    It's huge and certainly something I could never be accused of overlooking

    But does Canelo really have that much fire when pressured? He is a counter puncher when he has the initiative. That is what will be interesting in this fight.

    Don't think this is a major mismatch but this is the time for Ryder to surprise everyone to notify them of where he hangs & showcase all he's got or else your just going to continue hearing " i told you so" etc

    Canelo can't afford a loss to Ryder, that will end his career

    Never underestimate a man with nothing to lose and a country on his back.
    Im no fan of tea cup country but I remember Benn putting McClellan in a coma behind underestimating him. Canelo is a tough guy but no one is invincible.

    I remember losing couple hundred quid on that fight, put monday on DJ and after the final bell I was so happy.....then I heard the score cards and instantly thought robbery.....for him and me. Thought Jacobs won 5 of the first 6 easy but hey ho guess it makes up for his robbery against Smith.

    Clenelo openly admitting he's going to retire when Juan Ryder beats him

    Ryder doesnt know what hes in for. Hope he got a good "Peyday". Ryder is going to have his Haugen moment tommorow night.

    He has a great chin but I’m betting Big Red ends it with a body combo followed by an inside uppercut to the chin

    Ryder can make difficult 12 rounds for Canelo. Ryder is a Stinker....

    I think he can as he's physically way stronger than L.Smith and BJS, C.Smith was obviously weight drained and Canelo has shown some vulnerability of late. Ryder certainly has the stamina, I just wonder how well he can hold up to Canelo's heavy artillery. I actually think Ryder is tailor made for Canelo but will have plenty of dog in him and at least be competitive until maybe rnds 7-9.

    Ryder beats the **** out of Canelo in a real fight.

    This is another suspect pitty pat display (Canelos usual dodgy “fights”) from Ryder. Unless, his handlers are throwing in the towel and letting him fight real fights now

    Even if Ryder pulls off the performance of his life he has no chance to win, this is Canelo we're talking about.
