@Black Jesus

just a note. TR absolutely HATES doing business with GBP. Bad blood aside...TR has a way of doing things and GBP is not as experienced as they are so co-promotions arent smooth. TR is very shrewd and I know GBP didnt know that much when they got in the biz, they just rode off Oscar's name and connections. Of course I am sure they improved, but DK and Bob not best buddies but they can work together without problem when need be because they know what they are doing and like my Auto Mechanics teacher used to tell us....you cant out-bullshyt the bullshytter because the bullshytter already been bullshytted.

oh you were one of the ones thinking Oscar would win?
I dont even look at the weight drain as the issue or excuse. I never did. the things that I looked at were:

activity - Oscar was fighting an average of once a year, he fought 2 Pounds, and was getting touched in that. you have to stay active...and what I mean by that is, Oscar was never in shape unless he knew he had a fight coming up. the difference with Floyd and B-Hop is, they STAY in shape, not just during training camp.

speed - Oscar has fast hands, but his feet are slow and his head movement is non existent. Oscar not really a great boxer....thats a misconception. He is in the same class as Mosely...which is a step below FMJ. People tend to make the mistake of calling someone a great boxer because they have a great jab or can string together combinations.

workrate - Oscar didnt have a great workrate at that time, certainly not compared to Manny who was a tornado once he got going. with no head movement...Oscar was a sitting duck.

puncher's chance - Oscar didnt have much, because his KO punch was his left hook. too hard to set up against a fast guy like Manny with head movement and darting in and out. If Oscar had devastating one punch power with the straight right, that may have been a different story.

That's all good and well breh but the reason I lost money on this fight was because Oscar was WEIGHTDRAINED!

At the end of the day Pacquiao has been agreed to do OSTD with Floydie wheather you choose to accept it or not... And a strong argument could be made for both fighters on who piggybacked off who's name...

The reason a lot of fans are pushing for a canelo fight is because we just want to see the best possible fight get made soon... not next year or two years down the line

what's the strong argument for floyd
floyd became a celebrity by being the best boxer in the world and by being a loud flashy black man. nothing to do with manny.

I feel you. but look at the pic @HamAndEgger posted. Oscar was out of shape and shouldnt have tried to lose weight so fast in the first place. Floyd and Manny never look like that. Neither does Bernard...even though Bernard is looking a lil softer. Oscar was weight drained, no doubt. even if he wasnt, he was in for it. dude has no head movement and needs a stationary target to punch at. where's that floyd gif?
