    i think floyd has enough to keep fighters honest, especially the jab to the body which will be a key punch in this fight...
     
  2. Do you think Canelo will get gun shy?

    i want to say no but almost every fighter floyd has faced he has made go gunshy. but something tells me canelo will stay focused and keep the same pace throughout the whole fight (perhaps more active during the early rounds)

    If Alvarez gets desperate and reckless he will take counters he won't see coming which will force him to respect Mayweather's power. People think Mayweather lacks power yet forget that he doesn't commit when he doesn't need to and when he does(at 154) he had Cotto hurt in round 12 and DLH stunned in round 5.
     
  5. Do you think Canelo will get frustrated during the fight?

    My boy has a prediction vid, I will make a thread with it in it. I believe Floyd has to establish his presence in the ring. I'm riding with my boy Canelo but my dude's prediction gives some insight into the fight that hasn't been talked about on here.

    Canelo will respect Floyd catchweight power. He better know that he won't be fighting on an even level of playing field, he's going to be drain and not hydrated.
     
  10. At the end of day, Canelo accepted the catchweight. There's no excuses...
     
  11. For the record Floyd wanted the fight at 147, but Canelo's team knew he wouldn't be able to make it. So, they threw in the 152lb catchweight to meet in the middle of 147 and 154, Even though 150lb is in the middle. Once they threw in the 152lb catchweight Floyd accepted it. If Canelo wasn't comfortable with fighting below 154 he should have never taken the fight, but he knew this would be a once in a life time chance to fight Floyd.

    I think people get gunshy with Floyd from missing so much, more than his power keeping them off. They keep missing then stand there thinking,trying to figure out how to hit him(see Oscar fight)

    Holy **** you actually commented in your thread but is another question

    Why not just ask every question in this thread and stop making new ones
