    Canelo is fast with his hands no doubt,but it took him halfway through the fight just to land a solid shot on trout and it will take even longer for him to land one on floyd. Canelo isn't apressure fighter,but floyd will make him one and that's where he will get countered and picked apart all night. In the center of the ring floyd schools him and if canelo wants a chance he better dig down deep and go all out like cotto did or else lose badly on the cards.....I think this is the fight where you will see the best of floyd, because to me canelo is the perfect opponent for floyd to showcase his best skills with his stamina and low workrate and he will force canelo to use up alot of energy take him in deep water and possibly get a late stoppage. Canelo may have shown great upper body movement,but against floyd you will need great footwork also and that's a skillset mayweather is levels above canelo in..

    Cotto was comfortable fighting with a controlled workrate fyi.

    What makes you say Gasnelo is chinny enough to get stopped?:think:huh

    Canelo aient getting stopped... Floyds power is decent when he wants to let his hands go but unless he rocks him with a good shot first floyds not stupid enough to let his hands go into buzzsaw mode against a fighter who has 20+lbs on him

    Defensive fighters love to stay on the outside and outbox there opponent slowly, later on if the punishment has had an effect on their opponent they might go for it a little but they dont chase it

    I see Canelo getting stopped late because he'll just be very tired, frustrated, and hurt from all the right hands Floyd has landed on him. It's going to be a worst beating then the one Guerrero got. Canelo is almost completely useless after round 6 or 7.
