    Actually no it was contact issues showtime/hbo and that wasn’t a big enough fight to make,
    Canelo is my favorite fighter right now so I got nothing but respect it not him it’s the comp these new fighters scared to fight. Judah love him or hate him is no paper champ guys like Plant Charlo Andrade while good wins who have they beat to be called CHAMPIONS

    In this forum, any fighter that has not fought Floyd makes that fighter better than any of Floyd's opponents. Refer to Margarito the bogeyman, GGG. It doesn't matter that Floyd beat Canelo or Pac heas up.

    No one should count Canelo's win over Mosley as anything special at all.

    As well as Kovalev, but both are big names and great boxers in his prime, not the washed up version Canelo fought, but still he has the names on his record

    Yeah? I know that. Casuals only look at name value. I don't care what casual fans think.

    I don't either, but I was talking about names they fought, Canelo and Mayweather, Floyd also has a lot of asterisk wins against great names and as many controversial fights as Canelo. Casuals only care about names, they know 0 circumstances about fights and fighters. If Canelo fights SRL tomorrow, they will say ginger beat SRL and is TBE, don't even caring about him beating a pensioner

    What about Pac's win over Mosley a year earlier. Was that anything special? A year before that, so-called washed up Mosley had Mayweather all wobbily legged in the 2nd round. A year before that Mosley gave Antonio Margarito a beatdown.

    How much did Mosley really deteriorate between 2009 and 2012? Mayweather, Pac and Canelo each beat Mosley with a comparable level of ease within a year of each other, outside of Mayweather's nightmare round 2.
