you know your shyt, so i dont mind the back and fourth with youI said Canelo was drained though
He was drained.....but I can't blame Floyd for that, because at the end of the day Canelo didn't have to accept the terms. He did, thinking he could still beat Floyd, and Floyd gave him a pure Boxing clinic
Crazy though, because the WAY Floyd beat him...it wouldn't have mattered what weight, 152 or 154, Floyd would've blanked him regardless. Canelo wasn't skilled enough to fukk with Floyd bottomline. Great W for Floyd
but i'm not arguing with casuals
personally, i don't think canelo was drained for the fight so we'll agree to disagree on that aspect
was he 100 percent comfortable at the weight?
probably not, but when i think of the word "drained" i think of oscar de la hoya going back down to 147 for the first time in 10 years in his late 30s. pacquaio actually outweighed him on fight night.
canelo is a young man who lose 2 pounds and still had a 15-20 pound weight advantage a and like u already said, based on how the fight went, he woulda lost either way
his fight vs khan, (atleast the first 3-4 rounds) is further proof that he wasn't that effected by the weigh that night, because he chose the155, and he was looking slow, tired, and confused by khan's boxing for the first couple rounds. floyd could of keep that shyt up all night
Great boxer....
But he runs for too many rounds and really doesnt engage as much as I'd like to see ..
Keep it real .. That Pacquioa Mayweather fight was exciting to you?
Floyd impressed me in that fight...he effectively neutralized the guy yall thought could actually compete with him.
I was extremely impressed with Floyd
When, Paul Willams even said Floyd didn't duck him, he had bigger fish to fry with bigger names
Paul Williams didn't have a big enough name to get a fight with floyd
also he would lose easily, paul has no defense and doesn't even fight tall
He couldn't even beat lara everybody knows that was a robbery
he was schedule to fight Canelo next, if he would've won that fight, Floyd would've fought him instead of Canelo for the 154 belt
Defend what
He was drained.
You would have to go back 3 years prior, to the Floyd fight, and 11 actual fights prior to the Floyd fight, to see Canelo fighting underneath 154. He also hasn't weighed in that low in the 3 years since fighting Floyd either...which is why he fights at 155.
Why would Boxing fans need to defend it?
UFC heads around the globe claimed McGregor and Rousey could see Floyd...so don't get scared now that Floyd has his sights set on embarrassing the UFC's cash cow

Breh...Floyd beats Canelo at any weight imo. He was drained to me, because the reasons I put a couple posts above (hadn't fought that low in 3 years and hasnt fought that low in the 3 years since), but drained or not...the way Floyd beat him had nothing to do with power/stamina/endurance imo. It was just pure outskilling him.
I think his perfomances against Corrales, Gatti, Canelo, Pacquiao, and JMM are his best 5 of his career. None of them could do anything with him....and that's a great list of opps

To be fair gatti had like 7 losses when he fought floyd. And jmm came up from 135 i believe to fight at a catweight of 144 and floyd didnt even make weight and they fought at 147. Just playing devils advocate. I had castillo winning the first fight too but its whatever. Theres no denying floyd is the p4p best in his generation

it's because of these dumb ass UFCs who would tune in to watch his shyt is why it's even a possibility. it won't happen though, unless the UFC is truly for sale.
Alister Overeem won the K-1 grand prix not too long with is a stand up fighting touramnand came back to MMA.
Conor was a the national champ in ireland as an amateur, don't see what the problem is other than the fact he would get embarrassed.

I dont understand how this would potentially work. Would they be boxing?
Damn I was tripping but that match was a clinic. Loved it.
I honestly could have seen myself hype for this cuz I would love for boxing to shyt on ufc but mcgregor lost, diaz looked like he hurt him with a punch that cane from a mile away too.
I dont understand how this would potentially work. Would they be boxing?
Yes.
We've (us Boxing heads) put Boxers in the cage over the years (Ray Mercer, James Toney, Ricardo Mayorga) against MMA fighters...it's time for an MMA fighter to walk into the ring now

Floyd got no shame he really acting like a groupie right now Floyd has nothing to gain but a check from this. Floyd so in love with the UFC he might as well start his own MMA promotion the best fighter of his generation boxing a fukking MMA guy how embarrassing to the sport.
