    Canelo will be overcome by Floyd's advanced skills in their fight, but really, who else in a more dangerous opponent for Floyd at the Welter or Super Welter weights right now than Senior Alvarez?

    No one. This is the biggest fight at that division right now and perhaps in boxing.

    Erisfouly Lara, probably

    Floyd would be out of his element against a fighter even more negative than he is

    Lara's great footwork, experience and mastery at dirty tactics cant be overlooked either.

    That been said, the fight would be a ****in snoozefest and would probably break the record of less punches thrown in a fight ever

    It's not his skills that make him dangerous to Floyd but his power and that would be with any full 154 pounder. One thing that stands out for me with Canelo is that lead uppercut. For me, that's the most dangerous punch for Floyd.

    He is the most dangerous opponent for Floyd to face my hats off to Mr Mayweather for taking this fight especially knowing he is on his way out after 6.

    But I am not going to say Canelo will lose to Floyd I dont see it like that, I think its a close fight but a late stoppage win for Saul

    Floyds left hook is going to be key here, I noticed in watching the replay of the guerrero fight though, often when Floyd would throw that long looping right hand he doesnt bring it back very quick any more and he almost falls forward with it at times.

    that too can bite him in the ass with Canelo who does have a pretty decent hook himself. So if I were Floyd I wouldnt use the right hand as he did with Cotto and Guerrero I would use that ****ing jab fire check hooks and if I am throwing the ring hand its behind a jab and finished with a hook no lead right hands for this fight.

    Floyd will use that right hand its a habit of his. I'm just expecting Canelo to uppercut Floyd when he ducks down to escape like he always does.

    I would be careful with that because if Canelo fires that shot looking for that result all's Floyd has to do is roll under and come back up with a left hook and that will catch Canelo clean....

    I cant promise victory especially if it goes to the cards you just never know but what I will say is this is going to be the first time in a long time that Floyd was actually in a fight....

    Regardless of who comes out the victor I believe win or lose Canelo will come out of this well respected
