Thread: Mayweather vs canelo

What happens if Mayweather fights and dominates canelo at 154 what will everyone say then that he was too big and young for floyd who had too much experience and that he was handpicked because that seems to be the trend over here. I dont get why he cant just get his just due and everyone has to be jealous that he really is that good. I wonder what you people would be saying if it was ali, or robinson's time period? For ali would fraizer have been too small and for robinson would lamotta be too one dimensional, would anyone who is that good ever get the respect from you people or is it all just bullshit words from people who just dont get the sweet science!

He gets his due nowadays mate. Most people are accepting of his talent now. It is like this with the best though. People will always want to see a seemingly perfect fighter toppled, which is precisely why so many people buy his PPV's.

There's not a fighter in modern history that doesn't get tons of shit on boxing forums. The more popular/better you are the more you get. Simple as.

Anyone with half a brain cell accepts Floyd is an outstanding talent, even if they think he's a two bob bit cunt

Very true statement! Do you think he could actually beat canelo??

Floyd has too much skill and speed for Canelo to handle. PLUS...i don't see how much longer Canelo can even fight at 154...he looked gassed against Trout. He seems like he will have to really struggle to make that weight...which will give an incredibly well conditioned athlete like Mayweather to even have a bigger advantage.

Ask yourself this question: who would you prefer to see Floyd face? Amir Khan, Devon Alexander, Danny Garcia, or Canelo? The answer of Canelo to me is obvious. Do you disagree?

I'll put it a couple of different ways. Considering the above-mentioned fighters, for which fighter would the odds be the closest against Floyd? Floyd probably beats them all, but which fighter presents the most challenge? To me again, the choice is obvious, Canelo.

If Floyd beat Canelo then he deserves a big credit and it will improve his legacy than if he fought Alexander/Paulie/Berto. Saul is an undefeated, young hungry and legitimate light middleweight champion. Cotto and ODH were not.

This fight is a mismatch.. Canelo fights in spurts because dude has stamina issues and that much is clear about his style..

YOu can't fight in spurts and expect to beat somebody like Floyd, period...
