    The best post in this whole thread :deal

    I think there are still 2 very competitive fights for Floyd at 147 but he won't take them as they are Top Rank fighters and his Showtime deal is the nail in the coffin. Floyd's lack of competition at 147 is by his own design, let's not pretend he's out of choices or that the situation was forced on him

    I don't blame him at all for running screaming from the 154 division. Canelo is a ****in beast.

    He better not claim to be champ at 154 though.

    And to all you guys already making excuses for him not fighting Canelo... Where were you when he fought De La Hoya and Cotto?!? Hanging from his nutsack, that's where.

    He won't ever fight Canelo. And if he does, he will be stopped. Even then, I will give him massive props for taking the challenge because taking this type of challenge is simply not what Floyd is known for. I'll be extremely surprised.

    I think Bradley or Alexander would be good fights for the sake of unification but Floyd is a huge favourite over both.

    Up at lmw he begins to find himself in 50/50 affairs. Like I said, more competitive for him.

    See him lose no. What people want is to see him truly push himself. Take a fight where he's not a 3-1 favorite. Show that he can step up to a challenge and take it on and come out on top. These fights we've been getting from him over the years are so dull. It's the same thing with a different guy in the other corner. **** gets dull after a while. I think the last mayweather fight I paid for was DLH.

    Canelo brought the bitchassness in a lot of so-called Floyd fans.

    It's not that Canelo is a beast it's that he has the size to dwarf PBF in the ring. If PBF and Canelo were the same size PBF would whoop his ass all over the boxing ring and no one would even be talking about PBF fighting him.:deal

    Floyd, just hand over the WBA & the big red monster will leave you alone.

    Then Alvarez will drop the WBA leaving it open for Trout/Cotto II

    I agree with ya. I think he and personally I'm waiting as well to see how he looks very Guerrero. If he dad can get him to use his jab and move more while looking still near peak, then I say he should go for Canelo.

    If he beats Guerrero, but looks 36 year old doing it, then he should vacate 154

    Who do you believe to be a realistic 154 challenge for Floyd and his title?

    Poor Floyd.

    He is a victim of a severe double standard by his own fans.

    Well if Floyd will beat Canelo at 36 years old , he can truly claim to be G.O.A.T. It would be a HUGE fight, it would sell over 2 million in PPV. It is the perfect challenge. Do people actually not want this fight?? What the **** is wrong with you? Are you not boxing fans?

    Exactly, and that was for one fight, it's not like Sergio is always handicapped like that.
