    I just dont get why people dont give garcia a chance in this fight. Its 50/50 to me, maybe 60/40 and I lean towards garcia winning. May vs nelo on the other hand...... do I have to say more?

    Here's what lightweight Karl Dargan said about Canelo hurting him in sparring;

    "He never really hurt me. I have good defense and I roll off the punches, so even if he hits me clean, I didn't get the full effect."

    Canelo might score a flash knockdown, but I'd be really surpised if dropped Mayweather with a big shot.

    floyd getting knocked out would be more shocking but likely hood of that happening is very very low he will never be knocked out becouse he runs

    1st one

    because it's not a hidden secret that danny possess power as well however, floyd going down would be a shock considering he is 44-0 and regarded as the GOAT... most are expecting it to be routine title defense so..

    Although it would not suprise me if both happend, Floyd being dropped would shock me way more.

    fight is clearly 50/50 for me...

    however, most fans, critics, etc. favor lucas... i would say combined based on their opinion you get a 60-40 vibe for lucas.....

    I won't be shocked by either result, but more surprised if Floyd was send swimming.

    Lucas way of fighting can easily get him caught by a counterpuncher like Garcia.
    Floyd however will probably on the move and on the defensive troughout the fight, but he is fighting a guy bigger (a whole inch), heavier and stronger as him, and with almost as long a reach as Floyd himself. So I won't be very surprised if Celtico catches him with something big (here's hoping).

    IF Lucas get caught clean by the **** strength left hook it will stagger him... nothing shocking about that...

    Mayweather getting dropped is more shocking.. but still I wouldn't call it 'shocking'.. unexpected maybe...

    i see what u guys are saying, but i can envision floyd beating the count easily and fight like a man possessed after it

    on the other hand, lucas here is billed as being indestructible so i just picture everyone's faces if lucas gets wobbled back in to a corner and possibly stopped.

    more shocking, at least to me

    let's see, lucas matthysse's chin is unproven, and mayweather is a proven defensive wizard who has only been staggered once and in 17 years at the top of the sport has never been legitimately knocked down...i'd say canelo dropping floyd is the more shocking of the two.

    I'll jump out of my seat if either happens.

    But I'll be more thoroughly shocked if it's Alvarez putting Floyd on the canvas.

    I would be evenly unshocked if both were to occur.

    Not shocked does not mean not excited though. I would be out of my seat either way (not that I imagine Ill be sitting down much anyways :lol:)

    I'd say Canelo ...since many pundits consider Floyd one of the best ever. ( I don't subscribe to that thought ).
