When you say it`s hard to see Floyd getting stopped do mean by any fighter in history or just in his era? Hearns would have stopped Floyd at 147, 154 or 160 (pre Hagler fight).
An over 40 year old retired fighter that has never fought at 160 fighting Canelo in his prime who's just KO'd a LHW...….. Canelo.
A close fight? One judge thought so, corrupt of course. Floyd won minimum 10 rounds in that fight . . . . .
Oh please God no and him making Canelo fight at a handicap of 152 suggests he wouldn’t of fancied then either. Floyd wouldn’t be able to fight the same fight against a big Canelo.
Lol Shadow both you and Isal have always gone back n forth with me over Canelo and I might add that we’ve never been nasty about it.I can respect your opinions but I do sometimes wonder if you truly believe em or just having a wind up. It’s one of my all time favourite fights actually and I’ve seen a ton of times.Canelo played a part in taking such a fight at that age but his game plan was all wrong. I’m not gonna thrash out the scores again but merely point out Canelos own words after the fight which was something like “I’m very disappointed I just couldn’t lay a glove on him the whole fight”. That’s coming from the guy who lost so why you’d wanna change Canelos own narrative is beyond me and you do know you can get respect in a loss,more so than winning by bad judging?
So there's 15 muppets that think that fossilized Floyd can step up to the highest weight class he's ever been at and beat a guy bursting out of his seams like Canelo who's in his prime. People complain about trickery and corruption in boxing but the only reason it exists is because the fans are so guillible. I bet 5 years from now the same 15 guys would still be picking Floyd on his zimmer frame and actually believe it
Have I ever argued that Canelo didn't lose the bout? I just got done talking about how his performance was a mixed bag. My stance has always been "yes he lost but lets not exaggerate and act like it was a walk in the park for Floyd". You can't deny that Canelo had his moment in the match, and I've cited those moments so people can rewatch and verify what I'm talking about. Floyd won it was a great performance by Floyd but the first 6 rounds were the closest rounds of Floyd's career imho.
I think rematches take too long to happen across the board.I have some suspicions as to why it’s done? Canelo got banned for Clenbuterol so it would of happened sooner.I know Golovkin was still prepared to fight but any whiff of PEDs now and they just cancel.
No I know what you’ve always thought and I’m telling you there’s no possible way on earth you could find six rounds for Canelo under normal scoring criteria. Nonetheless that fight remains a favourite of mine and I’d say the same if Canelo won.
Nobody is reaching their physical "prime" at 28 years old man. His absolute prime, matching the height of his boxing mind and skills to his physical peak, was at 154lbs vs Liam Smith. Now he's just a very talented stocky man packed into a 5'7" frame that's talented enough to compete at 168lbs or 175lbs if matched correctly.
