    He was criticising the possible Mayweather fights. Even if he is right he should stay F quiet about Floyd because when they fought he didn’t win a single round against him and of course they were trying to rob Mayweather as well.

    Floyd is 42-43, why should he fight against a 28 years old 168 fighter who got busted for P.E.D. and basically all of his scorecards are fixed. They would rob Mayweather now for easily.

    Also I don’t feel sorry for DeLaH too. They robbed GGG twice and that was his job.

    He just can’t let go of the spotlight can he?, Floyd ‘happily retired’ Mayweather.

    But hey ho, at least he has given Espinoza some material to jack off too.

    I don't like Canelo but he leaves McGregor in a similar heap to the one he left Khan in but this time within 3. Maybe earlier.

    Floyd didn't whoop him but you're right about how those extra couple of pounds are the killers. The catchweight may have been the difference between Canelo beating Floyd and Canelo losing to Floyd on points.

    Canelo's never really done what Floyd did to him in terms of being a weight bully. Both men were already established champions at 154, Floyd the year before beat Cotto at 154 so as it was a unification fight at 154 a catchweight was not appropriate. It's not the same as Canelo fighting JCC Jr at 164.5 or there being a rehydration limit vs Fielding. The catchweight in Floyd Canelo was much worse and more inappropriate than Canelo JCC Jr's catchweight or the rehydration limit vs Fielding. Canelo is not a champ at 168 and he's never fought at the SMW limit so there's more justification for a catchweight in those scenarios, though I still don't condone it, it is a big difference between those and Canelo Floyd being at 152.

    I heard Lampley say something about how in 2019 all title fights will have mandatory 10 lb rehydration limits the morning of the fight. So that is true, and if there will be 10 lb mandatory rehydration limits starting in January, then having one in Canelo Fielding isn't really a big deal if it's something that will be normalized throughout the sport in 2019.

    Finally I agree that Floyd will never rematch Canelo that he'd get slaughtered at 160 and that at this point it would be unsafe for Canelo to get back down to 154. So we agree on some stuff BCS8, disagree on others. Though I bet Canelo would agree to another catchweight, maybe 156 or 158 if it got Floyd in the ring. I don't think he'd have as much trouble making 158 for Floyd in 2019 than he did making 152 in 2013. I think the Canelo Floyd catchweight started a big catchweight and weight bullying trend in the sport.

    First of all Floyd last month announced in a Japan nightclub I believe that he'd be coming back soon to fight Pacquiao in a rematch. So Floyd put that out there, he's talking about coming back, Canelo is constantly asked about fighting Floyd again. What's he gonna say : no I don't want to fight Floyd? Of course he wants to fight Floyd again, and saying that is in no way disrespectful towards Floyd. Canelo has always been respectful of Floyd so I don't see where Canelo has done any trash talking.

    There's been a concerted effort to justify Floyd not rematching Canelo by making claims like Canelo didn't win a single round vs Floyd which is patently un true. No one can take away the victory over Canelo from Floyd, but when you consider he needed a catchweight to fight Canelo, and needed to pull a veil over fans eyes so he wouldn't have to rematch Canelo, well you can't deny that Floyd comes off as cowardly. Floyd should have rematched Canelo. They could have had a trilogy, but Floyd didn't want that work. If it was so easy for Floyd to beat Canelo, then he would have gladly given Canelo a rematch as it was a massive payday at the time and we know how much Floyd loves $$$.

    As if FMJ hadn't taken PEDs himself.
    Why exactly does an ex SFW need an IV to rehydrate for after making WW?

    Manny is no cleaner either, in his last fight when he wasnt tested his body went right back to looking like it did 2009 when he was the 2nd Cheater in one year to give Cotto a beating


    Marquez probably realized what was going on and hopped on steroids too.

    Whole clean boxing thing is and has always been a joke at the top level.

    I did notice a big performance increase from Pacquiao in his last fight. he looked so much better than he had looked over the last few years I wonder if it was due to PEDs.

    What coincidence that there was no testing in camp and only at the fight.
    Hmmm surely this doesn't smell fishy at all.

    I feel bad for Cotto, morales and Bradley who took potentially career damaging punishment from him when he was on his juiced up run from the 2nd Morales fight all the way up to the 4th Marquez fight.

    If you watched his career closely it becomes very obvious when his PED abuse really started becoming blatant, the 2nd Morales fight where he just had that little extra to push through Morales when Morales was able to push HIM back and keep him on the outside the first time. As malignaggi said his cotto performance was also very fishy. Cotto is a very strong guy, ask Mosley , what he did to him wasn't normal.


    The calf cramps are a telltale sign(if his performances and weird excuses for refusing to take the test for Mayweather aren't enough)



    Mayweather on the other hand probably took enough stuff in those 2 years he took off to benefit for years to come he was then able to come off several weeks before the fights, take the tests and still perform very well in his fights because of the residual bemefits you get from PEDs even after you stop

    Let's see. In the last few years, Floyd beat the crap out of and stopped Conor McGregor, is opening gyms in and establishing ties with Russia and Japan, defending Trump, and making Mexican beef jokes putting down Canelo.

    He's starting to win me over and is turning me into a legit fanboy. TBE! TBE! TBE!:number_one:
