    Yeah.. no replay if it's not on HBO PPV, which kind of forces people to fork out the $70 to see it, if that's what you want to do. Best thing to do is to get some friends together and have everyone pitch in and split the Cost. That's what I'm going to do.

    No he's exactly right, they are exciting fighters, that have nothing to do with each other

    Floyd fans are forced to defend business moves, no matter how cowardly, because as soon as they rip on this BS it opens up their hypocrisy

    That's the typical response from somebody who is judging with blinders on. Where was this ravage fanbase when GGG was beating, Proska, Rosado, Macklin and Murray? When the whole "I'll fight Floyd at 154" bologna came out that's when it started. It intensified after Floyd beat Pacquaio.

    And they do have something to do with each other. It's simple Floyd beat their Idol, now GGG wants to fight Floyd at 154, now it's "well Pac couldn't do it, but GGG can. So let's jump on the bandwagon and say Floyd ducked GGG....YAY!":clapclap:

    Terrible analysis! First of all, FM fans, much like many boxing fans are not stupid, biased yes! In your assumption you forget to take into account that several of FM's best wins were blown out by Pacman. So there is no reason to think that the FM fans would be at all upset. The FM fans did not go crazy or lose their minds. Fans can rationalize Pacs victories by simply acknowledging that Pac is a power puncher while FM is a defensive fighter. As far as G beating Canelo, The jury is still out on whether or not G actually wins but, if he does win by early stoppage , so what! FM was at the very top end of his weight when he fought Canelo. Canelo will be moving up to a higher weight to face G, while G is fighting at a weight he could arguably move 2 divisions higher and compete in very well. G is a power punching beast! It would be more devastating to the G fans if G doesn't ko Canelo, than it would be for FM fans if G ko'd Canelo inside of 6! And god help the G fans if Canelo pulls off the upset! You G fans would have a hell of a lot more crow to eat than any other "nuthugging" fans, that includes FM fans! Hopefully this fight does get made and it is a good one! WAR ON MY BROTHER CST80!!!
