Was hoping Linares took that fight but I would understand if he declined
Floyd keeping it a bean
Not even hating just keeping it real about what canelo is doing
Love that Floyd named a specific fighter canelo might be avoiding too, gave Benavidez a lil boost and maybe increase he likelihood of the fight being made sooner rather than later
surprised he didnt mention Charlo and Boo Boo

The Charlo move up imo is inevitable because i assume his brother will move up to 160 (maybe we get Mell vs Boo Boo), and Spence going to 154.yea peeped, but that might just be cause of weight class…..
he's been outboxed numerous occasions since that fight. he's really not that differentlol he said that Canelo is the same fighter that he beat 8 years ago too and he was in his prime then. What a bullshyt
neither was in their prime
doesn’t mean he doesn’t have his bias and agendas
clearly he got much better than he was at fukking 22, I get it, he wants to think he beat the prime version. It’s not his fault that Canelo was so young when he was already at the tail end of his career but this comment is a bullshyt all the same
Floyd acting like he's speaking up for the young guys but he barely even knew jarons name.....this don't have anything to do with the young guys. It's about canelo's numbers. That's what hits Floyd the worst. When he was on top he always said the sport of boxing was gonna die once he retired. And the exact opposite happened. The sport is far more exciting today than it was when he was active.
When everybody was asking him to fight cotto and Shane. And Paul Williams. And winky. His response was always "how many ppv's have they sold?"....."what have they done?"......he finally fought Shane after he was inactive for 18 months. And cotto after he already got fukked up by Pacquiao. But Floyd was always accused of ducking when he was at welterweight. And it was always "I don't fight for the fans. I fight for myself"......you can't have that mindset then criticize anything canelo does.....like I said. This is about canelo's success more than anything.
and canelo was askin for the fight a year before it happened
.
I remember when we watched that shyt live and replied in the thread. Great Great fight. FOTY candidatGlanton-Apochi was a reminder in case we forgot that CW is always bubblin - that was a real dramatic slugfest from that division that never gets aired on US TV
there were others like that Smith vs Vlasov, Navarrete vs Gonzalez, Ancajas-Rodriguez..hell even the women delivered like bridges-courtenay..them broads tore each other up for 10 rounds
