    If Alvarez is clearly winning the fight after 9 or 10 rounds, will floyd Plant his feet and go for the KO to save his 0?
    Or will he just accept his loss and just try to finish the fight?

    I've never considered Floyd a gutsy fighter. Would love to see how he would react in a situation like that.

    He would go tooth and nail for the knockout, got a much bigger heart than people credit him with.

    I don't think it will happen either I just think it would be great to see floyd have to step up to a fighter who is a real challenge.

    44-0, p4p No. 1, multiple world champ in different divisions and some people think he's not gutsy and would take a defeat lying down. :patsch:patsch:patsch

    I don't think he is heartless at all. Just don't know how floyd would react if he were actually losing a fight. it has been 10 years since he was losing and that night he did not go for the KO. I think he has much more experience now and would be able to tell that he is losing. I just wonder if he would be like a deer in the headlights, sort of shocked to be behind in a fight.

    'Clearly winning' - What 4-5 points ahead?

    Not lost a round winning?

    Alvarez might win round 1, 2, and maybe 3, but Floyd will take over after that. There is no way in heck he'll be up on points by round 10.

    If Floyd is losing then he will go for it. He's a fighter and will do what it takes to win - it's as simple as that.

    He went on the front foot later (for Floyd anyway) on against Castillo when he thought the 0 was at risk.

    I would go as far as saying that I wouldn't be surprise if we see a robbery in which Canelo would be declared the winner. They need their next cash cow.
