking at straws.

 

youre talking about canelito nuthuggers.

there were(have since been banned) douchebags putting the limited canelito in the same sentence as Tyson, holyfield and toney.

some here having the 5'7" canelito koing prime vargas and Donald curry.

9/14 couldnt come soon enough and the exploitation of canelito to follow soon after.

this guy is a 154 version of tommy Morrison without the one-punch power.

nothing more and probably something less.

 

There are still inbred fools who would have you convinced Mayweather is / was scared of Pac.

The reality is with his skills he is scared of no man. He takes his living seriously, and treats it like any other business. He is not some stupid macho man who wants to show how tough his chin is, he knows his skills are superior to anyone elses around his own weight, and consequently he has nothing to be scared of.

 

Why anyone would think Floyd is scared of Canelo Alvarez defies reason and logic. In my view if Alvarez does not get stopped in this fight when he loses he should consider himself fortunate. Canelo thinks because he is bigger and supposedly stronger he will beat Floyd but he is in for a rude awakening.

 

:deal
When you have some of the best defense in the history of the sport the ability to hand out boxing lessons and put on clinics at will time and time again you're not scared of anyone.:deal Only PBF haters would think otherwise.

 

If he wasn't scared of Canelo, then why did he need a catch weight of 152? he did the catchweight for "whatever reason"? the reason is because he's scared of Canelo, or worried about Canelo's punching power at 154. if he wasn't scared, then he would just fight him at 154 like he did against Cotto, and wouldn't do something highly unorthodox like demand a 152 catchweight when both guys hold 154 pound titles. there's obviously a reason why he needed the catchweight. it's not just "for whatever reason", there's always a reason, and the reason is he's scared, or worried about Canelo beating him at the very least.

It wasn't the same with Mosley. No titles were on the line against Mosley. It was a non-title fight. This is a unification fight where two 154 pound titles on the line. when was the last time titles were contested at a catch weight two pounds lower then a division limit? it's highly uncommon. Floyd can pretty much get away with anything at this point. he wanted the catch weight, his puppet DLH made it happen. it was the only way Floyd would fight Canelo.

 

Yes PBF was concened about the weight draining Gasnelo putting on 20 pounds plus on fight night the guy is a fucing LHW on fight night fighting at 154 FFS. While PBF on the other had won't even make the 154 limit on fight night and will be outweighed by 20 pounds or more. So the catch weight was more than fair and he's not scared of Canelo he will show you that on Sept. 14th when he sons him. The only thing Gasnelo has on PBF is size. If both were the same size you wouldn't even want PBF to fight him and PBF-Gasnelo wouldn't even be worth talking about.:deal

 

many fighters rehydrate to weigh 10-20 pounds more on fight night. it's perfectly legal and allowed for boxers to rehydrate to whatever weight their body gets to after they make the weight. if Floyd wanted to, he could weigh 153 and re-hydrate to 160+. but he chooses not to. Floyd is trying to change the rules to demand a 152 pound catch weight so that Canelo isn't as big on fight night.

...and if pigs could fly we'd all be millionares. you're making excuses for Money May. the bottom line is Canelo is bigger then Floyd, and stronger then Floyd, and that's why Floyd is trying to weaken Canelo by demanding a catch weight. Floyd wouldn't fight Canelo at the normal weight. This was done to benefit Floyd, not Canelo. Floyd is basically saying "screw the weight classes" since I'm Floyd Mayweather I get to choose what weight Canelo can come in at. This after making a big deal out of not draining Cotto and wanting his opponents to be at their best. The only reason why this is allowed to happen is because Floyd would not fight Canelo unless he got what he wanted. Floyd was the one who didn't want to fight at the normal weight limit, not Canelo.

 

Wrong Canelo is the one who suggested the catch weight. PBF doesn't owe Canelo ****, PBF is the cash cow of the sport the best fighter of this era and one of the best defensive fighters in the history of the sport. Canelo wants what PBF has not the other way around. PBF calls the shots here not Canelo.:deal BTW no need to make excuses becasue PBF is going to do in Canelo in on Sept 14th easy work.

 

No, you are just flat out wrong here. Canelo is not the one who suggested the catch weight.

Per Canelo's trainer Chepo Reynoso:

You're right that Floyd calls the shots. Obviously. He wouldn't fight unless there was a catch weight. He wanted a 150 limit, which is crazy considering Mayweather made a big deal for the Cotto fight about how "catch weights are meaningless". FMJ criticized Pacquiao for draining Cotto down and said he still considered Cotto undefeated becaue of that. lmfao.
