Although I like the matchup, what a CHERRY PICK! Should've went with somebody like Mayorga instead. Remember folks, Mayorga beat Vernon Forrest. Canelo has NEVER beaten somebody on prime Viper's level. Carlos Molina would've been fine too. Whatevs. He's running scared from Pac still.
am a pac fan but i do like floyd too alot of people on this site seem to only like on guy an you would think that boxer was there boyfriend or somthink the way they hate on everyone else an defend there fighter like he can do know wrong but no one can call this a cherry pick this is a big move by floyd at this stage of his career an if people dont give him props for this they are just haters.
Holy****. Good. I'm glad Floyd is actually taking on a guy that is decent and has an alright chance at beating him. I'm not sure if he's tough enough though, and would rather see Floyd in with Angulo just so ya'll can get an understanding of how Floyd would fare against Margarito...(in this case he woudl be knocked the **** out), but Canelo will do. Canelo is actually a skilled opponent, not a face first brawler.
If Pacquiao wasn't TR's property, fight would've happened in Late '09/Early '10. Time for people to realize that. Well over half of the posters that have commented thus far on this have said Floyd would duck Alvarez.
Perfect fight for Alvarez. What's the worst that can happen 12rd boxing lesson w/The P4P best fighter in the world? Let's remember... This ain't the Mayweather from the JMM fight. This is an older "1 year" removed from the Cotto fight Floyd. More than like Canelo's chances here. Just waiting to hear about the weight class. should be a full 154... But will it be?
Canelo ain't JMM either. JMM is too small and has the wrong style to beat Mayweather. Marquez only has a puncher's chance unless Hernandez can give him a mix that will give him speed and endurance, and Floyd is practically done as a top fighter. Canelo has a decent size and skills. He has good strength too. I'm not sure if he's willing to go to war though because he's going to have to push Mayweather against the ropes and use his strenght, and bang away at his body. I'm not sure he'll be willing to take the punishment that might be necessary to get there, but it should be exciting. I'm not upset with this fight. It's fine with me. Mayweather obviously has the advantage in skills, Canelo has size and strength.
Ill believe it when I see a press con. As a boxing fan, and knowing boxing, this is waayyyyy too good to be true.
Theres only a baggillion other fighters he can fight. He shouldnt have been getting a shot at Mayweather anyways. Let him fight Matthysse, Khan, Alexander, Maidana, ect. Any one of those would be real good fights...
