    “If Canelo was the best, he wouldn't be looking for so many excuses (not) to fight Benavidez and Bivol. During my career I didn't avoid anyone. I beat them all. Everyone saw , I came out on top. It's simple, if he wants to compare himself to me, give Bivol his revenge and Benavidez his chance. Otherwise you would just be the disgrace of Mexican boxing.”

    - FLOYD MAYWEATHER


    Imagine if Ali continued to call himself "the greatest" but ducked Frazier (after he lost to him) and avoided Foreman.

    That's how stupid Canelo supporters look right now making all these excuses for why he hasn't rematched Bivol and refuses to fight Benavidez.

    Yeah, it’s weak sauce, but floyd was no better. I don’t know who he thinks he’s bullshitting.

    "During my career I didn't avoid anyone. " Margo? Kosta Tszyu? Manny before the KO loss to JJM? Khan (but I think FMjr picks him apart)? Paul Williams? Undeniable talent, up there with SRL, Monzon, Benny Leonard, but dont insert foot into mouth.

    To be fair GGG at 160 was a step too far for Floyd and everybody knew it. But I'm not sure how effective a weight drained Golovkin at 154 would have been. If he was any good Floyd would have been in trouble. The real problem isn't the fight not being made; it's Floyd talking **** about somebody and not backing it up.

    Same thing. He retired to let them smash each other to bits then pick up the pieces. Waiting them out.

    Canelo is pretty much following Floyd's blue print of ducking and cherry picking.

    Canelo literally only ducked Benavidez? He kinda made GGG wait but GGG also couldve just taken the CW. Either way Canelo has an outstanding resume - best in boxing and its not close.

    With that being said, Canelo clearly ducked Benavidez
