    5 years too late and after Pacquaio had been knocked clean by Marquez.

    Pacquaio had been slowing down hence Floyd going for the fight.

    Oh and throw in the dodgy "dehydration" cover up. The man's a joke alleged TBE who although going through 5 weight divisions never once beat a prime ATG.

    he's right.

    Everyone knows floyd would kill him. It would have always just been a novelty fight and nothing else. Margarito has a name and thats about it. They would not be fighting to see who the best is because Margarito isn't even in the ****ing discussion.

    have you ever given blood before?

    You don't feel anything before, during, and especially after. Either manny was afraid of a placebo effect or afraid of getting caught.

    The weight was 152. And he rehydrated to 165 so he wasn't drained

    So he's now admitted to being a coward AND deliberately avoiding the best. What a disgrace to boxing.

    How much he rehydrated to after making the weight is not an indicator of whether he was drained or not. The weight shouldn’t have been 152. The LMW weight limit is 154. How drained Canelo was at 152 is debatable, but to some extent, he had to drain himself to shed those extra 2 lbs. Floyd needing Canelo to come down to 152 shows that Floyd was not confident enough in his skills to beat Canelo at the 154-lb limit. TBE fights dude at 154 so there no if ands or buts.

    My understanding is that Canelo offered the 152 CW, to entice Floyd since he wanted the fight and the accompanying payday. I don't think Floyd said 152 or no fight. Also, if the roles were reversed, and a young 23 year old Floyd was fighting a 36 fighter from a lower weight class, people would call it a cherry pick.


    And do you feel the same about Pacquiao's CW over Cotto at 145 right??

    You must have a terrible time trying to comprehend what your 5th or 6th grade history teacher is trying to explain..

    How and when had the meaning of prize fighting completely fly over your head ?

    Fighting for a prize is what every single fighter in the history of fightings #1 priority is and had always been the prize.

    If you take the best fighter, (at that time it was fmj by a long shot) and put him in with a fringe contender, you're absolutely not fighting to see who the best is. Your promotion company is trying to get you the biggest prize.

    Fmj had since 2007 been the fighter that's giving every and any opponent the biggest prize. How would fmj fighting (lmfao) Antonio Margarito be fighting to see who the best is ???

    One of the many huge differences between fmj and marg is fmj fought all the best fighters while marg fought a handful of them and was able to break cotto and only cotto.

    Martinez, I never rated while prime (whenever that was) so beating him 4 years into his boxing career is not note worthy. It's funny how horrible many of you are trying to understand such basic sh!t..

    Some clowns, exactly like the OP, can't grasp anything so he/she just takes snippets from random sh!t here and there and makes themselves believe it means what they wished it meant

    lol They know what he means.. No need to explain because they'll ignore it.. Just like when he said "If I'm a coward, I'm a rich coward.." Turned into him admitting he's a rich coward...lol

    As if 'world champions'means anything like it used to. He never fought any great in their prime or anywhere near it.
