The man wants a Floyd who was already too small at 154 to fight Canelo at 168 when he is retired and old as fuck...these people want to see Floyd get beat up so bad....shit, might as well throw Floyd in there with Wilder or Fury
Plus Floyd was nowhere near his prime against Canelo. Shows you how great he was
I'll take that too. Both prime fighters against each other.So you want a prime Canelo but not against a prime Floyd…
He is not the same guy he was back in the first fight.Inexperienced with 40 plus fights?![]()

But Floyd is a defensive specimen he could fight at 44.George Forman was 45 when he won the title from Michael Moore. Yes the same George Forman that fought Ali. 44 is old as shit in boxing.
I love to see a good defensive fight it shows discipline.Defense is predicated on reaction time and speed. Yes Floyd’s still good but I wouldn’t want to see that fight.
You may be right you can't deny Floyd elusiveness dude has shown time and time boxers being frustrated by it but I still would want to see him match up with Canelo in a 2nd fight.Yes he would; on points. You can’t hit Floyd. His elusiveness will be there, plus he never had power. Floyd is the only fighter to frustrate Canelo to the point of the throwing out his game plan. Floyd is too quick and will steal rounds. Plus the catch weight kills Canelo before he steps in the ring.
Agree. Then you have GGG who rightfully deserves another shot. Maybe GGG vs. Charlo?Would have been a good fight but Charlo don't want it...I understand why but he shouldn't have talked about dude....Benavidez is right that the winner of a fight between him and Charlo would be first in line to fight Canelo
Right... BHop was on the downhill when Jermain Taylor whooped his ass and took his beltsAnd eventually BHop got knocked out of the ring by a White boy who he said would never beat him....
GGG got screwed over to an extent in his career...the WBC allowed Canelo to avoid GGG as he waited for GGG to show signs of slippage...GGG probably should have won their first fight and he lost the second...at this stage I actually think GGG is done and Charlo should be able to beat him...Canelo will knock GGG out if they fight againAgree. Then you have GGG who rightfully deserves another shot. Maybe GGG vs. Charlo?
Bro - great point... It's too many "only watch big fights" people in here... Floyd is a natural Welterweight, he had to size up just to fight Canelo at light middle, which I think was the catch weight... Canelo could really be a light heavy... A rematch would make no logical sense at all... And when they fought, Canelo was no duck... I remember telling my dawg when that fight was made if there's one fight Floyd could lose it'll be this one... I was wrong - that man went out there and made an 'A' fighter look average...The man wants a Floyd who was already too small at 154 to fight Canelo at 168 when he is retired and old as fuck...these people want to see Floyd get beat up so bad....shit, might as well throw Floyd in there with Wilder or Fury
Canelo was 154 champion I believe and the catchweight was 152....people just wanna see Floyd get his ass kicked...remember how they wanted Floyd to fight GGG?Bro - great point...

Don't do Taylor like that. BHOP had beat Oscar a year before losing to Taylor (twice) and went on to beat (Tarver who just koed Roy Jones) and Pavlik (who beat Taylor twice). Taylor just had Bhop's number, just like Pavlik had Taylor's number.Right... BHop was on the downhill when Jermain Taylor whooped his ass and took his belts
You'd say the same shit if Floyd was 60. What's the point of that fight even happening because Floyd will never get credit by haters for beating Canelo.But Floyd is a defensive specimen he could fight at 44.
Mann the Pretty Boy version was offensive as hell... If it wasn't for his hands breaking, he would've have way more KOs on his record... Fav fight of that era is him vs Chico(r.i.p)Canelo was 154 champion I believe and the catchweight was 152....people just wanna see Floyd get his ass kicked...remember how they wanted Floyd to fight GGG?
Floyd beat Canelo already and if they wanna talk pound for pound, prime vs prime then the Caleb Plant fight should show them that Floyd would beat him there too...Plant was using Floyd's gameplan and he is not as good as Floyd pound for pound....imagine the Pretty Boy version of Floyd scaled up to 168...or imagine Caleb Plant with enough power to keep Canelo honest
They should just enjoy Canelo while they have him...Floyd retired undefeated and there is nothing they can do about it
Regarding Hopkins vs Taylor, Jermain beat the man with mostly just his jab... BHop tried to win with his headbutts... I respect BHop skillset, but I was never a big fan mostly because of his headbutts - but he was slick with the tactic and that takes skill in itself... Pavlik got helped that 1st fight vs Jermain, but clearly won the 2nd one... I think that fight took a lot out of Jermain - he was my fav fighter during that time...Don't do Taylor like that.

How did Pavlik get help the first fight? In both fights Pavlik almost knocked Taylor out. I agree after the Pavlik fight Taylor was never the same and I believe he went through some mental issues. It was a shame because he was on his way.Regarding Hopkins vs Taylor, Jermain beat the man with mostly just his jab... BHop tried to win with his headbutts...
