    I remember thinking like when canelo fought mayweather and even a little before that DLH as serious promoter was a good thing. Also that at least future ppv's would involve canelo most likely and he'll wanna make all the big fights when they should happen unlike of course spending crazy money all the time for mayweather's dominations with everything in his favor(most times). But my god I couldn't have been more wrong canelo acts and fights more like Floyd everytime I watch him.hopefully we don't have to wait for a year or two to see the rematch. my prediction they both fight tbd's next and rematch after That.

    He is waiting for GGG to get even more slower. And I doubt he will fight GGG in May too. He will wait till September again. If that is not using every advantage to win I don't know what is. And people still celebrate his cowardice.

    I'll give that to Floyd though. Never liked Floyd as a fighter but I have to recognize that he rematched his controversial fights right away. Maidana and Castillo.

    I don't know what you're saying. I know he almost always fought on the Mexican holiday in September. But from 1995 to 2003 he did not fight on Cinco de Mayo, because in his prime he wasn't limiting himself to just two fights a year.

    He just trained for Chavez and GGG back to back and paid off the $8MM judgment he lost. It's no surprise he's taking a hiatus.

    Could agree more, you would think by the overwhelming narrative that GGG should have won canelo should be asking the champ how soon can we fight.

    And for the record, 5 de Mayo is not a MEXICAN HOLIDAY! IT IS ONLY CELEBRATED IN PUEBLA, NOT THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. 5 DE MAYO IS A FLOYD MAYWEATHER THING. CANELO, THE "MEXICAN", COPIES THE AMERICAN FLOYD MAYWEATHER MORE AND MORE EVERY TIME.

    If he really wanted to fight on Mexican IMPORTANT HOLIDAYS, then September 16 and November 20 are it. Independence Day and Mexican Revolution. Those are the most important days in Mexico for Mexicans LIVING in Mexico.

    I said 'I don't know what you're saying' to be nice, instead of calling you an idiot. Because I previously said Oscar did not regularly fight on Cindo de Mayo till 2003 when he was 31, to make the point that because he didn't limit himself to two fights a year in his prime he was usually only able to fight on the September holiday. Then you bring up examples of later career dates in May, huh? My point remains: Oscar didn't establish the two Mexican holiday schedule till he was on a part-time, old fighter's schedule. I understand that he wants to be sure he owns the dates, but Canelo at his age could do better than that.

    The Floyd/Castillo rematch took about 8 months which is the same amount of time if the Canelo/GGG rematch happens in May. The Maidana/Floyd rematch simply went from Floyd's May date to the Sept date, pretty much what would have happened if Canelo/GGG I had taken place in May.

    You're simply looking for reasons to hate. lol

    You made some silly comment about hypocrites because YOU THINK 3G is on an only 2 fights/year cycle now. If he was settling into this, there would be no attempts to get a fight in December. It's not rocket science.
