    I think im going 2 Vegas and bet on the upset. I didnt realize how much bigger Alvarez was than Floyd. When they faced off on this video you can really tell and Alvarez isnt intimidated at all. Upset coming and I said it 1st!!!

    size dont mean a damn thing if he aint using it right...victor ortiz outweighed floyd by like 17 pounds on fight night too and his size didnt benefit him other than his head being bigger to head butt floyd with and do damage... when a person got skills like floyd that size wont make much a difference.

    Margarito was honestly way too big for Pac, too. Floyd has the perfect style to beat a bigger man (just as Corey Spinks did way better against Jermain Taylor than he did against Mayorga, regardless of what the judges saw). However, there is a very real possibility that, as you say, that the blue print is to just be huge and strong. I will be sad if Canelo beats Floyd because that will be the ONLY reason. He isn't better.

    After what Jose Soto Karraz did to Berto... Mayweathers win vs. Guerrero doesn't impress me... I see it as a close fight, that Nevada will give to Canelo via Split Decision, and we will have Mayweather vs. Canello II May 2014 in which Goldenboy will charge $80 for HD going up on the price of $75.00 for HD...

    Floyd looks taller and has the longer reach and in this fight thats what really matters as much as I hate Floyd, Canelo and this hypefest isnt even really competitive, Canelo wont land a glove on Floyd but miracles can happen a luck shot is the only way he wins.

    that is not going to happen as Floyd will be running for his life and playing tap tap run all night to a boring dull ass decision, I can still see Alphonso Gomez takin it to Canrlo FFS Cotto's older Bro had him out on his feet FFS!

    that gomez fight really made me question Canelo's ring iq. He knew he could get the knock out ... but what if he didn't get it? He would have lost so many rounds. ******ed way to fight. Cotto took mercy on Gomez and kept knocking him down with jabs, looking twice as fast just chilling.

    margarito looked solid going up 17lbs.

    if it's 15-20, i think canelo may look sluggish. he may need to take them hydroxycut made in mexico just to make sure he ain't.

    Berto tore his shoulder out of socket in the 2nd round of that fight.

    He also called an injury during the guerrero fight, honestly, Berto has an excuse every time he looses

    Well, Berto just had shoulder surgery. So his injury against Soto Karass was certainly legit.

    don't be sad if gayweather loses. "if he dies, he dies." drago
