    Masterful performance by floyd. Even when his reflexes and footwork is not what they used to be, he made canelo pay for his mistakes. What a phenom, i just hope he fights pac to solidify his already atg career

    He fought Canelo.

    The mans best performance was against Matthew Hatton.

    Let Floyd fight the best in that division and we will see what we will see.

    If thats how your going to start this thread then I think you should just quit.

    My post was about the limitations in Canelo and not how skilled Floyd is. And Floyd is a great fighter , but the barometer is not Canelo.

    I've got a feeling his win against Canelo wont be seen as that great in a year or two.

    only way canelo would win is because of his size.

    people thought that the guy who beat trout would have a great chance of beating mayweather if he can put the pressure and catches him with something solid.

    unfortunately, what the people dont realize, the 152 canelo isnt the same guy that beat trout.

    floyd took canelo's only chance.

    floyd yet again found another way to **** on his legacy.

    umm, btw, dela hoya sold out canelo. he shouldnt have agreed to the c/w but he got greedy, or scared or both.

    that's why dela hoya sold him out.

    if they pass on the fight, floyd wont look back.

    money or canelo's career? dela hoya chose money and ran with it all the way to the rehab.

    So you think Canelo's career is over due to the fact that he's praticlly an old geezer now?

    Oh wait that's not the case at all. He just lost to an atg and he's got Plenty of time to rebuild his career. It wasn't like he took a major beating or so in the fight.

    So Canelo weighing in at 1 lb under what he weighed in for Trout is putting him at a disadvantage?

    You guys are terrible.

    Progamer never post anything with substance. He just goes off with no filter kind of how LanceUppercut use to. The only thing he has ever posted related to boxing was some **** about Manny's left not being able to be stopped by Floyd and even he got that wrong. This place is infected with trolls and rejuvenated *******s.

    Regardless of how limited he is, Canelo is a fighter with solid skills who had a 15-20 lb weight advantage. And Floyd dominated him. That's an incredible feat. No one has done that sort of thing since the likes of Greb, Armstrong, etc.

    Yes, Floyd still needs to man up and fight the best of his own division, no question. But don't discredit the Canelo win. I don't see any other jr welters/welters chomping at the bit to take on guys 20 lbs heavier than them.

    Pac vs Clottey
    Pac vs Margarito

    These were wider in weight on fight night than Floyd vs Canelo.

    and pac fighting in his 7th and 8th.

    ill be impress with floyd if he tries on his 6th and dominate.

    then again he just asked for c/w in his 5th, so.

    call me unimpressed.

    more like a 15-20 lb weight disadvantage, floyd came in light as a feather and used that to to be lighter on his feet, pretty smart strategy and it worked for him.
