    lmao at the canelo fight. go to the thread before the fight.
    canelo's only claim to fame was beating trout whose claim to fame was beating a shot to **** cotto.

    then you realized that canelo has **** stamina at 154, now imagine what happens when you drain him some more.

    the mosley fight, there is some truth to it, until you realized that the mosley-margo was almost 2 years prior. and that was roided to the max mosley vs. margo who has just been defanged (no wraps).

    it took 2500 punches from mosley and an obviously distracte margo never went down.

    2 yrs and 2 camps later (by comparison, after almost 2yrs of retirement, floyd came back and who he fought? you can fill the rest here and it included cheating in the scales), an unroided, slow as **** granpa almost decapitated floyd, then inexplicably stopped punching. no roids?, ring rust?, no cardio due to overtraining with 2 camps, too old?

    doesnt matter. clearly, the mosley that beat margo wasnt the same guy in that ring against floyd.

    the guys that would beat/give floyds the m ost fits for one reason or another arent on floyd's resume.

    coincidence?

    id say, just carefully managed.

    Canelo's team put the 152 offer out there to begin with.

    Also, Canelo weighed in (on his own accord) 153 for the Trout fight, I doubt the extra pound had such a drastic effect if he was choosing to come under 154 in previous fights anyway.

    Also Canelo publicly said afterwards he had no problem with the weight.

    The rest of the curse is this. When he signs a fight everyone is claiming he's ducking(Shane, Canelo, Hatton, Baldomir sadly, soon to be Pac) they become cherry picks the minute the fight is signed and he gets no credit when preceding to dominate those same fighters then all the excuses for the so called at one point "boogeymen" begin to pour. He's too good which is why he's held to a higher standard than rockem sockem Manny or any fighter. His curse is just that he's the best. People can't handle this and throw in his ****y arrogant attitude, black skin for those who know their a bit racist and you got a modern day Jack Johnson with the skills to back it all up. When you back your words with action and you're the best, people will hate you even more especially in this no talent, reality tv fake celebrity age where kids don't go play outside, couch potato era of pussies. Manny is more of a reality TV star coddled by the media while Floyd just always had to deal with the hate, fed from it and continue to **** everyone off while he becomes boxing's most biggest and successful star. There won't be no objective rating of Floyd until he's retired for good.

    All this writing for nothing :patsch

    Pac can even box - marteniz only one strength against Floyd is his weight only .

    Neither one of these guys stands a chance to out box floyd.

    how can a guy who cant even box needs to be tested?

    thats not what floyd said. he did not say pac cant box.

    floyd said "he is walking down cotto". this is irrefutable. all you ahve is your opinion.

    my opinion is corroborated by floyd himself.

    pac's speed, power from a southpaw stance, and boundless stamina was too much for floyd.

    and matinez has only weight on floyd?

    how is weight an advantage if they weigh in the same at 147?

    and dont bull**** me avout fight night weight. he fought ortiz no problem.

    and what's stopping floyd to gain more weight if he is not comfortable fighting bigger people with his current weight, he has the size for it.

    pac is eating 5 times a day to campaign at 147, his 7th division.

    floyd is supposed to fight martinez in floyd's 4th division.

    floyd doesnt like it when the style matchup doesnt favor him, simple as.

    “I look at Miguel Cotto as an undefeated fighter because he faced Pacquiao, but Pacquiao caught him at a catch weight. He wasn’t the best Miguel Cotto. He was drained. He wasn’t hydrated.”

    Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe said it was simply the "A-side" fighter getting the upside over the "B-side" fighter. Mayweather usually fights at 147 pounds.

    "We just took advantage of a situation. It's no different from basketball, football or baseball," he said. "You're always going to put your opposition at a disadvantage, if you can. You break 'em down and you go in for the kill.

    You don't share **** .. All your post are irrelevant and lack any substance at all. Such as the worthless fact of Castellio Almost , Almost beating Floyd a decade ago, and your still moronic enough to still think that style would have some level success today! if you had any common sense or any knowledge of boxing, you have guessed that any fighter, fighting at floyd level would have improved way past what he or she was 10 years ago.

    Floyd of 2002 would not beat Floyd of 2013

    You make a good point, can't argue with that.

    BUT like I said before Canelo put the CW out there and Floyd's team took it. Canelo said he had no issue with the weight so...
