  1. Outside the ring I think he is, inside the ring he isn't.

    if he wasn't intimidated by his size he would have fought at 154.

    Why would he? Caneloe is 5'7, Money is 5'8. End of story.

    Floyd is intimidated by high punch rate (Margarito, Pacman)

    Big boy Canelo better have that if wants to win...Non Stop assault till the final bell or Stopping Mayweather

    This. Floyd will be worried about volume punchers, and its a bonus if they have power. He is not phased by size alone.

    The fight is at 154, correct? Floyd is not going to drain his opponent, he has said he does not believe in catchweights .

    I don't think Floyd is intimidated by Size, as Canelo is just heavy not rangy enough to be very dangerous (increasing connecting % )

    Floyd is not intimidated by Boxers because he knows he can out box and counter punch almost anyone. He is scared of high activity volume punchers with power (Pacman)

    Void likes the fact that Alvarez is coming in two pounds lighter which will help him, so he must have some concern. However, I agree with the other poster, that it is a fighter with the style of Pac that Void is afraid of. Styles make fights, and Pac is the wrong style for Void. Void knows that too, which is the reason he has been running from Pac since Pac stopped Cotto. Void is afraid he would lose his zero.............
