why do people pretend that floyd is a jr MW when hes blown up at that weight

By everybody elses standards Floyd could/would be fighting at 140 maybe even 135, Broner is the same size if not bigger than Floyd.

 

Won't happen. :bart

 

just floyd haters know he cant lose at 147 so they want him to fight guys weighing in over 170lbs on fight day lol

 

Floyd Haters didn't make him go get 2 belts at 154.

Any reasonable boxing fan wants a fighter to defend his titles against the best challengers... that's Canelo at 154.

 

Floyd will never beat Canelo. The style is all wrong.


Key Points:

1- Size
A good big man always beat a good little man. Canelo is 180 pounds on fight night. Floyd is 150. Riddick Bowe beat Herbie Hide and Vitali Klitschko beat Herbie Hide because Hide was not big enough. Hide's defensive abilities were on par with Floyd's but when he met the bigger man he went down.
Now mind you height is not in relevance to weight per factor. Which means that Canelo is 5'9 and Floyd is 5'7.. so the height is 2 inches BUT Canelo's overall body frame is much much bigger.

He's just a much bigger man as judge by the arm length and size bicep.



2- Counter Punching.

Canelo is a much better counter puncher at this point in his career, there is no way Floyd can out punch his output to the point where Saul canelo will lose in a miniumized effort. Mayweather during his prime ( 130 days) could have beaten this version of Canelo if morphed into a 170 pound body. But you can't do that in boxing.. what we have here is a old floyd who's counter punching has fallen steadity every match.


3- Floyd is losing a step

Floyd lose 4-5 rounds against Cotto and struggled a lot. He was beaten up in spots and left bleeding. Trout dominated Cotto and dropped 2 rounds at most.


Canelo knocked Trout down and made Trout go on the defensive for the entire fight.

Trout was eating right hands all night and if Floyd ate those same right hands he will go down.



4- Styles

Floyd never fought someone with the patience of canelo. The stalking caliber virtuosity of Canelo. What makes Saul great is his ability to hurt you WHILE stalking you.. in many ways he's a more skilled Carl Froch. The last time Floyd fought a stalker was against Castillo and he lost that fight. Floyd just no longer have the legs or the athletic ability to hang with someone much bigger and stronger than he is.


5- Changing of the Guards as an influnce to the judges
Boxing need changing of the Guards. Only on very rare occasions has a changing of the guards failed (Pavlik-Hopkins,Lewis-Klitschko_+ a few others) but the vast majority of the time changing of the guards went through. The new cash cow is Canelo and the judges know that. Even if Floyd somehow do better than expected.. he will lose against Canelo due to the judges anyways it's a pointless affair.



6-Great Defensive vs Great POINTS WINNING Defense.

This is a big factor. Floyd got great defense.. Canelo got great point winning defense. What is the difference?

Canelo's defense looks good to the crowd and win points...Floyd's defense is ultra effective but looks boring and mundane.. Canelo's defense showcase slickness+strength of caliber in body punching per sa something Floyd was NEVER able to emulate.

Here is Cotto and Floyd's defense on display

In reality Cotto missed.. but Floyd way of rolling still made it seem as if Cotto landed. Canelo's defense actually showcase himself DODGING the punches Trout threw.. Floyd's is just no longer as effective and Canelo will out defense him at every turn.

Final Predication if they ever fight:
Canelo by late tko.
