Of course mayweather took the fight, why? because

Mayweather is smart. Canelo is developing more and progressing towards his peak whilst mayweather is getting older and older. Time is against him. Better now than forced into this fight in two years... CAnelo is inexperienced at this class and quite limited as was witnessed against Trout.

 

This is stupid. People were clamoring for this bout and now that it's signed, sealed and delivered people want to talk about how inexperienced Canelo is now?

Hard for people to call FLoyd a cherrypicker anymore. He's literally taking on anyone from 140-154, including an extremely blown up JR MW in Alvarez. The weight discrepancy between Floyd and Alvarez is going to be pretty extreme come fight night. Canelo hydrates up in weight like a Supermiddleweight. Tough fight for Mayweather, but manageable.

 

This viewpoint would be more respected if you made a big stink about it before the fight was signed and got into some arguments with other posters expressing this viewpoint before the fight was signed. But posting this now after the fight is signed just makes you come off as a hater. Even though following your previous viewpoints on Mayweather and its clear that you are a hater.

I bet you are the same type of poster who will talk about foot work and hand speed now but have claimed how Margarito would give Mayweather all he could handle in the past and how Mayweather ducked him.

Then you say how Mayweather is terrified of speed but fought Judah who is faster then him and pac. While Pac has not faced one fighter with elite hand speed or athletic ability.

 

1. Ducked prime Pacquiao: Blame tattooed Pac and his fear of needles or whatever weekly excuse he provided to decline RBT. Paqc nor Arum never wanted that fight to begin with. It sounded good that they said they did, but then again when you have the Josh Clottey's of the world to fight....

2. Ducked prime Martinez: When was Martinez prime? He turned pro at 20 something you know. Was it when he was getting KTFO by Margs or struggling with Cintron? Maybe it was when he was toiling in obscurity in Spain and Argentina fighting cabbies for pocket change.

3. Ducked prime Margarito: Ah yes, my favorite myth. Ducked Margarito you say? Really? Hmm, well when you lose to Paul Williams you have to go to the back of the line. All Mr. Hand Wraps had to do was keep winning, but we know what happened there. Besides Floyd fought Baldomir for more money.

4. Ducked prime Cotto: Right! The same Cotto that Arum wanted to steer clear of Floyd?

44-0 and counting sounds pretty great to me.

 

1. Actually, i agree with that. I blame Manny far more than Floyd, who was trying to clean up the sport. Cant fault him for that

2. A few years ago when he had KO Williams. People were screaming for it. At last a legit challenge for the pretty one. The pretty one didnt want to know :-(

3. Nothing mythical about it. The video evidence is irrefutable.

4. Not sure who's to blame on this one not happening, but it was clearly THE fight to be made 4-5 years ago

 

Not a fan of catchweights, but other than that I can't think of a reason not to like this fight. It's the best option out there at the moment. A dangerous, larger, heavy handed opponent. Sure Mayweather probably wouldn't have taken the fight if he didn't think he was the most likely winner, but I still don't see better options at the moment.

 

Yeah and that's why the whole of the boxing world was calling out for this fight?

 

Just have to laugh.

Before this was announced the likes of you were giving Mayweather **** for not fighting Canelo, now it's announced you still can't give any credit.

Canelo is the toughest & biggest fight out there for Floyd at the minute, FACT.

 

There ARE no tough fights out there any more. FACT

 

Canelo is one of the best opponents out there. Get over it

 

What video evidence about Margs are you referring to? I hope it's not the video where Floyd was supposedly scared from Margs approaching him? This ought to be rich, I hope you can provide a source for this "irrefutable evidence" which really boils down to your particular opinion anyway.

I know Martinez was demanding a fight with Floyd and Manny and Cotto whom are all smaller than him, fought the king sized JCC but said no to Andre Ward, who is smaller than Chavez jr. I doubt the public demand for that fight was enormous, it was mainly Martinez, his closet homosexual nuthugging fans and Floyd haters who figured a Middlewight had the best chance to beat him.

As far as prime Cotto goes if he really wanted the fight I'm sure it would have happened. Everything I saw from Cotto back then when asked about Floyd was "I will let my promoter handle that" blah blah blah.

Whatever though, everyone has opinions...
