Comments Thread For: Team Canelo Tell Golden Boy They Want Mayweather Next

[jtcs1981]

What's Canelo's reason not to drop to 147? He's 22, he's young enough to where dropping the poundage shouldn't be a problem.

He didnt even make the catch weight 150 for his Hatton fight, no way he can make 147 now.

Of course he told Golden Boy he wants Mayweather next. Who exactly in GB's stable of fighters wouldn't say that is who they want next? My question is why exactly does Canelo think he's in any position to make demands about weight? If Floyd says he won't go above 150 is Canelo REALLY going to pass? I doubt it.

Typical Floyd fan backing up the coward hero. Didn't Floyd win the 154 title last year vs a past his days Cotto? So ur coward hero is scared to fight a young lion who hits like a truck at 154? lol

the ginger won't be able to make a catchweight and he doesn't have to... he is a bigger draw than anyone else on the GBP roster. He doesn't have to kowtow to every Cherrypicker demand

22 years old and he's not getting better. Are u not watching the Canelo fights? He's improving every fight.

from what I see he's reached his peek........i don't see any improvements going back as far as cintron. (good timing, good power, but gasses)

it doesnt ***en matter whom Canelo fought..this and that...cut this bs...we all know this fight will be pretty good in terms of money and action...i just dont believe Floyd will take this fight

I've said it numerous times. Floyd will wiggle his way out of this fight. They both are promoted by Gbp. It's the biggest fight that can be made for Sept 14th. Both are available and want to fight on that day. Canelo has no problem with floyds 8 week ped tests. Canelo is willing to take a much smaller cut. Floyd is a champ at 154 and has fought there twice already. So I ask........ WHATS THE PROBLEM?

In the last fight vs Trout, he drastically improved from his previous fights. Showed tremendous defense, head movement, and patience. In one sequence I saw trout miss 9 punches and landing 1 grazing punch due to Canelos head movement. Canelo hadn't demonstrated that before.

But yes, he does need to work on stamina, especially for Floyd, that I agree.

He fought Cotto and Delahoya at 154. Other than him wanting to be difficult, the weight shouldnt be an issue.

they were literally 5 years apart and most think that those are his 2 worst performances in literally a decade. I dont get the argument when people say he fought so & so there so why not this guy.

The argument would make sense if Floyd fought there, performed a Gatti on someone and then decided not to fight a good guy but thats not what happend. Most of the same guys who say Floyd looked like crap in those 2 fights now say he has to fight Canelo or Sergio there.

Again, I could see if he fought a bunch of fights there and not Canelo or if he looked great there but wont do it. Thats not the case though. Thats not even including the fact that Canelo is in his 1st division and is a super huger Jr. MW while Floyd would be in his 5th and not even close to the weight limit itself, let alone putting on nearly 20 pounds in 1 day like Canelo would do.

I just never understand those arguments. The funny part on top of that is that he wouldnt even get extra credit for the win. Instead its like mandatory that Floyd fights him or he's a coward who sucks

[bravestone]

Wonder how much money Alvarez is asking for and what Team Mayweather would offer. I have a feeling these guys will try and outdiva one another right out of the fight

People speculating too much. The fight will be signed by the end of June.

Just worry about Peterson vs Matthysse right now
