This was not my opinion. If you watch the stair downs Mayweather is never the first to look away, his feet looked amazing against Guerrero and that is what he will need to use in this fight but I think Canelo will still have too much. That has still been the case here but if you just watch his over all demeanor he genuinely seems nervous in my opinion. I know, this could come back to bite me but at least I'm putting it out there unlike the people who talk **** and always take credit for things they never called. I have called ones right as well, like when I said Marquez was going to give Pacquiao hell in the third fight and certain dicks were saying it was going to be an annihilation. I really think Canelo's going to do it.
No Mayweather fans like yourself have been completely dismissive of Canelo and have in my opinion over rated Mayweather quite a lot.
Nerves is a good thing, means he will be on his A game, won't give canelo an opportunity to land his big shots.
The only fighter here that is overrated is Canelo he has one good win in his career against Trout. You think a boxer puncher who has suspect stamina fights in spurts short arms and has slow feet is going to beat PBF? The guy is basically tailormade for PBF. Canelo wins fights by outboxing people, he's not going to out box PBF. The only thing Canelo has in his favor is size because if both were the same size no one would give Canelo even a puncher's chance against PBF.:deal
Seriously, how many big championship fights has Mayweather been in? Yea, he's more nervous than a guy who's never been on this large a stage before....... :roll:
If you want to say a guy who lost by 9-3 as nearly then be my guest. If that's the case trout nearly beat Canelo with the knockdown being the difference.
floyd is certainly not more nervous than alvarez becasue he has been here before but canelo and his camp, thoughout this entire promotion as well as the weigh-in, could not have looked or acted any better. i see absolutely nothing wrong with canelo at the weigh-ins and the professionalism that they have displayed shows that they are in no way in awe or intimidated by this event.
I agree with original post. Mayweather comes in all smiling, chewing gum etc. But I did see some uncertainess in him opposed to Canelo who really did look born for this moment. There's many a slip twix a cup and a lip though. Canelo could fold under pressure leading up to the fight today and floyd elevate as he normally does. I'm going with Canelo by KO though. I sense something coming and believe me, upsets like this happen every decade in boxing. Floyd is an overrated ATG, Canelo is an untested X factor, possible future ATG. There is a recipe here for a ton of drama and epic historical moment in boxing. Floyd is going to get caught sooner than later, he is getting older, will tonight be the night? My gut says yes.
They say chewing gum helps calm your anxiety IF true then Floyd must have had like 5 packs of [insert brand x] because dude was looking like a cow out in the pasture for the weigh-ins.
Same here... But I was thinking Alvarez was prob laughing at the way Floyd was smacking his lips while chewing that gum. Don't think Saul was intimidated at all by Floyd.
