    It doesn't bother me. PBF got the win and that's all that matters and will forever have that over you and canelo.

    If a faded version of PBF schooled Canelo, what do you think a prime one would do?:deal:
    Maybe you can start a gofundme for Canelo and his brother to get that tattoo removed. LMFAO!!!

    If someone here thinks that 36 y.o Mayweather was in his highest peak of physical shape prime this might make me laugh. Free circus without paying for ticket.

    If the win is all that matters then you wouldn't be trying to boost up and exaggerate the win by saying Floyd was faded or an "old man" when he was clearly still at the top of his game and was universally recognized as the P4P #1 fighter in the sport.
    If a pre-primed drained greenelo could take P4P #1 still prime Floyd the distance and to his limit and get a close MD, then what do you think current Canelo would do to Floyd?

    There's much less of a difference between Peak Floyd and 36 year Old Floyd than 23 year old Canelo who fought Floyd and Current Peak Canelo. Canelo has improved since then much more than Floyd fell from his peak to when they fought. Floyd never really dropped off from fight to fight from his peak until he retired. He maintained near peak form into his mid 30's you know that.

    From this photo in Ring Magazine from July 2013 we can see that the Ring still did not have Canelo in their Top 10, so they did not move Canelo into their P4P Top 10 after his win over Trout:

    https://p4pboxingreport.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/pound4pound-rankings-july-2013-ring-magazine.jpg

    He was still outside of the Ring's P4P Top 10 in July 2013. Floyd fought Canelo in Sept, so what happened?

    So we can see that Guerrero was still #8 even after losing to Floyd. Bradley and Doniare who were #9 and #10 did not fight between July and Sept. I'm guessing they revoted in August after Floyd vs Canelo was announced and moved Guerrero out of their Top 10 and replaced him with Canelo.

    But this shows that Canelo was not considered P4P Top 10 after he beat Trout or before he agreed to fight Floyd. If they moved him into #9 between July and Sept, it was only because it was announced that he was fighting Floyd, not because he was considered P4P Top 10 before that.

    Not his peak, but still in his prime. Do you understand the difference between peak and prime? He was P4P #1 at 36, how was he #1 P4P if he wasn't still at or near his peak? And if he wasn't still in his prime at 36, then when specifically did he fall out of his prime?

    Irrelevant he beat him past his prime in his 5th weight class. The rest is just excuses looking to discredit the win.

    Let's see canelo at 36 in his 5th weight class take on a 23 year old fighter the same caliber of himself at 23 and the champ of a division and beat him easily. Then I will come here and tell you that canelo was not passed his prime and the other guy was green and try and discredit his win and see how you react? Hell you react badly if someone says pbf schooled canelo I'd hate to see how you'd react then.

    Take that up with the ring magazine, not me. Btw the Trout win was very impressive. Trout had just dominated cotto.

    I know that you are really obsessed with Canelo, he might be happy to have fans like you.

    Your intent here is to till to insist that he had won fight vs in prime Floyd Jr.

    Sorry, he did not had won nor vs Floyd Jr nor vs GGG and be calm and go to the hell with US cards for fight Canelo vs GGG I, it is laughable.
    Go to the HELL.

    Yes it was very impressive, but it apparently wasn't enough for the Ring to put him into the P4P #1. As their July rankings 3 months after he beat Trout still had him outside their P4P Top 10. Then if right before he fought Floyd the Ring decided to move him in at #9. All I'm saying is he wasn't considered P4P Top 10 prior to fighting Floyd. It would have been a last minute jump into the Top 10 right before he fought Floyd not that he was considered Top 10 P4P material prior to that. He was in the #11 - #15 range that summer. It sounds to me like the announcement that he was fighting Floyd made the difference and jumped him into the Ring's Top 10 just in time for the Floyd fight, not before that. Anotherwords they moved him into their P4P at the last minute to give Floyd a Top 10 P4P opponent.

    He would get stepped on. Imagine a 140 lber fighting a 168 lber.

    LOL do you understand that Prime Floyd was at welterweight or even Jr welterweight? Prime Canelo is at Super Middleweight. Prime Floyd could beat 154-lb Canelo, yes but the difference between 140 / 147 lbs and 168 lbs is too great for Floyd to overcome. Not to mention Canelo has looked unbeatable vs previously undefeated and Prime SMWs. Prime Floyd could not beat SMW Canelo because of the massive weight difference and how much better Canelo is now than when they fought. Comprende?
    What are you saying lol. Canelo lost to Floyd when they fought and drawed and beat GGG. Sorry that Canelo beat your GGG. It happened get over it. I accept that Canelo lost to Floyd. It is Floyd fans who say he won wider than cards just like GGG fans say he really beat Canelo and judges were wrong. I agree with the judges, unlike you and Floyd fans, in these fights and have no problem with the verdicts. Canelo loss to Floyd was the best thing that ever happened to him. It motivated him to be his best and he went on to beat GGG. It was a great thing for Canelo that loss to Floyd.

    Imagine a LWW Floyd fighting a SMW Canelo? You for real? What a mental statement :lol: ..

    Gatti was a career super featherweight anyway mostly & he'd had all those wars with Ward, Robinson etc by that point.. he was one foot out the door & shopworn to fk

    How does ****ing that Gatti up at 140 translate to beating up a 30 year old SMW Canelo? LOL..

    Floyd couldn't get to 168 let alone beat Canelo at it..
