  2. He's gonna have to cut the ring make use of his jab and try and work Mayweather's body in my opinion. Mayweather can't hurt Canelo so I'd advise Canelo to take some punches on the chin if it means landind his own. He is much bigger and punches hard enough to trouble Floyd, I think he has a very good chance.

    Floyd on the other hand needs to take advantage of Canelos stamina issues and poor on the pressure in the second half of the fight.

    That Mayweather gets so bored of outpointing Canelo that Floyd pulls a Nate Campbell?

    can Canelo get a decision, considering Floyd's the life-blood of the Vegas economy?

    If Floyd doesn't re-injure his fragile mits, he may not have home-run power, butya keep chopping on a tree, BK --no matter how big-- 'n it falls.

    Drug him or hope that he hurts his hand early in the fight.

    Do you really think GBP will let Canelo lose a decision John? I mean they robbed Oscar in the Trinidad fight, so anything's possible....

    How do you see this fight?

    He should look to impose himself on Floyd. He is physically the bigger man and isn't ever going to outbox Floyd.

    He needs to move his head and get Floyd on the ropes with a few well timed jabs, and go to work, simple as that. Body punching will be key as Floyd is really awkward and not easy to hit on the button.

    Does Canelo have the stamina to push the pace against a very experienced veteran in Floyd, what do you reckon John(Joe)?

    Having been around many great fighters I'd like to hear your opinion.

    not much of a chance , too much of a battle making the weight, he is already drained at 54 as it is, badly

    *drain em
     
  10. Yeah I think he can, he has a massive following himself and could easily be built into a superstar.

    So Canelo should batter Floyd's fists with his face, PC?

    As Kobe Bryant said, "Floyd's Bobby Fisher with gloves" He'll solve Canelo after a few rounds, then he'll neutralize him -- as he does with every opponent -- 'n leave him standin' on the pier waiting for the ships ta come in.

    I have to agree.

    Canelo shows new wrinkles in his game everytime out, but Floyd is on a whole other level. Should be intriguing before Floyd finally gets the lay of the lands and outboxes him. :smoke

    Again.. he's that drained at the weight that in his last fight he chose to come in at 153, if he was that drained.. why did he lose a whole extra pound when he didnt have too????
