    Always remember that Void owns Vegas and can't lose a decision there. Alvarez could win this fight if he fights very hard and holds nothing back.

    I honestly dont think you should come in with a hard game plan with Floyd because he figures it out either takes it away or uses it against you then 9 times out of 10 the fighter never adjusts or has another option and then its just Floyd picking them apart all the way to a lopsided 12 round decision.

    I think you should train hard on all the things you do good find a few habits Floyd has and what to look out for but i think the fighter has to be shapeless unpredictable but precise and not wreckless.

    Floyd can recognize a scheme or gameplan a mile away or if you do have something working....he'll adjust.

    Floyd a tough fight for todays fighters....i just dont see today's fighters around his weight beating him.....Floyd's skill level is on par with the boys from the 80's......not many today come close to them boys today....very few.

    This may be new to you but it's a thing called tactics involved in the sport of boxing.

    Lots of Floyd's opponents had more KO's....that means nothing.

    Remember...

    Cotto DESTROYED Alphonso Gomez:deal
    Canelito had to go rounds with him:yep

    Cotto has a better jab than Alvarez....moves foreward better....and fights on the inside better.

    put cotto on ring with canelo and he wont past 6 rounds, years ago cotto was better, since then canelo has improved and cotto declined on every aspect, so maybe your logic was right years ago but now makes no sense, just ask austin trout who was the stronger, faster better fighter... no need to ask he already said...

    Exactly . Cotto would receive a beating at this point of his career .

    Honestly I see these 2 inevitably meeting up in a year from now .


    My gut just tells me that this fight is going to happen no matter what .

    Canelo would batter Cotto at this point in time.

    There is no way to prepare for Floyd. If you have the skills to beat him then you train hard at your own craft and win. Or you try to prepare for him and lose when he does things you were not ready for. Alvarez should work on strength and go for KO. It is his ONLY CHANCE!

    Cotto had to fight Trout...all Canelito had to do was not get Ko'd:deal

    Cotto has a much better jab and inside game than Alvarez.

    :good

    But Mr. Pibb has the same ol song and dance. Trout himself knew humbly that he lost. I'm not Mexican I am black and I am going for Canelo. But alot of these posters seem to be adding race in it both black and hispanic.


    Blacks think blacks CAN'T lose in sports and when they do, there is some conspiracy as to why.

    Hispanics always looking for that NEXT ONE.

    But in this case I like Canelo and I am more excited to see what he has in store for Mayweather more than what Mayweather will bring.
