Floyd WAS ducking Manny. Not saying he was scared, but it was clear he didn't want to fight Manny for a while. The only problems that Manny's camp "caused" was maybe them not wanting to do the USADA testing initially, but other than that, Floyd was creating new roadblocks at each round of negotiations.Anyway, it was cool to see Floyd at the fight anyway. Smart move on his part, it just generates more buzz, for both of them. Obviously we were all hoping for a knockout, but a win is a win, and we at least got a knockdown.
He created the culture of "we need to prevent our fighters from losing to increase their stock".
Canelo/GGG won't happen because Del La Hoya adapted that same mentality. He doesn't want to see Canelo get raped by GGG. He knows he can sell us a "feel good story" Liam Smith ass whooping & keep the hype train rolling. Once he gets dropped by GGG, he loses that "top of the world" luster, PPV numbers go down & people want to see someone dethrone GGG.He ain't shit to me until he stays at 160; that's his natural weight. He either fights down & just bullies people genetically smaller than him or fights bums who are close to him. & the one time he fought the best of the little guys, Floyd whooped his ass.Give me GGG/Canelo or death lol.
