    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?

    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 it’s about as strange to you as a clogged toilet is to a plumber.

    Wait, people call plumbers for clogged toilets? I’m confused again 😂

    Much less confused than I am by reading you post something self deprecating.... I was initially tempted to google plumbers, in case they don’t 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 couldn’t reach it. But a toilet, what could be in there a plunger couldn’t move?

    But I digress

    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?
