Pacquiao scoffs at vargas claim that he's faster: "we'll see in the ring"

<< < (2/2)

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.

Sccit:
GGG IS THE REAL DEAL

Your grasping at straws with that one.  How did HE create that culture?  And even if he did, do you think that no other promoter would've done that?  Someone else would've thought to protect their own fighters, particularly from high risk, low reward fights.  Oscar would still protect his fighters.  Floyd would've still avoided the riskiest fights the way he did.  Look at all of Tyson's fights after he got out of prison, until Holyfield.  Don King was criticized for having lined up all those bums ("tomato cans" as the media called them) who didn't even make it out of the third round.

So no, it's not Arum's fault, and he's not the only one doing it.  And like I said, the fight that you feel Arum is preventing is not in the top five most wanted fights now anyway, so I don't know what you're complaining about him keeping from the boxing world.

Again, it's not just Arum.  Blaming him for any woes of the boxing world is corny.  Oscar is protecting his fighters too.

And I seem to remember Canelo moving up to middleweight to fight Cotto (albeit at a catchweight of 155, but it was still for the title) and beating him clearly... yes, Canelo is bigger than Cotto, but the fact of the matter was that he did move up in weight.

Floyd beat Canelo clearly, but saying he "whooped his ass" is a little overboard.
