    Don't want to ruin this thread but you Floyd fanatics also say that cotto was drained when cotto himself said he was not.

    Pac right now?
    Man I'd probably give Pac a 20% chance at best.

    But a prime Pac would give Canelo all he can handle with speed and angles.
    I see that as a close UD for Pac.

    Actually it goes like this:

    Not holding it against Pac, cause Pac's so small, the only way he'd win the fight is with a 150lb catch weight that leaves Canelo drained. And ACTUALLY drained, not the drained Pacfags like to say he was to make themselves feel better (and yet they still bring up the De La Hoya fight???)

    But it outside of that, Canelo beats the crap out of Pac... He could go the distance, and would definitely land his fair share, but Canelo actually has good defense as well as hand speed and punching power...

    Simple math equations, and remember, styles make fights... Slow, plodding Antonio Margarito who got exposed by Molsey, got caught with hand wraps rendering the majority of his career all but moot, and was suspended for a whole year scared Manny out of the division... I'd say at this point, Canelo is a better fighter than Margarito, ESPECIALLY the one Manny fought

    so your in love with canello. ok. you know canelo doesnt like to engage in a fight that involves going forwrd whilst throwing his bombs. He cant throw punches going forward, Pac has him in technical skills ,but in a different way than floyd exposed canellos weaknesses.

    Pac too mobile too fast and too used to fighting the best who stand before him.

    Im in love with pac. canelo cant deal with what floyd or pacman offer.....and why not???? because he is alevel below lots of other stylists.:deal:deal

    Is Pac really a stylist? The only time u ever see Pac fight like Willie Pep is when his opponent is flat-footed and slow as ****. Don't let the slow short skill-less Brandon Rios fight fool u. All u gotta do is watch the Bradley and Marquez fights... Or u can go back and watch Cotto when Pac was in his welterweight prime and see the same thing...

    None of them are as big, fast, or powerful as Canelo. Can that be argued?

    Now maybe Canelo isn't that effective coming forward, but who's to say Canelo won't force Pac to be the aggressive as if Pac won't be willing to?

    i think cotto moves better than canelo does:deal

    big and strong canelo may be, but he can only land if pac stays in the pocket for a rest.;)

    I think the same basic gameplan that saw pacman whoop oscar is all that is needed by pac, and executing is is not much to expect of manny at this stage of his career is it?:thumbsup

    If Pacquiao looks great against Bradley and wins the WBO 147 belt, I give Pacquiao a 65-70% chance of beating Alvarez @ 152. :deal
