    Pacquiao never fought someone much bigger than him that was as skilled and knew what defense is like Alvarez does. Wouldn't dare. Margo sucked but that weight difference is nothing to scoff at. Takes heart to go toe to toe with a guy about 20 pds heavier than you punching bag or not.

    Back to the point, yeah I mentioned he's fought past prime/declining guys at 154. Floyd nuthuggers clearly want him protected and want to settle with C-D opposition from Floyd other than fights that would actually help boxing.

    :bbb Fight needs to happen. Would be career defining yet his so-called "fans" are against it.

    And this is a very winnable fight for Floyd i can only imagine how these bitches would behave if there was someone around today like Tommy Hearns a guy he couldnt possibly beat, what a pathetic bunch.

    should they force Canelo to fight Andre Ward?

    If Canelo was ranked no. 1 at Middleweight and held a belt then everyone would be calling for that fight, or at least they would be if JCC had won and not failed a drug test.

    I believe Sooner or later Floyds going to have to give something back to GBP, he cant simply cherry pick his way to the end, this is a business and it will come down to business.

    Oscar: Floyd we did our best making you the most money getting you the easiest fights out there and used our bogus ranking Ring System to justify those fights for you, its time we focus on the future as your career is over, lets get it on with Canelo......

    thats what its coming down to sooner or later Floyds going to have no choice but to face a threat Oscar isnt going to let him leave with out giving up something.

    The pressure is going to come from Showtime.

    Puck Rehydration clauses, just make weight and fight, no need to pussify things.

    Moving up 5 weight classes is taking a risk. If PBF didn't want to take risks he could have stayed at 140 his whole career after starting at 130. Log off troll.

    stfu *****

    thats why they have weigh ins. if they both can make 154, then so be it. its the way its always been. until ***s like you start complaining about re-hydrating. normally its a bad thing too drain and put on that kind of water weight...unless they are fighting your hero, then its deemed unfair :rofl
    how did that help your boy chavez jr? seems to me he got his ass kicked from pillar to post.....you know, the much bigger guy in his last fight :think:deal

    This is fine, but both Floyd and his fans love to point out he's the #1 rated 2x champ at 154. If y'all just said, Floyd's is a paper titlist at 154, there'd be less of these threads.

    BTW, we don't know Floyd's fight night weight vs Cotto.
