Floyd confirms what we already knew: Canelo was the easiest opponent of his career
http://www.fightsports.tv/floyd-blas...iest-opponent/
Been saying that for years. Finally Floyd said it himself.

Re: Floyd confirms what we already knew: Canelo was the easiest opponent of his care
Floyd is obviously very bitter that Canelo is the cash cow of boxing now. Floyd has officially been replaced.

Yea Floyd feeling left out of the attention, time for another 0-0-0 guy. Floyd must have forgot his IV scandal, people in glass houses and all.
Floyd is basically highlighting how stupid people are for paying for his 'fights'.

Yeah Floyd is bitter about Canelo's cash cow status. That much is clear.
Still.... he isn't saying anything that isn't true. ;)

Re: Floyd confirms what we already knew: Canelo was the easiest opponent of his care
I have to say. I think I got another one wrong. If Canelo is out there so thirsty begging for Floyd maybe he wonāt make decent fights over the next few years. After all he has no incentive to make tough fights now that there is no upside.
I canāt think of many things weaker than calling out a currently retired 42 year old(by the time any fight could happen) 3 divisions down.(since Canelo is going to 168
Who is next Canelo, want a piece of Sweet Pea?

To be fair, even guys from other sports are calling out Floyd.

But I was told he was irrelevant š
What Floyd has done is truly amazing. Guy can make 200 million next year easy if he chooses and heās shot.
I canāt even imagine the numbers the next guy so big will get his earnings are so mind boggling. Will we see a guy in 10-15 years making a billion per fight? It sounds silly but the numbers keep growing exponentially. Floyd isnāt even charismatic, every time he talks I cringe. Imagine if another Muhammad-Ali came along. Charming and hated. A global presence.

You know you've walked into a group of casuals when they're salivating by the water cooler talking about a possible Floyd vs Khabib.

Yea I had guys telling me before the McGregor fight that Floyd was finished and McGregor was going to KO him. I gave 6 of them 10/1 odds. Made a killing. I actually watched it with 4 of them, there was a lot of talk before the fight started but it got quite awfully quick.

If those six guys are still around and talking to you, you might be able to entice them with 20/1 for a Khabib fight. A fool and his money.........

They are but I don't think they'll be fooled again. As soon as the fight ended, all they were talking was "in a real fight", "in mma". Yea but this was boxing.

Good points. And if you know you're hopelessly outclassed, the only shot you got is a careless slip up by the other guy so you can get in that one equalizer. It happened against Khan, who inexplicably was behind on two of the three official scorecards, which in itself is nothing new..... just a big ho-hum by now. You knock Canelo out, or you lose. Canelo could afford to wait for Khan, and obviously he was hoping for the same against Floyd.

Honestly if another Muhammad Ali came around I wouldnāt be surprised if he made a billion dollars for his career. A HW with a huge personality thatās amazing and a global icon. He would be mega rich now

Re: Floyd confirms what we already knew: Canelo was the easiest opponent of his care
Slow pitch over the plate either way but who's looking back and who's looking forward? But Canelo will never be in Mayweathers league inside the ropes and regardless of how you felt about his style, Floyd largely got through on actual consistent skill rather than being hand held, benefited and readily provided 101 excuses. Guess what I'm saying is I wish both would enjoy retirement ;D.

Re: Floyd confirms what we already knew: Canelo was the easiest opponent of his care
I donāt think there is a way to score a round of their fight for Canelo, that said, it wasnāt easy for Floyd by any means. I think he fought that well largely because he had to, being in against a much younger and bigger guy with Heavy hands, who was fundamentally sound. Considering that, it was a brilliant performance as it was about as one sided as a competitive fight can possibly be, if that makes sense. This likely is just Floyd being bitter, though. McGregor is a better fighter than Canelo, as a boxer? I mean please...

C J Ross would argue with you about the score.
It was a fantastic performance from Floyd tho.
I don't won't to take anything away from the win but those couple of extra pounds Canelo had to lose would have had an effect.
Anyone who has had to cut weight knows it's never easy. And then Canelo had to lose that little bit more than he was used to. The ironic thing is Canelo has now adopted those same tactics.

hey I like you, but you literally just said nothing,right? Cj Ross has a record of being hilariously useless. Canelo was very young when the fight happened, and naturally a lot bigger than Floyd. Losing the weight, for him, wAs probably easier than it was gaining it for Floyd, over his career. Iām pretty far from an athlete myself, but itās. a hell of a lot easier to shift weight at 20 than it is 40.there is no question alvar z was a much bigger and stronger guy.

I like you too š
The Ross thing was a joke.
Sure it's 'easier' to cut weight when younger, no one is denying that. But cutting is never easy. I hope we can get some other opinions from guys that have also had to cut weight. I would say I made weight easy, but it reality it was F-ckin hard, and I was only an am fighting but far below my walk around weight.
Canelo hadn't been at or below 152 for roughly 2 years. His body would have become accustomed to squeezing down to 154, and even making that, the week up to the fight, if not longer looking at his statue, he would have been boiling down. It's always this last few pounds that f-ck you up, you hit a wall of sorts. Then add that Canelo has to drop another 2 pounds to a weight he hasn't been at for 2 years. HARD.
Take a look at Corrales when he fought Floyd, he had only just fought at 130 4 months prior, but was struggling to get there. He had nothing in that fight.

