    if lucas had won then that could've been sold because people would believe he'd knock money out.floyd can't be 154 if he weighs 150 on fight night.canelo,no.why should saul be paid to take boxing lessons?

    Unfortunately, I fear this may be one of the great re-matches lost to history, like Calzaghe-Lacy II and Whitaker-Haugen II.

    I don't even reckon Canelo would really want a rematch. Must have been mentally tough on him that

    Even with his size advantage Saul wasn't able to do anything.

    Boxing is a sport that shouldn't be about small skilled men fighting bigger and bigger opponents just to find some competition.

    Boxing is not that. Was it like that for FMJ vs Cotto? FMJ has got people so convoluted into his excuses that people don't realize what is actually supposed to be considered normal. Floyd only weighed 1.5 lbs less than Canelo at the weigh-in. FMJ is not that much smaller than Canelo. Sure Canelo gains weight after the weigh-in, which he is allowed to do. Floyd doesn't, but that extra 10-15 lbs is not pure muscle, it's mostly water.

    GoodOldBoy, you're acting like Canelo still had a huge size advantage, after FMJ drained him to 152 lbs. Dude weighed 7 lbs less than he did vs Trout while defending the same title, and he's still too big?

    There was not that much of a size advantage in this fight. People are acting like Floyd was David and Canelo was Goliath and it was Floyd who had the cards stacked against him. lol nothing could be further from the truth.

    Floyd didn't win a legit 154 title. Canelo doesn't just provide "competition". He deserves a fair shot vs Mayweather, and he didn't get that here with the Catchweight BS. The boxing public needs to realize what happened here and why a rematch is warranted. For the sake of the sport and the future of the 154 lb division.

    Why wouldn't he want one? It was a majority decision, where one judge had it a draw, in a fight where he was weight drained by 2 lbs. Canelo proved himself throughout this entire process, now he knows he can beat Floyd if he had a proper training camp and a normal 154 lb fight.

    Fact is, he wasn't weight drained but brain drained. This was a schooling in the art of boxing. Canelo acted like a child and got treated as such. The 114-114 score was premeditated irresponsibility and that judge should be removed from judging fights of this magnitude. Canelo didn't make any excuses and I'm not accepting any on his behalf. Like a previous poster said,the only rematch that should happen is him and Trout and if he don't want that then Lara is waiting on his ass with the intent to do great bodily harm.:lol: What he proved is that he is a B plus fighter and hype won't make you an A plus fighter, just a well schooled B plus fighter.:bbb

    The scores were 114-114, 116-112, and 117-111, that's no where near a shutout. It was the closest FMJ fight since DLH.

    Canelo is really good for his age, but Money was like a ghost. Maybe later if Mayweather doesn't retire.

    Rematch?

    The fight was a border line shut out.
