    Jones has gone on record as saying it was the biggest mistake he ever made and should of never done it. It ruined him

    Jones also said it made history and was the cherry on top of his legacy.

    He took that risk.

    Thats what fighters do.

    Moving UP made history and was his cherry on top... Moving down to run tarver down to the wire was not.

    Still made history and added to roys legacy. Came from his mouth not mine. We all know what happened to roy after that but according to some people on here ruiz wasnt a proper heavyweight anyway.

    Always an excuse.

    Floyd whoops Canelo's ass at 154 as well. Canelo is basically super middleweight...he can't stay at 154 much longer...hence his stamina issues. That being said...why give a fighter who is going to outweigh you 20-30 pounds come fight night any advantage?! Because it's good for his his legacy?! BS.

    Do you even know what you're talking about? Do you have any idea how bad you're contradiction yourself? You say Alvarez should move up in weight. Cuz that's what champions do and will help his legacy. You use Roy Jones moving up in weight to fight Ruiz as an example. At the same time you're complaining that Mayweather shouldn't be expected to fight someone with a 30 pound advantage. Ruiz had a 33 pound advantage when he fought Jones. Are you saying Mayweather is not good enough to do what Jones was able to do?

    Vd, why not address the valid issues here instead of going round in circles?

    Are we going to start comparing canelo with ruiz now?

    You said that is floyd is now ducking canelo because of this weight issue but if this was manny in this situation no one would be complaining about it!

    Whether we like it or not, floyd is the face of boxing and the best boxer of this era. Canelo could happily be starting the weight loss early to get used to it knowing this is his biggest payday of his entire career and the plus points of winning would be unbelievable!

    Fitness gurus, trainers and nutritionists have got many a fighter at their chosen weight before and this situation is no different.

    Stop jumping on the bandwagon and being quick to say floyds ducking like everyone else who hates him.
