Did Mayweather actually just say Canelo should duck elite prime fighters?

    Actually no!
    After Pacquiao got schooled by JMM in their 3rd fight, it lead for most boxing ****ysts to conclude that Pacquiao's chances vs a bigger and faster boxing master like Floyd would be very slim.

    KTFO6 put the nails in the coffin of Pacquiao's chances vs Mayweather.

    Yeah but the ppv numbers don't match what you and many people are saying NOW.:lol: Many still believed that Pac could beat Floyd which is why Floyd got criticized for being too defensive. In fact so many believed in Pac that their fight shattered all ppv records.

    Giving him the same advice as how he handled the second half of his career.

    Knowledgeable fight fans knew Pacquiao's chances were slim.
    The fight itself shattered records because the fight had been hyped and talked about for 5 years before it actually happened, and with most of the PPV audience, their knowledge of boxing is watching a PPV fight or 2 per year.
    In other words, 99% of the viewers who tuned in to watch Mayweather Pacquiao DKSAB, and that's putting it mildly my friend.
    .......which takes us back to the premise of this very thread and why Mayweather would advise Canelo against fighting GGG in the very near future.
    Mayweather's way has been proven to be the correct way to draw PPV's. His way would be for Canelo to stay clear of GGG or any real threat until its primed and ready to make real money in terms of the people that DKSAB tuning in and shelling out 100 smackers each to watch the fight.

    History shows that Mayweather moved up for bigger challenges throught out his career. The little Kazark is scared to move up one weight class. Instead of fighting for glory, and honor, he's settling for Mayweather's leftovers.

    Um, pac got KTFO and lost already pre Floyd. While he was still game and wouldn't really say he's washed up, he was obviously no longer prime and had that injury. But Floyd knew all this (minus the shoulder until training for the fight his mole in manny's camp told him). but he knew Pac was no longer the same guy he was 5-6 years before, and THIS IS WHY FLOYD FOUGHT HIM.

    Oh give it a rest, As if Floyd planned and knew this fight would turn out like that PPV wise. It just happened like that and Floyd wants to act like he did that on purpose when the truth was Floyd was ducking Manny when they really should have fought, because he was scared to lose and scared for his health, WHICH IS ON YOUTUBE and floyd said that himself! So enough with this master plan bs. Canelo has no idea where GGG or himself will be in a couple years or even if he's still fighting so you take the fight when you can, unless you're Floyd and too chicken.

    Not this sewer rat again.:-(

    No need to make up lies, Mayweather weighed 150 lbs for 154 lbs fight against Oscar dela Hoya back in 07, that's not a sign of someone that grew out a weight class. Conceded every advantage to Dela Hoya in that fight.

    Canelo, who many swore Mayweather will never get in the ring with outweighed Mayweather by at least 15lbs on fight.

    The same thing happened against Madiana who rehydrated to 165lbs on fight night against Mayweather's 148lbs.

    You're an angry moron that feels inadequate because you know you can't do what Mayweather was able to do in his career.

    Now read what trainer of Mayweather's greatest adversary Freddie Roach had to say recently about Mayweather and where he stands historically.

    He's absolutely correct. You've named oscar, who was well past his prime and if anything made Floyd look bad winning 4-5 rounds off him and making it a closer fight than he should have been at that stage in oscar's career, Canelo, who hadn't faced one elite competitor before Floyd and was tailor made with his slow, plodding style, and then Maidana, another slow plodding good for this generation fighter, but far from elite.
    The fact remains, and every true non biased fan knows, Floyd has only fought 2 elite/prime fighters his entire career! Arguably 3 if you call Cotto an elite. The rest are all nobodies or washed up greats.

    Had Floyd actually faced and beat Kosta, Freitas, Spadafora, Williams and then Pac 5 years ago and GGG to finish his career, then we have an argument for the #1 ATG spot, but he fell FAR from that ranking cherry picking his whole career only to end with Berto lol. Give floyd credit for being undefeated, but not much credit for fighting the absolute best available opponent.

    If you haven't Mayweather credit for everything his been able to accomplish by now, I doubt you will give Mayweather credit for beating over-hyped 33 year old fraud like Golovkin, who's biggest win till date is Daniel Geale.

    Freitas? Freitas the quiter? Dude you're a joke. :-(

    Please don't get me started with Spadofora. Who did Spadafora beat?

    Gentlemen this is what happens when you're a habitual hater. You begin to make assertions that makes no sense.

    The fact that the fight should have happened five years earlier was a constant chorus!
