    If he doesn't want to give up 20lbs to someone in the ring, that's understandable. Don't negotiate a fight with him.

    To negotiate and ask the man to drop down to welter, when he's already a big 154, though? I just don't get it.

    It makes him look bad -and also inconsistent- when you consider what he did for Cotto.

    You tards love flipping the script LMAO.:rofl
    I paint myself in the corner? Care to elaborate?

    Tards really shoud've kept quiet on this. They justify every single edge that Pac ask for and even balantly defended his refusal to prove that he is a clean fighter and you guys are the first one rushing into these threads with your double standards.:deal

    Pretty much the same can be said for Pac and that never happened. If Floyd doesn't fancy a particular fight he won't do it.

    Doesn't that thinking fly in the face of logic though? We know Floyd just showed the doubters his legs again, not to convince that he is not old, but to evade more risk....not get hit. Why would you expect him to go up to 154 to fight a fighter who presents a higher health risk to Floyd by throwing on 20+lbs of mass for the fight?

    It's a shame because I'm pretty sure Floyd could just box Canelo's azz off, but then we would hearing all of the **** about him dancing and running. If Canelo wants the fight then he will need to follow in Floyd's footsteps that were made with Oscar. If he can't make it to 147 then he is likely to big to fight the older and wiser, health risk adverse Floyd. Not the fight I would want to see, but from the perspective of the athlete, all seems pretty consistent with the times.

    Because he's TOO SMALL to fight a fellow titlist, even at a CW. Or, because 3 out of 4 *****s here on ESB already washed their hands of the title, saying, bbbbbut Cotto is not a real SWW, he's old and small, Floyd shouldn't have to fight a fresh natural one.

    your 2 cents are a shameless attempt at defending an act of cowardice with an argument that you dont even believe yourself, much less anyone without floyds dick in their mouth. its cowardice because floyd preaches the opposite in order to get the rewards of an image he doesnt deserve, but hides from the truth when its time to prove that you are what you say you are.

    I hate to say it, buuuut... Bazooka may actually be right about something for once.

    Fighting at catchweights or forcing your opponents into showing up into the ring as zombies still reeks of homosexuality. It's every bit as bitchmade as Freddy trying to get Shane to agree to 142 initially.

    I hope that none of this **** is true.

    But, fighting a fighter who is 20+lbs from your ring weight can't be dangerous? Fact is fighters have been taking advantage of the drain game for many years. Floyd has never asked a bigger opponent to come down to a catch weight and it doesn't seem like he is changing from that pattern.

    Your statement about height and reach have no bearing on the metric that is used to judge appropriate opponent size in boxing...weight. Weight is a function of mass and gravity's affect on the mass. Hence, the reason why someone like Manute Bol can be 7' 7" and still only weigh 200 lbs. If height and reach are to be assessed in an opponents worthiness, then Floyd should be highly ranked as he has fought many people who were taller than him and weighed more than him.

    Floyd isn't taller..not that it means anything.

    Dwight Muhammad Qawi was shorter and had a smaller reach than Mayweather...would that be a fair fight? :patsch :rofl

    canelo is bigger than Oscar?

    you are absolutely blinded by the pink **** if you think that the 5'7" canelo is bigger than Oscar(who was bigger than vargas).

    trout was bigger, if not noticeably bigger, than canelo on fight night.

    canelo will get his ass kicked from here to sunday if he moves to MW.

    ****, hes going to look average once he fights Rosado(I think Gabriel beats that ass), Molina, lara or Kirkland.

    canelo was losing the fight going into the seventh round with trout who had to change his gameplan once he was advised that he was losing badly after four rounds of which the worse case scenario was the fight being even.

    good grief this forum is littered with idiots.

    trout outlanded canelo by twice as many punches in five rounds whereas canelo never outlanded trout by twice as many in any of the twelve rounds.
