Is it Possible That Saul Alvarez is Hiding Some Suspect Whiskers?

If Floyd stops him, it would be due to attrition. I think Floyd can sting him
though, everyone says Floyd hits harder than they thought he did,

but no I'm not sold on Canelo's power or chin yet,

 

He has power, but the means to deliver it vs someone with FLoyd's skills
is still questionable!

 

Saying they are right 90% of the time is like saying Teddy Atlas is right 90% of the time in picking upsets.

Canelo could very well have a below average chin, but it may be average too... but if you say "he's got a suspect chin: I predict he gets knocked out," it only has to happen once his whole career for you to say "Aha! I told you!"

Pick anyone with an average or below average chin to lose by KO 100% of the time and it's bound to happen eventually.

 

Mayweather has a good set of whiskers. He took flush shots from Oscar and Cotto and it didn't bother him that much. The shot from Mosley did but before the round ended he was in control. Here's what I noticed, When Mosley fought Canelo, he was coming forward most of the fight even though he was getting hit flush on a regular basis, with Mayweather he was backing up most of the fight. As for Mayweather's reflexes, he's still sharp as a tack and in prime condition. Not only is Canelo's chin suspect, his power is too. who was the last person that he really knocked out and who was the last person that hit him consistently hard in his face and body?

 

With 2 knockouts since 2006 ... Floyd ain't gonna be going for the knockout. He will be going for the points win.

 

He didn't knock out Lopez, Cintron and Gomez?

And Mosley hit Canelo clean a few times and it didn't bother him.

 

A superior Mosley landed on Sergio Mora too :scaredas:

 

I know, and he hit Floyd and had him an ***** street.

 

I believe Canelo is likely to get stopped tonight. I think Floyd will hit hm consistently to the head and body and he might not be able to withstand the punishment.

 

Obviously Mosley wasn't in better shape/younger against Mayweather than Canelo right.

 

I don't know, Mosley hadn't fought in 17 months before Mayweather and he still had him on wobbly legs.

 

Lopez was up from 140 and his body was weak, still it wasn't a complete knockout just a stoppage. Quite frankly Lopez was still ready to go. Same with Gomez which was even worse. As for Cintron, he was truly a washed up buster and that was a TKO and not a straight knockout. As for Mosley,he did hit him but not with the confidence that Mayweather is gonna hit him with.

 

Logic is dependable. Good post.

 

But Mayweather is not a puncher, he really is a featherfisted fighter, nothing wrong with that he still wins fights but it's been 6 plus years since he's had a KO. Mosley at 40 had heavier hands than Floyd ever did and Shane was never a one punch ko fighter.

 

Well if he does, I'd still expect Floyd's glass hands to shatter before Canelo's jaw does.
