    Of course, with a shot Canelo doesn't see coming.

    But I wouldn't bet on a KO. Canelo has pretty good awareness and can use his legs if he gets hurt.

    This is a dangerous fight for Mayweather due to Canelo's patient combination body punching, size, strength, and growing ring IQ.

    The older Mayweather gets, the more the fight shifts in Canelo's favor.

    Even at this point, I'd slightly favor Mayweather, but it's almost 50/50.

    Of course he could hurt him.

    He certainly wouldn't knock him out though.

    He comes in the ring at 164 or so...same as Ortiz who Mayweather had hurt twice. Although to be fair, Ortiz isn't as physically strong as Canelo.

    If Mayweather invests to the body, he can stop him.

    Cotto isn't small compared to Canelo..He's just shorter. They probably weigh the same on fight night.

    stop dreaming if he invest to the body he get countered upstairs Canelo is kinda fast

    floyd is going to need his legs fir this one

    does he still have them? probably not or Cotto would have not lumped him up on the ropes like he did

    idk
