    is equivalent to that of a 40 year old man. And has overrated Power, and slow handspeed.

    But good win, Kid is a tank, but Mayweather has the Javelin.


    Also I will not be buying Pac/Tim fight, It will be ugly as hell.

    His punches are thudding there is not much snap to them. he's strong as a bull though, looks to have a good chin.

    Yes. A good slickster will outbox him.

    He's stiff, but he showed solid fundamentals tonight. Loosening up to gain more movement and upper body defense would add a lot of dimension to him. As of now, his punching technique is very good, he can clearly hit very hard (don't let Mosley's legendary durability fool you), and he's developing a good sense of timing with his combination punching. I'm not sure he's the next big superstar, but he's showing promise.

    Stiff as he is, I love his combinations. He's such a strong puncher.

    I thought he handled mosley better than pac or money. I think Canelo might have won all of the rounds, except maybe the first which didn't have any real exchanges. Mosley came to fight though, was very happy with both fighters.

    Lara will beat him. He'll destroy Kirkland though.

    Kid's only 21. He's off to a GREAT start, that much no one can deny.

    Canelo will learn as he grows.

    Agreed on both counts. Lara will be very difficult for these current 154 pounders to deal with. I think he'd give Mayweather a serious run for his money. Kirkland would be a sitting duck. He's a glorified FNF's level fighter.
