That he (Floyd) fought Cotto at 154? So what? 154 was never Miguel's best weight and even so Miguel managed to give Floyd a better fight than maybe Floyd himself was expecting.

    I'm not a huge Floyd fan, but fair is fair. He's spent years creating his legacy.
    Let Canelo start his own.
    Sure did spend a lot of years cherry picking and creating that legacy such as avoiding Kostya and then Pacquiao (altough I think PAC and MAY both avoided each other). Did not fight Mosley till he was over the hill. Same applies to Cotto. Picked on smaller guys like Hatton and Marquez. But everyone get's all butthurt when he's not the one bullying and has to fight a bigger fighter at 154.

    Strange that.
    The majority of floyds fights floyd has always been the smaller man in the ring against his opponents.

    He is a welterweight no more no less.

    Canelo is headed for a huge fall and trout was just the start.

    Bottom line is guys, canelo has to accept whatever floyd wants or he could just have another rematch with a ryan rhodes type fighter to keep that massive padded undefeated record.

    PBF is just about out of tin cans to fight.
