    Canelo needs to improve a lot more. I just see a good solid fighter, he's very popular in Mexico, but he's gonna need to make big, big strides to be this "great" fighter.

    Canelo is the young hungry lion tipped as the next torch carrier of the sport. Don't try to claim that Floyd taking on Canelo was a cherry pic. Floyd just neutralised Canelo. We all know Canelo is a serious talent and regarded more highly by the boxing community than Bradley. If Floyd had never faught Canelo you would all be claiming hes ducking the real deal. Get a grip guys just because you dislike a fighter doesnt mean you have to talk nonsence. Many of you also looked at Guerrero as a serious challenger after he brutalised Berto but as soon as Floyd handles them with ease you discredit.

    Yep, no drinking, no drugging, just eating right and working out.

    Most atg's had drinking problems.

    Pac was a drinker.
    SRL was a drug abuser.
    Duran was a drinker.

    Floyd is motivated by money, and knows that he has to stay healthy to remain able.

    37 isn't old. It's just old if you don't take care of your body.

    pacquiao didn't look drained at 143, he looked great. mayweather has never proved he can go below 146 in 9 years. imo mayweather is a little bigger than pacquiao, he is taller and naturally carries more lean muscle than pacquiao.

    As much as I like GGG and Kovalev, they too are getting up there in age. Ward is too inactive and he's wasting his career away. Rigo is also up there in age, and he will never become a big star.

    Canelo has potential, but he's not on the elite level. With this loss, Bradley has a long way back. There are a lot of good fighters in boxing, but not many great ones outside of Pac and Floyd.

    I see Kell Brook becoming a potential star if he steps up. He's got loads of skills. There's also Mikey Garcia if he beats Gamboa. Crawford's got some potential, but he's also just very good.

    All of the demands you keep bringing up are no longer there. It is now 2014 and who is to blame now in your honest opinion?

    Like I said. Both are 150 on fight night thats all that matters. And if Floyd is bigger, it's by the smallest amount possible. He aint coming in the ring with a 15 pound weight advantage.

    Taller yes, not more muscled.

    Pac has calves like grapefruits.

    Floyd is built like a middle distance runner. Skinny arms and legs

    im watching the fight right now on a better screen. pac is too fast, his footwork too good for floyd. floyd would miss like timmy did when pac moved out of the way with his awesome footwork. floyd will continue to face slow footed fighters like maidana. he doesnt want none of pacquaio

    As much as I can't stand Floyd and would love to see someone legitimately beat him, Pacquiao has declined too much to dethrone him.

    there is a reason why he keeps facing slow footed fighters in a row. slow as- past it cotto had floyd in trouble. pac humiliates floyd and breaks floyds ankles:deal
