You can't be serious..

 

Andre Berto was undefeated and was looked at as being the next big thing in boxing and Floyd was going to fight him buy HE LOST to Ortiz in a crazy ass fight. Berto was #3 P4P in the welterweight division behind Pacquaio and Mayweather at the time before he got beat by Ortiz.

 

Robert Guerrero hadn't lost a fight in the last 7 years before he fought Mayweather. Who else was May supposed to fight at the time?

 

Mayweather was in line to face Zab Judah because he was one of the top guys at the time and they had already planned to fight before Zab fought Baldomir. Baldomir beat Judah in a shocking upset and Floyd decided to carry on with fighting Judah(he would never do this again) and then people were starting to think that Floyd was scared and trying to duck Baldomir. So he fought Baldomir right after the Judah fight. 

 

If anything, that was like the only time where you can say Floyd cherry picked but you could understand when you know the business part of boxing

 

And who was a better fight for Floyd at the time he fought Canelo? People were trying to say that Floyd was scared to fight Canelo! Canelo was hungry, young, strong, and undefeated when he fought Floyd

 

I can't believe you just tried to say that Floyd cherry picked them. 

If you've seen any Canelo fights, and especially the one with Trout, then you'd know he had no chance.

Guerrero? Please... No chance

Ortiz? Fought against Berto and did not dominate. He showed he had a great chin and lots of power. That fight was great, but didn't show he was anywhere near the level of mayweather.

Ortiz had no chance and Mayweather new it. It's the only reason he fought him. Or did you really think Ortiz had a chance? With his track record and skill level that he has shown throughout his fights before mayweather, do you think he had a chance?

Edit: Canelo vs Angulo... who's your pick? 


Using that logic i can say that looking at any of floyds opponents last fights, we could see that they didn't have a chance.

 

Looking at Manny Pacquaio's last fights(before he lost to Bradley and Marquez) we could see that he had no chance either going by this logic

 

You can say what you want about Guerrero but ANYTHING can happen inside that boxing ring. Guerrero is stistill a good fighter no matter what anybody says.

 

Ortiz came off of a tremendous win over Berto and thats that. Its not about "knowing" you can beat somebody. You simply think it. Ortiz really thought he could beat Mayweather but he didn't. Berto "knew" that he was going to beat Ortiz but he didn't. Margarito thought he was going to beat Mosley but he didn't.

 

Floyd thinks he can beat Pacquaio and Pacquaio thinks he can beat Floyd so what are you trying to get at with that?

 

And i think Canelo will beat Angulo