Re: Floyd confirms what we already knew: Canelo was the easiest opponent of his care
Floyd beat Oscar at his weight and people never said that Floyd was too young.
Floyd beat Canelo as the smaller, past his prime older guy and now its because Canelo was too young?...please.
Canelo could never ever beat Floyd but he has beat everyone else including the bogey man..GGG.
Just accept that Floyd is TBE.
The best (of this) era.

For the record I never said Canelo would beat Floyd. I only pointed out that Canelo would have struggled and been affected by having to make 152. If it wasn't such a big deal then why did Floyd insist on it? Like why is Khan insisting in a rehydration clause with Brook?
And I have mentioned before on here that I had Floyd as a big favorite over Oscar. Sturm outboxed his ass and Hopkins weighing 156 stopped him before Floyd fought him. The Oscar that Floyd fought was far removed from the Oscar that was at 135 to 147.

You are likely correct. Iām no heavier than those guys myself, so I dislike the whole weight cutting argument myself. My weight fluctuates at least 10 lbs on a daily basis, depending mainly, I assume, on what I cooked for the night before.

And water, that's why they call it drying out or boiling down.
Not saying I'm right, just speaking from experience. Some guys might make it 'easier' but it's always pretty tough.
If you get the chance to visit a gym, see if you can hang out with a fighter preparing for a bout. Especially the last couple of days before weigh in. That sh-t can break you. That's why a lot of fighters say the fight is the fun part. All the hard part is behind them.

Totally agree with this. Canelo had the edge in youth, size, power, and of course..... chin. There was no way in hell Floyd was going to knock out or even stun Canelo. He probably could have, but that would've meant putting himself in harm's way a bit too much. All the advantages resided with Canelo. Which is why the absolute whitewash of a fight was so astounding and satisfying (for me) to watch. It was 12 rounds to zero, sans CJ Ross's ridiculous scorecard, which only shows judges can be bought rather easily. For Floyd to avoid making a mistake, he had to fight a great fight.... and that's precisely what he did. I also agree he's just a bitter ex-fighter now.... and predictably takes pot shots at Canelo. But nothing of what he says is wrong. It WAS his easiest fight ever.... and Canelo doesn't belong within a few light-years of Floyd in terms of fighter class. Every single opponent Floyd had particularly in his later years, outperformed Canelo by a country mile (I'm excluding McGregor, of course).

Re: Floyd confirms what we already knew: Canelo was the easiest opponent of his care
This ābitterā thing is strange to me. I could see saying this if he started this. But Canelo started it, which suggests Canelo is the one with an axe to grind.
Or did Floyd say something before Canelo got thirsty and that isnāt being reported?

Re: Floyd confirms what we already knew: Canelo was the easiest opponent of his care
Oh.... I thought Floyd just up and said what he said about Canelo. If Canelo started the war of words, then it's even worse. Canelo has no business even mentioning Floyd's name without permission.

Something tells me itās about as strange to you as a clogged toilet is to a plumber.

Much less confused than I am by reading you post something self deprecating.... I was initially tempted to google plumbers, in case they donāt deal with clogged toilets anymore :/

I just would never consider a plumber for such a situation. Other drains that can have tougher clogs maybe. Never have but depending on the situation I might. If my roto rooter couldnāt reach it. But a toilet, what could be in there a plunger couldnāt move?
But I digress

Considering that, it was a brilliant performance as it was about as one sided as a competitive fight can possibly be, if that makes sense. This likely is just Floyd being bitter, though. McGregor is a better fighter than Canelo, as a boxer? I mean please...
Totally agree with this. Canelo had the edge in youth, size, power, and of course..... chin. There was no way in hell Floyd was going to knock out or even stun Canelo. He probably could have, but that would've meant putting himself in harm's way a bit too much. All the advantages resided with Canelo. Which is why the absolute whitewash of a fight was so astounding and satisfying (for me) to watch. It was 12 rounds to zero, sans CJ Ross's ridiculous scorecard, which only shows judges can be bought rather easily. For Floyd to avoid making a mistake, he had to fight a great fight.... and that's precisely what he did. I also agree he's just a bitter ex-fighter now.... and predictably takes pot shots at Canelo.

Every single opponent Floyd had particularly in his later years, outperformed Canelo by a country mile (I'm excluding McGregor, of course).
Which I why I put more emphasis on the catchweight clause. I think it had a greater affect on Canelo than people like to admit. Tito won't give Canelo any sympathy (and he doesn't deserve it either, once the bell rings there's no excuses) but in my opinion the weight was a big factor.
As to this current beef between Floyd/ Canelo/ Oscar, Canelo was asked about fighting Floyd again, he said something along the lines of "it's a thorn in my side that would like to correct" and I think he said something along the lines of "Comeback and fight me". It escalated from there.

What if someone were to throw the bulk of my posts into your toilet?

They would still be 100 times better than Brock's.

Re: Floyd confirms what we already knew: Canelo was the easiest opponent of his care
Would they clog it though? Swanson might be able to just plunge them right through. Brockton is more likely to bring a tradesman into this, as Iāve been humbly reminded of.

Last thing I'll say on it, as we are on the main board:
Get one of those plungers on the pole, the plunger part is a flat disc. Those are the sh-t :-X
