Floyd no credit vs Canelo

I mean this isn't new information lol, it's been available for 20 years or so.

Floyd demanded vada or whatever it was as a ducking strategy, Manny should have just called his bluff and agreed. It's pretty much standard practice now.

 

Like I said, you've already admitted your bias. You credit Pac for winning a catchweight fight but not Floyd. That's your choice.

 

it was only a 1.5lb catch weight though. I don't think it effected Canelo at all, he still looked the same as usual the difference was Floyd was way too fast and slick for him. A few extra pounds would not have changed anything.

 

Why do it then?

 

Because it might psychologically mess with Canelo.

 

There you go then. If it didn't make a difference he wouldn't have insisted on it.

 

I don't think it a worthwhile difference. You also seem to think just because Floyd thought it might make a difference that it means it actually did. End of the day Canelo was completely outclassed and would have been if Canelo had been 10lbs heavier. He could not hurt or KO Floyd because he could never hit him clean, whats 1.5lbs got to do with that?

 

What im saying is the catchweight was put on for a reason. There's a reason Floyd wouldn't fight at 153 pounds.

 

Floyd and Pac are both rule bending cheats what’s your point?

 

Floyd gets HUGE credit for me in this fight - whilst Canelo was arguably a bit drained (I don't by the green argument, aside form maybe green against elites?), this was one of Floyd's most masterful displays IMO; he stayed in the pocket all night, made Canelo miss and pay repeatedly.

One of the best displays of the sweet science I can remember tbh, Money really showed just how great he can be in this fight.

 

Canelo was a world level fighter when Floyd beat him. Of course Canelo developed into a better fighter in the years after but Floyd was nearing retirement.

They were from different generations and the fight took place at the best possible time considering their ages.
