    How you forget Floyd said yes to Mannys 10 million dollar per pound weight clause, despite never failing to make 147 ever. But Manny ran from Stricter testing just like he did v Mosley, Marquez, Bradley fixed for you eh!

    What? I didn't day anything about that. It's all exhausting. The fact that they didn't meet till 2015 is a massive dissapointment for me.

    Watch him in that fight compared to how he is now..... clearly when Floyd got to him he wasn't the fighter he is today so clearly green.

    Also if you think retired Floyd of today beats him now you need your head checking.

    Canelo was not a green fighter he was a seasoned world champion with 7 defences. There is really nothing Canelo can do to beat Floyd his style is predictable and he does not have the power to stop him at 154. Canelo was an easy fight for Floyd.

    Are you really that blind to realise that the Canelo from back then - over 7 years ago - is far removed from the fighter he is today?

    These aren’t mutually exclusive ideas. Canelo wasn’t green as such but he certainly wasn’t the fight he is today either. He’s improved massively. But he was already a good fighter then, just not as good.

    Of course he has improved in the 7 years since but not from green to elite from 'world championship level' to elite. To suggest Floyd would entertain a 'green' fighter is ludicrous. He earned the right to fight him.

    Well he did entertain a green fighter and there were 2 clear reasons.... 1. It generated big money and 2. He knew he was getting Canelo at the right time. The win on his resume has gotten better year after year.

    Floyd got him early before he became what we see him as now.

    I have really like the way Lopez has handled everything after smashing Loma in.....

    I liked his quote about people forgetting there was 'Pretty Boy' Floyd before the Money man ....

    I think this is where a lot of haters are confused
