This is all happening bc of what canelo said to Isaac Cruz. Judt a few months ago Tank was Canelos favorite fighter but now Canelo is rooting against him. Canelo is advocating for Latino fighters and putting himself in a position to be a major promoter for Hispanic fighters when he retires. Floyd can see this, which is why is bigging up the black fighters. It's all a politics game.

Canelo knows Isaac personally so of course he's gonna wish him luck. Doesn't mean tank still isn't one of his favorite fighters. The media's just doing what they do best and stirring up drama. Even tank said he knows why canelo showed support for Isaac. If canelo fought fought somebody close to tank is tank not allowed to show his boy support?.....this is why boxing media is trash. It's all just clickbait.

Point being is it agitated Floyd. Not saying it means canelo is wrong.

Anyone just catch Lopez against Lowe on the MTK card? Lopez dropped him with literally the first punch he threw and eventually stopped him in the 7th with a body shot. Great performance and fight.

Good. Now, we don't have to see this guy on Tyson Fury undercards

Funny nikkas only remember Shane saying he had a toothache yet they forget in the same interview he said he would fight Floyd anytime next year(he had fought twice at 54 that year..:francis:
So what? What's your point. Shane could have fought him earlier AND DIDN'T. Then after a great win over Margarito, he got owned by TBE.

Earlier when?? They were 2 divisions apart before that...And my point was pretty self explanatory... Shane was at 154.. they asked him about fighting Floyd..he said he was available anytime next year.. Floyd opted to fight Oscar the 140 guy Hatton and retire for years instead, when Shane, Cotto, P-Will, Margarito were all calling him out..

He didn't fight him after that. He fought Marquez instead coming up 2 weight classes. The reason he chose marquez over Shane was cause Shane "wasn't a ppv attraction" and because "Mexicans sell ppv's".....those are real quotes. By the time Floyd fought Shane he had been out the ring for 14 months.

Floyd picked and chose his spots very carefully at 147. But his biggest duck was definitely winky wright. Called winky out after he beat Tito thinking winky wouldn't call his bluff and come back down to 154. Winky accepted the challenge then Floyd kept adding more stipulations. They agreed on 50-50. Then Floyd asked for a same day weigh in the morning of the fight. Winky agreed. Then Floyd asked for an 8 lb rehydration clause. Winky agreed. Everything was agreed upon then at the last minute Floyd asked for a 45-55 split. Then winky walked. Then people say winky made a dumb decision:mjlol:......no. he walked away cause it was obvious Floyd never had any intention of fighting him. shyt was all cap. If winky agreed to the new split Floyd woulda had a new demand.

Not saying Floyd couldn't have beat winky but he definitely knew winky was his toughest test. Floyd had issues with great jabs and great work rates. And winky had both. Had the size and strength to be in Floyd's chest all night. You can't blame Floyd for duckin. He made a business decision. If he lost to winky he might not have become the superstar he did. But he still ducked:yeshrug:


Floyd was getting so much criticism for ducking back then his new slogan became "I don't fight for legacy, I fight for money".....he admitted he had no interest in making the toughest fights and wore that badge proudly. And it worked out for him:yeshrug:

Should of been ready when Goatweather called. Bob kept cotto away from Tbe when they locked horns, he got the biz (good fight though). Paul lucky they didn't fight and margacheato likely had got it if he didn't get destroyed by Shane
