    Y'all need to stop acting like Floyd vs Canelo = David vs Goliath. Floyd beat Oscar who was a big jr middleweight (and former middleweight champ), he also beat Ortiz who was 164 on fight night. Floyd can handle himself against the big boys and he has the tools to beat Canelo pretty comfortably, this is coming from a fan of both fighters. Why are you using all kinds of excuses to paint this matchup negatively? Canelo is a good fighter but he's not a monster and he's not the biggest guy Floyd has been in the ring with. Take a deep breath and relax, Floyd got this.

    This fight will happen next.


    He is the Super champ. Canelo is the Regular champ.


    Let him get his mandatory out of the way, and back into the groove of things.

    Even if Ortiz was 170, wich he will probably be very soon, who do you think is stronger ?
    Canelo is a physically strong fighter who probably has 20 pounds on Floyd. He is also two inches taller.
    Floyd is a small WW who could move down in weight, something Canelo could not do.
    And let´s not forget that one guy is 36 years old and the other one is just 22.
    Its a though task.

    I dont know, one thing that worries me is Floyds legs, if he can move for 12 rounds i have no doubt he would potshot Canelo all night but i dont think he can anymore, Canelo is now getting overrated big time his fans are acting like he is some master boxer or something, if Floyd can move as he once did he would win wide UD, big difference in class!

    If he comes in at 170 against floyd,then you better believe floyd will invest in that jab to the body and make him feel every bit of it.

    Of course it's a tough task but I don't get why people are against this matchup, Oscar was at least as big as this kid and had a much more difficult style for Floyd.

    It's a very hard fight for Floyd if he takes it, don't think you can get away from that. Alvarez is a very good fighter, young and would outweigh Mayweather by at least 15lbs, maybe more on fight night.

    I really hope they can make the fight, it will be the first time in a long time Mayweather has been in a fight that I thought he had a genuine chance or losing. Not saying I'd pick Alvarez to get the win, would need Mayweather against Guerrero first before making a pick, but at worse he would be a live outsider

    Bollocks. He was a former 130 lber. Canelo is waaaaay bigger.



    yep. He 'won' one fight at MW, same way Tim 'won' against Pac.






    :rofl:rofl:rofl

    I could KO Ortiz if I did it the way Floyd did.

    He certainly has, but DEFINITELY NOT comfortably. He'd need to bring his A game and stay focused.


    He is.



    Despite a fair amount of shyte in this post, you're mostly right in that Floyd would be a slight favourite, right now.

    But not for very much longer, a year or two maybe,

    It will happen next,floyd is focused on guerrero right now and you better believe he will also mention canelo saying after the fight in ring interview when jim asked him if he wanted mayweather next and Canelo said "MAYBE"

    There is nothing great about Canelo AT ALL... Everyone is wetting their pants to see Canelo fight him and Floyd is a welter. Martinez is this supposedly small middleweight so why isn't anyone asking for Canelo to fight Martinez? Canelo hits hard and that's about it. He gasses way too easily for a 22 year old and when his power isn't enough, what's he gonna do then? Not much. Canelo is a good young fighter, but there is way too much hype for a guy who is just fought his first live body in 40 some odd fights.

    it won't come down to a size thing. I think Alvarez can also out box floyd at this stage of his career.
