    You guys acted like the 114-114 May/Canelo card was not atrocious. I can't take you seriously.

    And subtract Floyd. No proof at all that he was a drug cheat. Canelo was caught and that's just facts.

    Canelo wants to drag Mayweather out of retirement by provoking his ego and making a mega payday so to that end, it's a smart play.

    I never thought o would say this but I used to argue with Floyd haters that it was Oscar jealous of Floyd,,, they would argue that Floyd wanted to be like Oscar and that he envies him since they were fighters and Oscar was getting all the attention and glory.

    Floyd you are retired and a promoter! Promote your fighters instead of promoting yourself! You had your time! Don’t comeback and possibly tarnish your legacy and marketing tool! If you lose nobody will want to ever see you or hear from you again.

    Sorry but I think you're failing to grasp a key fundamental of boxing. Feinting is part of the textbook, but off you think not reacting to a feint is a good thing watch the fight again.
    When Canelo feinted Floyd reacted immediately which is why Canelo rarely if ever capitalised and pulled the trigger. Canelo is an absolutely superb boxer, I'm in the minority who thought her best Golovkin both fights, but Floyd isn't a superb boxer. He's a master at his craft. He used Canelo's feints against him as every time he threw Mayweather countered him. He forced him to stop throwing, it wasn't by accident. 35 times Floyd made him totally hesitant to throw.

    He barely won a second of that fight, and it's one of the only fights in recent memory where two huge profile fighters, one utterly dominated and shut the other out.

    Yeah of course he did or there wouldn't have been a fight. Canelo had little choice in the matter, do you think he wanted to fight at 152lbs when he could barely make 154 comfortably? Lol

    He was 23yo! Yeah, I think he could shed the 2 pounds. He fought several times at 154 and never missed weight after the FM fight. Stop making excuses! You're probably one of those jackasses that believe Floyd wanting to fight Cotto at 140 was because Floyd knew Cotto "struggled" to make weight. Dummies don't realize a fighter struggling to make weight isn't public knowledge, especially to other fighters. So how Floyd knew both Cotto and Canelo struggled to make weight is beyond me. Also why would Canelo suggest fighting at 152 if he struggled to make 154? Get at me when you can answer that!

    You make it sound like the catchweight was Canelo's idea, that it was his plan to drain himself to make it easier for Floyd to beat him. Here's what really happened : way back in 2011, Canelo was asked if he wanted to fight Floyd and was asked about a catchweight. He expressed interest in fighting Floyd, as anybody would.

    At that time Floyd was fighting exclusively at 147, so a catchweight made more sense. Canelo was 2 years younger than he was when he fought Floyd, had an easier time making 154 back then. However after that interview Floyd moved up to 154 to fight Cotto, and he fought Cotto at the full 154 limit and stated in the pre-fight to Cotto that he wants to fight Cotto at 154, at Cotto's best weight, because he said he still considered Cotto an undefeated fighter because of how Pac drained him and due to Margarito's loaded gloves.

    Floyd won that fight and became a 154-lb champion. So with Floyd being a 154-lb champ, the idea of a catchweight to fight Canelo no longer made sense and no longer was appropriate. But that didn't stop Floyd from being a hypocrite regarding catchweights (after criticizing Pacquiao for doing it to Cotto) and using that quote from 2011 to demand a catchweight for Canelo. Even after he just won a 154-lb title and made a point to fight Cotto at 154.

    Do you see that it was a different scenario back in 2011 when Canelo was asked that question about fighting Floyd at a catchweight? At that point he had an easier time making 154 than he did two years later, and Floyd was not a 154-lb champion like he was when he fought Canelo.

    All 3 judges (not just Ross) disagree that it was a shutout. It's one thing to be aghast at Ross's card as an outlier judge. But the other two judges giving Canelo 3 and 4 rounds respectfully disprove the idea that it was a shutout or an utter domination.
