    no one really...as floyd said "i beat miguel cotto and ricky hatton...not their brothers".....theres some names that hardcore boxing fans know on his resume...like baldomir, josesito lopez(who i think came up two weight classes for the fight). a very faded shane mosley.....trout is the best prime fighter on his resume....and i think trout is a good fighter.....but alvarez didnt wow anyone in that one

    Dudes forgetting that Mayweather wants to retire UNDEFEATED.

    Mayweather isn't looking for a bigger payday on a rematch.

    Mayweather looking for a clinical decision tomorrow night.

    Alvarez may win, but he will EARN it if he does.

    Nobody... look at his recent slew of fights since he won the belt.

    Matthew Hatton - Brought up from WW at a 150 CW and he fought him to a decision
    Ryan Rhodes - Decent opposition at the time, gassed in the middle rounds, finished him in the 12th. Other than that, he was a glorified Euro journyman
    Alfonso Gomez - I like him, one of my favorites.... and he gave Canelo some fits despite what the scorecards said and that whack stoppage. He was in his face and didn't give up throwing.
    Kermit Cintron - What a joke he is as a fighter. First fight back, schooled by Molina. Fought some nobody and somehow got to fight ALvarez afterwards. He's looked like trash coming back from his ring dive and looks like trash after his beating.
    Josesito Lopez - A freaking JWW.... a 140 pound fighter, ruined his potential victor ortiz fight.... so he picked him instead and fought the career 140 pounder at 154. That turned out fine.... beat him into submission... what a surprise.
    Shane Mosely - People have been beating down and passing Mosley around worse than a Filipino Prostitute's vagina. Come on now, he's only name value now... and still Mosely looked his best fighting Alvarez than he did in his last 2 fights against Pacquiao and after the second round of Mayweather.
    Austin Trout - Best and most difficult fight of his career. Despite what the scorecards had, it was closer than that. Stupid Texas and open scoring.

    i wouldn't order the mayweather fight if it was 50 cents, i wouldn't give that guy a dime, he ducked manny and that's what everybody wanted to see, he hand picks his fights to make sure he will win and lastly HE"S BORING, we all know what's going to happen floyd will dance around and win by decision it will be boring and if u watch on your computer you will be thanking urself for not wasting 75 dollars

    Yes gcd8, Mayweather is the most boring champion in the history of boxing. I'm getting it because I want to be there when his reign of boredom ends.

    Man... Not going to lie. I was high on a Mayweather KO too. I'm too coward to take the KO prop and took the spread instead...which barely made it thanks to oyster berry Ross.
    Good news in a night I was buried alive

    It is just simply amazing how people think this broad is just a bad judge or and NFL ref is just bad ref or a MMA judge needs to be replaced and have no idea that these crooks are taking orders from higher ups and do what they are told to bring the money to the books. Just amazing. People getting robbed right in front of their faces and have no idea why they are getting rob but hang on the notion that maybe the judge is inept. My goodness

    It will be a good fight the first 5 or 6 rounds, then cinnamon head will be tired and look like a statue.
