Knowing Floyd, if Canalo turns into a worldwind of whoop ass on Trout, Floyd will come up with some excuse to put this fight off. I'd bet my bottom dollar on that. He'll give Cotto a rematch or he might fight Bradley or even fight JMM with Olympic style drug testing. And you guys will use the typical "it makes good business" copout to justify it.

Well if he waffles this time, it will most likely be the drug testing argument. He won't have Bob Arum to point the finger at. Besides, I'm sure he knows how bad it will look if he once again makes a big deal out of fighting a guy who boxing fans are clamoring for.

Edit, Pac also getting knocked out sort of let him off the hook.

While I agree somewhat with DM72...your points make sense; SU makes some valid points as well....he is consistently the most objective poster in the forum and the wizards' forum...so I'll ride with him on this one. Hope you are right man...I really want to see that fight!

[DM72]

SU is overly objective when it comes to Mayweather to a fault. I'm going by history when it comes to Floyd.

I don't even like Floyd the person, just the skill-set. (Always loved fighters who could make high level guys look foolish, Sweet Pea is my favorite of all time)


I just realize not everything is as black & white as you try to make it seem at times.


As I said before, if Canelo beats Trout and May beats Guerrero, if May doesn't fight Canelo in his next fight, I'll criticize him just as hard as you are now.

If both fighters win their fights, then Canelo is a prime candidate to fight Floyd. However, don't forget the last few fights that was talked about for Canelo and Floyd got jinxed because folks were either looking ahead, money issues or injury (Ortiz/Lopez, Kirkland, Williams, Berto/Guerrero). Floyd will fight, we just gotta wait and see. Hope to see a good fight regardless of who, just want to see it soon. Also, hope this May 4th undercard gets some better fights scheduled. Gonna save money on this PPV too.

Golden Boy's Richard Schaefer announced tonight at the Hopkins-Cloud post-fight press conference that a fight between WBA welterweight titlist Paulie Malignaggi and current WBC lightweight titlist Adrien Broner is done for June 22. The fight will be held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, most likely airing on HBO.

Really disappointing that Broner is apparently skipping 140 altogether to fight Malignaggi who really isn't a 147lb'er to begin with. So many better matchups to be made for Broner at 140 within the Golden Boy stable (Lucas Matthysse, Danny Garcia, Amir Khan, and others)

Get ready for Mayweather part 2.

Floyd waited until his 30's before he started cherry picking, Broner has him beat on this one.

LOL. You got me on that one.

Congrats to Bernard Hopkins on his win against Tavoris Cloud. B-Hop is a great boxer, but he schools these young guys after he gets in their heads. Cloud can punch, but his skills and boxing IQ just isn't there yet to be great. Hopefully, B-hop retires before he gets hurt. As long as he's winning against good competition, I can't complain much. Broner vs Paulie will be good while it lasts. Should be a good win for Broner's resume, but he does need to get back down to 140 lbs and make some noise there. Very good competition at 140 lbs.

BHop won me a little bit of money last night. Cloud got a gift decision against Campillo his last time out, fighters with skill give him problems, even the old ones apparently.

Tim Bradley is on the verge of getting knocked out by someone named Ruslan Provodnikov

[DM72]

This is a war.

[StillUnknown]

This is a war.

Bradley fighting like a fool, he usually has a high fight IQ. He doesn't have the pop to go toe to toe with guys.

Provodnikov may have punched himself already, might be Bradley best chance to get back in the fight.

this fight is ****ing insane

Bradley's chin ain't made of human parts

[DM72]

Bradley still don't look right.
