But I was told he was irrelevant 😂
What Floyd has done is truly amazing. Guy can make 200 million next year easy if he chooses and he’s shot.
I can’t 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 isn’t even charismatic, every time he talks I cringe. Imagine if another Muhammad-Ali came along. Charming and hated. A global presence.

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.

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.
I don’t think there is a way to score a round of their fight for Canelo, that said, it wasn’t 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. I’m pretty far from an athlete myself, but it’s. 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.

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).
This “bitter” 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 isn’t being reported?
