    PBF is a stylistic nightmare for Canelo he's too fast of both hand and foot for him. Canelo is simply too stationary to beat PBF. If Canelo had better footwork and could punch without his feet having to be set he would fare much better.

    Floyd all day. Canelo is too small to move up to 168, unless he swells up like Duran, and even if he did he wouldn't bring up his power IMO.

    But come now, having Floyd fight Ward at 168 is ridiculous. That's like having a SMW (who apparently has a "china mandible" move up to HW and defeat a HW beltholder. :bbb

    It would definitely be more competitive than the first fight. Floyd is slightly older and canelo is smart enough to know not to try and box floyd this time. The extra weight would be an advantage, as if he has any sense he will just try and walk/charge floyd down and maul him.

    Mayweather would probably still win but it's a much closer fight now IMO.

    Canelo has 2 critical flaws: very short arms and **** poor endurance. He will lose to Mayweather at any weight.

    GGG on the other hand will send May home on a stretcher.

    If you watch those vids of Golovkin hitting the mitts with Abel Sanchez from a couple of days before the fight where he must only weigh 2 or 3lbs max above the MW limit, the punches still seem ridiculously powerful. I reckon Golovkin could weigh less than what Canelo weighed against Floyd (165) and still knock him the f--k out.

    Plus he has slow feet on top of all that. Mayweather UD at any weight

    Floyd wins easy. Canelo was gassing against Kirkland.

    Despite Floyd's age he hasn't slowed all that much

    Canelo is 2 yrs older but is he much better?

    Canelo boxed ok at times vs Floyd but ultimately fought the wrong fight

    I don't think Canelo is capable of a 12 round assault needed to beat Floyd

    I would still take Floyd over Canelo.. GGG would put him in a coma though.. Ward, a LHW? MVC has to be kidding.
