SECHusker Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I'll start off by saying I'm a Mayweather fan. But I don't know if he should have taken this fight now. First thing Canelo is big. The man rehydrates to 170. To me that means he will be able to walk through a lot of Floyd's punches. Second I don't think Canelo, technique wise is ready for Floyd. Love him or hate him Floyd's defense is on point, and Canelo is a flat footed brawler. But then again if Floyd gets hit we'll how strong his chin is. Third, Floyd shouldn't have taken the fight at 152, maybe at 150. Canelo could have gone down 2 more lbs because of his youth. Fourth, if Floyd wins who else will there be for him to fight? Thoughts? Opinions? ***HBO should kick themselves for allowing Mayweather and Canelo jump ship to Showtime. Marquez v. Bradley is an afterthought, and could have been a great undercard fight on the Mayweather ticket Quote Link to comment
MLB 51 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I'd take Floyd over Canelo all day. At 36yrs. old, his hand speed and quickness haven't diminished a bit. Canelo will be worn out after 5 rounds. Little to no chance for Canelo IMO. Quote Link to comment

I can definitely see Floyd winning, but this is his truest competition in some time. However, Floyd does have a tendency to make good fighters seem average. I'm perplexed. Quote Link to comment
MLB 51 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I have no doubt he will win. Dominate. Not really sure about that. This does play to his strenghts though. Flat footed brawler v. Boxer/counter-puncher. I don't think Floyd can KO him, but he will out box him. My prediction. 12 round unanimous decision for Mayweather. Quote Link to comment
NUpolo8 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Canelo's only shot is to get him early. Which he might, but once it gets past 5, all Floyd. Quote Link to comment

Omaha-Husker Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I cannot believe one of the scorers called it a 114-114 draw. Idk what fight that guy was watching. Quote Link to comment
