Canelo is a really good fighter. Floyd is an all time great.

Once again, Floyd gave us a lesson in how to box.

That was beautiful to watch. That is the "sweet science".

"Hit and don't get hit"

Floyd reminds me of Bruce Lee. His style is like water. Whatever you do, he will wrap around it.

It's a shame he never fought Manny. Manny would have had a chance due to his aggression and work rate.

Boxing judges get paid off, what else is new? Its a corrupt sport. The Mob is still heavily involved. I wouldn't be surprised in a Mexican cartel paid for that draw..

Floyd Mayweather is the best of all time in my opinion. The only person who comes close is Sugar Ray Robinson, and unfortunately his Welterweight days are not recorded, nor are his statistics (punches landed etc).

Piece of shit judge had it 114-114. How in the hell do you givr Nelo six roinds? Really didnt he get docked a point for the low blow? Bitch had him 7-5. Crazy. They were saying another one of her judgements was shady on a recent fight.

I hope Amir Khan doesnt get the match. I was looking forward to a cheaper match in Vegas so I can go this time. If Khan clears Alexander this December he will probably get a shot in England.

Would Mayweather really say fuck the buys, fans and head over to England for a fight? Who knows

Mayweather has a 6 fight deal with Showtime as per here

http://www.forbes.com/sites/kurtbadenhau...ppv-deal/.

He's fought the first 2 so far, but the contract has him making probably 200 million+ before PPV revenues. He has a his own promotion company so every fight his company handles practically everything right down to the opponents purse. That's why he get way more money than his opponents because he promotes his own fights!

I highly doubt he'll leave the USA, but he might go to an even bigger venue with in the Country. Alavarez fought in San Antonio at the Alamodome early this year and drew a crowd of 40K. There have been bouts at AT&T Stadium(Cowboys home) and with a draw like Mayweather we could be talking some big numbers.

How did Canelo rack up 43 pro fights at only 23 years old, whereas Mayweather is 36yo and has only 44 fights?

Canelo turned pro very young and fought a lot.

Alvarez has had a lot more than 43 pro fights. In his early years, there were many more pro fights in Mexico of which there is no record.

The judging of the fight was terrible. Everyone knows about the one judge who scored it a draw, but the other two gave Alvarez 3 and 4 rounds. I'm not even sure if Alvarez actually won a round period in the fight never mind multiple and especially 6 of them.

After the Ricky Hatton fight, Mayweather said that he had always wanted to fight in England, so there may at least a slim possibility that he would head over there. The rumor is that Mayweather's hands are injected with something before every fight and that Nevada is either the only state or one of the only states which permits that. If that is true, I am not sure how that would go over in England. Mayweather has said that in 2014, he will be fighting on the Mexican holidays in both May and September. It makes no sense that he would be fighting a Pakistani boxer from England on a Mexican holiday.

Did you end up going? How was the experience? One of my boys told me the weigh in was crazy.

So can I book the MGM for May 3rd then? Haha. I honestly do not know who would be next. I think he will make Danny Gracia was for September. Broner in '15. I doubt Sergio will drop down. Possibly a catch weight of 155? Sergio not being at the fight makes me think he wouldnt drop. Even is Alexander wins, it will not be a big draw to fight him. Marquez doesnt want any but offer him 20M it might chanve his mind.

Mayweather will probably announce in January so we have four months till then.

Khan has too many holes to fuck with Mayweather. I'm sure they could promote it and create interest, but it wouldn't be much of a fight in the ring.

Mayweather's hands are injected with what, according to the rumors?

I thought Canelo would put an end to Floyd's streak seeing how bigger he was than Floyd. Didn't matter at all. The few flurries Canelo landed were solid punches. If he was quicker and had studied Floyd better, it could have been a bit different.

To all those who think Floyd is an arrogant scumbag, I beg to differ. He actually loves his profession. If you noticed, Floyd smiled intermittently throughout the fight acknowledging Canelo's punches landing. Floyd is a true professional who fights not only for the money but for the love of the sport. He appreciated Canelo's flashes of skill.

Who's next? I have an idea but doubt it'll ever happen: Mayweather Jr vs Broner

The rumor is that his hands are injected with lidocaine, xylocaine, and possibly other substances. I have no idea if there is any truth to those rumors.

Khan irritates me, he as an unjustified arrogance. However, there is a lot of unnecessary hate for him in England because he isn't 'English' and, more importantly, he's Muslim. I don't know why I put that in quotation marks to be honest, because he isn't. If he's 'English', then what am I? He's a Pakistani-Briton. Regardless, he's not a bad guy. If Hatton had a similar record/form people would still love him because he's 'one of the lads' so to speak. Prince Nazeem was loved, but this was before 9/11 etc. He also had a different type of arrogance, it was playful.

Anyway, yeah I think that fight will happen at some point, because FM has nobody left to fight now really. He could go up a weight, but it's too risky for him and he has nothing to prove.

Floyd was 150 at the weigh ins and 150 for the fight. He cant go any bigger. Who is at 147 for him to fight? Alexander? Bradley?

The cupboard is bare.

I heard he was several pounds under 150 on the morning of the fight and had to eat heavily to weigh 150 on fight night. He actually lost weight between the weigh in and the morning after.

I thought that was common knowledge rather than a rumor.

Mayweather has "glass" hands.

A couple of years ago it looked like he was going to lose his career to his broken hands.

He uses Winning brand boxing gloves because of his hands. You can't hit as hard with Winning gloves as you can with Reyes.

Here's a basic breakdown:
