If Floyd fights Canelo is it still a cherry pick?

    At this point, no. But I have my doubts as to whether or not Floyd will accept the challenge.

    i also wouldnt have an issue if floyd went for trout, if he feels like canelo might be too tough for him.

    Trout would be a very competetive for Floyd.

    Super fight doesnt mean it's not a mismatch like 147lb floyd vs 135lb Marquez or floyd vs 38 yr old mosely.I'd give him some credit but I'm still not buying canelos hype, he's basically been handed everything & is getting overpraised for his performance.Fight a threat for once in serg at 154lb & he'll get full credit win-lose.You can't hate when #1-#2 go at it like rigo-donaire.

    No, never even thought it was before.

    Problem is, I really don't think it will happen, no matter how bad Canelo wants it.

    i posted earlier floyd would go for it (without thinking), but if canelo walked in at 172 against trout, then you can forget a fight with floyd who started at super feather...?

    But forget about mayweather for a minute.. But wasnt Trout #2 and Canelo #1. He just beat the most available top fighter. Hes last fight vs Josito Lopez wasnt hes fault.. Victor Ortiz choked.. And he lost the fight. It was all set for ortiz vs canelo which imo would of got him more ratings if he won that proposed fight.. Instead of all this protected ****. Because i admt he used to be protected. But i dont think he is now? GBP have no choice but to not protect to him. They know the deal now. Canelo is now only allowe to fight in super fights or top contenders. GBP Know the deal.

    everyone gets on the bandwagon of a 'blood and guts warrior'

    suits floyd just fine

    No, Alvarez would probably be Floyd's biggest challenge in recent years
