    Canelo will most likely win on points. Another boost for Floyd Joy Sinclair's resume?

    Not really. The young Canelo, who had no amateur experience, had not yet reached his prime when he fought Floyd.

    And let's not forget, Floyd demanded a catch weight so he fought a drained Alvarez.

    It was actually Canelo who asked for the fight at 152 and Floyd said Ok.. It wasn't a demand...

    No because it's not Floyd beating him. Period.

    "But when the negotiations started, they wanted me to go to (147), and I said that's physically impossible, I can't do it. And then, they inched up to 150 and I said impossible, I can't do it, those days are over, I can't make that weight anymore, I've grown. And then they went up to 151."


    Finally, Alvarez said, he did offer to go to 152 so the fight could be finalized.

    "I'm the one that made the decision to go to 152," he said.

    Look it up.. He offered 152 because Floyd wanted less than that.. He could have forced it to 154 but was too lazy to fight for it...

    you are forgetting its only if he wins, AND only if it happens.

    Cansmello will likely run in gibbering fear.

    Floyd never fought anyone even near Kov`s level P4P.

    Name me a fighter who will have Kov`s reach and power advantage over Canelo that had those same advantages over Floyd, Corrales?

    Why is it that what a fighter does after they faced a particular fighter boosts that guys resumé? This isn't how it works.

    I don't see the relation. Everytime Hearns won did not mean Ray Leonard won. Tommy knocked out Duran not Ray Leonard. Duran beat Barkley not Ray.
