canelo pulling one out of floyds book. fight a guy 2 divisions smaller than you:good learn from the best:smoke
Floyd wasn't defending a title. In fact, it was a non-title bout and Floyd was coming off an 18 month layoff. Not the same thing.
Pacroid pulled Brandon Rios up 2 divisions.:deal Jmm COLD****ED Pactrash at 147.. Too bad Floyd pulled him all the way up to destroy Arum's puppet.
Floyd Mayweather disgraced boxing for what he did to Marquez. He took a career featherweight and dragged him up to Welterweight. And then Mayweather didn't even make weight.
JMM wanted the fight:yep and STAYED at 147 afterwards...destoying Pactrash at that disgraceful weight.
Are you comparing JMM to Amir Khan? Hate to seem like I'm defending that fight but the circumstances have some key differences. JMM was in everyone's p4p list back then and Mayweather was coming back from another long lay off. Amir Khan is title-less at his current weight and is yet to have an real success there and is now moving up two divisions. Oh, and he's Amir Khan. Who nobody rates outside of his own family. Who incidentally also know he has no chance of winning this fight.
I wasn't comparing the two fighters. Please re-read what I wrote and read what the OP said. The two scenarios are nothing alike was my point. And for the record: JMM ****s all over Amir Khan. JMM is one of the greatest Mexican boxers in history. Khan is a foot note in boxing history, at best.
