    Canelo wants to fight on Cinco de mayo. If he fights cotto on that date then Floyd can only fight Pac in order to outdraw that.

    Yep, & w/Canelo Gone, that Puts PRESSURE on Floyd to Take BIGGER Fights, to Keep Showtime Happy...No Way will Floyd Be Able to CHERRYPICK his Final 2 Fights of the Showtime Contract, Which is GOOD for Boxing...

    "It doesn't matter because Floyd already beat Canelo."

    i dont see how it affects mayweather jr. at the very worst he'll get 32 million dollars to fight one of the originally approved opponents when he signed the showtime deal. its not like he's run out of golden boy scrubs to go against.

    I'm thinking Showtime would definitely approve Khan as an opponent. That would leave us with a last opponent which could be on september or december next year and if Showtime doesn't push for Pacquiao they would be very stupid.

    Alvarez is shit... He gets gassed if he throws more than 10 punches per round... He'd easily get outworked despite being twice the guy's size

    Hopefully HBO pushes to make GGG-Canelo, so we can see the fat legged Ginger get executed.

    Floyd's final fight should be against GGG. GGG should unify the belts before then.

    Floyd would greatly strengthen his all-time status with a win over GGG, assuming GGG went on to have a decent or better career.
    Hell, even a close loss would help Floyd's status.

    Beating top fighters on your way to retirement is extremely rare. Only Lennox and Carbajal come to mind for me.

    Floyd beating GGG would mean NOTHING...if he wins..so what he beat a hyped fighter...if he get beat one he lose to "one of them" and he lose to the guy that Andre Ward took apart 2 fights later.

    We will see Floyd fight Pacquiao or Wlad before that ever happens.

    What will be interesting is to see how good these chocolate eclairs are. The last place I went to, the eclairs were pretty good but the portions were too small. These look plumper and more fattening. I can't see myself backing down from these.

    This is news?? Is this guy even the 20th best fighter in the World right now??

    The only thing Canelo could leave and have a newsworthy story to go with it is Planet Earth.

    Maybe the Floyd element bigs it up somewhat, but Canelo himself is such a limited, ordinary plodder.

    He should be on ESPN fighting 8 round attractions.

    You cannot hack Canelos Cloud as the fat fuck doesn't have one. He's barely a mist, a fog.

    Showtime has SHOWN they're Not Afraid to DEMAND Things from Floyd, in Terms of Opponents...After Floyd-Guerrero Sold LESS than Expected, Showtime INSISTED Floyd Face Canelo Next...

    1 Whole Bout Deeeeeeeeeeeep Into a 6 Fight Deal, Showtime All but FORCED Floyd-Canelo to Happen...Now that Floyd-Maidana II Did LESS than Anticipated, REED Fully Expects Showtime to Revert to Form & PRESSURE Floyd Worse than the Argentinian Did....

    REED Hasn't Wavered 1 Bit from his Belief that Amir Khan is a DICEY Stylistic Matchup for Floyd...Especially the Version of Floyd we've Seen in the 2 Maidana Fights...

    I still think Floyd even now would pick his defenses apart with straight shots. Khan is all workrate, but not very accurate and his punch technique is sloppy.

    I think Pacquiao is Floyd's biggest threat, along with someone like Keith Thurman due to the punching power, but not much else.

    Manny's speed, movement, and southpaw style I think at this point would drive Floyd absolutely NUTS. Whether he wins or not is another matter.

    Cotto is so bold (stupid) that he could try to unify belts with GGG instead. :nono:
