    Canelo might land something early on Floyd and buzz him, but once Floyd has figured out that Canelo is a mere ambush fighter, he'll adapt and school the kid.

    Well, no matter how you scored it Canelo's obviously a problem for any Light Middle on the planet (of which I don't consider Floyd) and that's ultimately good for boxing. he sure as **** isn't no Fraud.

    Would you advise that Manny fight him? He and Floyd weigh the same in the ring.

    Canelo way too big and with 10 oz gloves, Floyd won't be able to keep him off. I'd pick Canelo by stoppage if they fought...and I thought he lost tonight.

    Floyd has enough skills and stamina to beat Canelo.

    True. Canelo just won against arguably the best 154 lb'r out there (it's a weak division at the moment). But, the fact that Trout has no power, gives a false sense of what Canelo can do. He had absolutely nothing to worry about from the punches of Trout, and was still fatigued in large spots, threw no punches for long stretches, ate jab after jab, etc.

    He's not a fraud, cause he won. But barely...

    some of you are so simple on here. Its not gonna come down to stamina or skill. Its gonna come from the first right hand that touches floyd. Floyd is a blown up 150 pounder. Do you see what that right hand did to a 170 lb man tonight? Trout is a BIG man in his prime. Floyd a faded welter taking that shot? Yeah okay

    They could also die in the ring from dehydration.

    He buckled Trout numerous times, and wasn't even getting full leverage on most of his punches.

    Ortiz weighed 164lbs on fight night. Canelo had Trout buckled but could not finish and actually lost the remainder of the very round that he hurt Austin in. Think a little bit.

    Mayweather cant turn back the hands of time and get his legs back. Let's be honest no 147lb fighter should be fighting Canelo, but I'd still like to see that fight.
