    claims he won't get desperate and anxious unlike Floyd's prior opponents

    mentions how Floyd potshots. Implies that he believes he can take advantage of this somehow.

    On the other hand Floyd Daddy in an interview said Floyd would turn up the volume when he fights Gasnelo

    Alvarez, like Cotto, needs a slow and deliberate pace. Otherwise, they get overwhelmed and can't think

    it will be interesting to see how this plays out you would think if Floyd is really going to throw more shots work at a much higher rate here why is Floyd sr in the corner and not uncle Roger?

    Floyd sr is great at defense, offensively Roger is the guy you want to have in there with you. But being that Floyd doesnt typically fight that way throwing allot of shots etc... does this game plan back fire on Floyd especially when you have a defensive minded trainer in there with you?

    Floyd will take 0 chances and could care less about stinking up the arena. He will not be throwing combos as this opens him up to counters and puts his safety first ass in danger.
    He will be potshotting and running all night long playing keep away and win a boring ass decision its on Canelo to come and land and push Mayweather but Canelo has no speed workrate or inside game so how is it supposed to happen?

    Well Floyd said that Roger is still a part of the training and Floyd at this stage knows how to let those hands go. I do get your point bc Floyd became more offensive minded under Roger.

    Yes he did and he also started scoring more stoppages with his uncle because he was sitting down on his shots more

    You know thinking about this fight I was wondering how affective Canelo would be if he kind of applied that Winky Wright type of defense and just moved forward behind the jab while giving very little target? I don't think Floyd can afford to just throw lead rights all night. He is going to need to put some 1,2s and 3 punch combinations from time to time. I think Floyd's jab is going to be the key bc he stabs you with that jab now.

    Floyd should go to the body if Alvarez uses an earmuff type of guard. The right hand downstairs doesn't miss on Alvarez.

    I found Alvarez high guard can shield him from left hooks and overhand rights.

    Straight rights and right hooks are a different story

    I believe that is going to be the plan, Floyd is an under rated body puncher, the man works very well to the body. And if they believe Canelo has issues in regards to his stamina they would be ******ed not to go to that body.

    the best opponent for floyd, he should cut off the ring, HE HAS 20LB advantage.. he should be able to walk through a bit and land, oh but wait floyd footwork will be to good? (better hate on floyd for being to good)

    canelo slipped alot of punches trout threw.. not sure why u guys make him out to be a punching bag
