    Yes he can. If he catches him with a counter he doesn't see coming as he's walking in expect him to be stunned from it. Mayweather stunned DLH with a counter in round 5 and hurt Cotto in the 12th.

    Of course he can, is he gonna go for the kill? Fawk no, he could've had a smaller guerrero out of there but he didn't risk it. He isn't risking anything against the bigger and faster canelo.

    Floyd will win by Ko in the 11th round. This fight will look like the Corales fight

    Yes he can if he counters Alvarez and catches his chin with right hand.

    all it takes is a perfectly placed shot, which doesn't even need to be hard, and any fighter will go down

    It almost certainly won't happen in the first 4 rounds but I expect it to at some point once Alvarez gets winded.

    if alveraz slows down in the later rounds and floyd has his timing down i predict he can hurt him with a well placed shot.. i dont think he will go in for the kill unless he has alveraz visibly out on his feet

    No doubt Alvarez isn't the more skilled of the two but he is stronger and during fight night will be the heavier of the two, resulting in a good resistance to Money's power punches. However and IMO Mayweather's game plan will be to box until Alvarez gets tired and frustrated-right hand. That being said, Floyd's opportunity to hurt Canelo will be during the championship rounds and if Canelo gases, which is to be expected. Still Canelo is stronger and not damaged.

    Needles to say, Floyd's chances to rock Canelo or not are inconsequential to the result of the fight, as Mayweather will win this fight with his boxing skills to a clear and sound UD. 45-0 !!!
