After that post fight interview it seems like he might be dodging.... I believe Floyd can beat Manny but I actually think he'll lose to cinnamon

"I feel like I'm in a postition to take some time off, talk it over with Al Haymon, talk it over with my father, Leonard [Ellerbe] and the rest of my team, and see what we come up with. I'm not going to duck or dodge anyone but I'm at the pinnacle or my sport and I've earned my stripes. I worked hard for 17 years to get to this point. I'm not going to rush."

    This ? is 44-0 and you come in here asking if he is "scared"? FOH
    Wrong choice of words but he does seem to be dodging Alvarez... Not scared of the fighter but scared of not being undefeated.

    honestly i think it would be a good challenge but canelo has stamina issues and tends to take rds off to compete wit floyd u has to be in extreme shape physically and mentally what makes floyd great is he has a plan A-Z not just A-B...and also canelo comes in to tha ring fight night damn near a light heavy weight 170lbs floyd walks around at about 150 -155 tops so unless they put a weight clause in contract i dont see tha fight gettin made but iwanna see it

    Floyd would wup Canelos ass..
    especially if the fight goes past the 5th round..

    Floyd goes in the ring learning his opponents as the fight goes on..
    thats why in all of his fights, he gets better after round 4 or 5..

    I think if Floyd started watching tapes of his opponent,
    he might actually get more knock outs..

    why would he duck carrottop?

    what has carrot done that would make floyd scared?

    i have yet to see any fight he has/had that will make me think he has a remote chance at beating floyd.

    you ? get too caught up in the hyping of a new fighter.

    a real fan of boxing can turn down the sound an accurately judge a fight based on skill. not brawl or sound but skill.


    canelo is not even showing hes a good fighter...he showing hes an ok fighter, but not good....floyd is what you consider elite. and if you slip in a good punch an rock him...he shifts gears into super elite because you embarrassed him.

    as much as i hate broner...i see more skill and talent in him than i do canelo.

    canelo is just an angry redhead that thinks he has some say in boxing because he cleans DLH toilets.

    come talk this ? once he gets thru some of the gatekeepers. you need to pass them to get to the castle to come at the king

    Floyd gave a seasoned vet answer. didn't box himself in. Basically he saying we going to see what fight can make the most money then that's who we fighting. I don't think he's scared of anybody.

    I like Canelo but he has little head movement and tends to tire out

    only thing ? with Floyd is father time

    Is Canelo dodging GGG? He said he'd come down to 154 to fight him but we haven't heard ? or GBP say ? about that. They'd basically be the same size w/ Canelo even being a lil bigger than an actual MW b/c GGG was about 165 his last fight.

    But he'd rather fight a ? that he has a 25lb weight advantage over. If Floyd tried that ? he'd be crucified but b/c ppl wanna see him lose so bad it's ok for bigger ? to call him out.

    Hell Canelo is almost the same size as Ward who around 174 after he hydrates. One writer on a website had an article questioning why Canelo isn't calling out Martinez, GGG, or Ward instead of Floyd when he's basically as big as those guys in fight night. Ppl we're saying Ward's to big for him but then say he's not too big for Floyd. But SMH @ expecting haters to make sense ur think logically.

    May weather is the biggest draw in boxing history ? just calling him out for the biggest pay day of their career..at this point ? should feel honored for Money to mention their names..,,,btw there is a thread where this has already been discussed

    how the ? does floyd duck canelo?

    floyd's the person who's in the driver seat..canelo hasn't even been relevant long enough to claim he's being ducked by anyone.....

    but besides all that... the fight is very possible... both are with golden boy....and it's just a matter of whether they wanna build canelo up some more or not......

    he didn't beat trout in a manner that really impressed many....and oscar was counting no that being a devastating fight.....

    canelo's good, but i itnhk he needs one more action fight to build that allure of being "the one"

    This that ? I be talking about. Boxing/fighters in general can't win. He's already come from lightweight to 154 and took a belt before, but now he's supposed to fight a dude that's damn near a light heavyweight?

    Appreciate what he's doing at his weight without trying to do these Fight Night RD1/Punch-Out Dream Matches where people have 40 pound weight advantages.

    yes...floyd is point fighter, he's the boxing equivalent of GSP

    floyd gets praise about how skillful he is by the negros but then they turn around and bash gsp and call him "boring"

    canelo by tko 9th round

    Money would school this kid

    but then ppl will say he was skilled enough an floyd picking on the under developed.

    honestly....i said it before an ill say it again...i would not be surprised if floyd purposely lost to canelo to set up a trilogy to make all the money he can before he cashes out.

    hat ? would make tons of fukking money.

    an manny mad back at the Philippines with jinky
