So what, Floyd id not going to defend his 154 title this year then? He's using Khan and Broner but these fighters are so desperate for the attention that they listen to him. Floyd will fight Lara next. He is not going to drop any title. Canelo wil fight another catchweight fight, but I was thinking it might be Quillin. Canelo does need another ppv worthy fight and honestly I can't see him fighting Lara on ppv
Why wouldn't he? Floyd has dropped belts before. He rarely ever fights his mandatories (part of that is also because the WBC/WBA never enforce mandatories when it comes to Floyd since he generates so much money).
He doesn't want to end his career by dropping titles, plus his boss (Showtime) will get pissed if he was to drop a title cuz those titles will go to TR and HBO as they would easily win the purse bids.
Yeah, it's not about what he wants. He also says its a business, and he signed a contract with a network. So, what, Showtime has no say in it? He also said Manny can have the title. Why hasn't he given it to him?
The network he signed with is ran by long time Golden Boy employee. You think they will force their biggest star to fight Lara over Khan? No way man. Mayweather basically tells them what he wants and they follow.
The 147 WBC title, currently Pacquiao is mandatory who is fighting Bradley. The winner will be mandatory to Floyd and likely the WBC will try to enforce it. If Mayweather refuses to fight the winner he could be stripped. Or he could vacate.
So, you are telling me that the WBC will eventually strip him of his 147 title, and he would rid his 154 title and not defend it at all? If he didn't care about the titles why did he fight the Ghost? RG was a legit no fame fighter that all of a sudden "won" a lottery ticket? I'm known here for being a Floyd hater. You are known here for being a B Hop fan and calling Floyd a hypocrite. You can't be telling me what Floyd says cuz we all know he never says the full truth.
Here is a writer from Bad Left Hook who had the same opinion as I did...as to why Angulo looked off...I believed Angulo over trained...sparring with Ward and Khan...there is no way he should have gotten beat like THAT!
"A more likely explanation for the fight going the way it did is simple: Canelo put the hurt on Angulo quickly, sapped his power (and Angulo looked like he might have overtrained somewhat, too), and the game plan to wait for Canelo to tire himself out backfired. It was a thorough and often savage, one-sided beating." Alfredo Angulo dismisses talk that he threw fight with Canelo Alvarez - Bad Left Hook
I'm gonna see if there are any quotes from Khan and Ward after they helped Angulo prepare for this fight only to see Canelo rape this dude in the middle of the ring lol!!!
Well, Canelo is already in training camp so it does seem he will fight Lara, if Lara wins. Something tells me Lara will lose vs Smith as the fight was supposed to be an undercard to Floyds fight then pushed to the night before. Lets see what happens
The match making Golden Boy is doing for Lara is atrocious. Is there a worst looking opponent out there for Lara? Smith is such a boring ass fighter and a spoiler, this fight is guaranteed to suck. Even if Lara wins every round he'll look bad doing it. If their true intentions are to set up a Canelo vs Lara fight they'd put Lara in the ring with a fan friendly fighter.
