Is Canelo to big for Mayweather?

[big_james10]

Age old question..the answer is always the same.

It's not size alone that determines a fight; it's a combination of skill & size (see Pac vs Margarito...Jones vs Ruiz).

Canelo is a solid kid and packs a punch. If his boxing skills are enough to trouble Mayweather in addition to his size, then it could be an issue.

I don't see that happening though..he's too hitable.

Alvarez's promoter, Richard Schafer, is trying to avoid putting him in the ring with Austin Trout because he doesn't think Alvarez can beat Trout. If he can't beat Trout, he definitely can't beat Mayweather.

No, but who has Canelo beat? Old Mosley? Lopez?

Chavez Jr wasnt too big for Martinez and fight night the siz diff seemed kind of dramatic.. If they can meet the limit let em have at it. Don't fight at a weight class and expect sympathy because the champ is bigger....

Truth is, if you got the skill advantage, almost no fighter is too big for you. If we're talking about 180lbs on fight night big, and the bigger fighter is really skilled, that's too big.

170lbs vs 150lbs, and the 150 pounder has the skill and style advantage, like Pac-Clottey, then size will not matter.

Canelo is not too big for May
May will fight him because of the money involved
Canelo is 5'9" and he isnt too big
Oscar is lsited as 5'10" not too big for floyd
but Martinez who is listed as 5'10" (but is more like 5'9" I met the dude) is "a MW " so even though we have weight classes and Sergio can make 154 Fraud still wont fight him
oh but Floyd is an all time great who takes on all people who call him out
like JMM
like an aging Cotto
but Pac and martinez both call him out and CRICKETS hahaa

height doesn't really determine someone being big...pac never called out FMW ever he always had to be forced to say he want to fight FMW..unless you consider arum and roach using floyd name as MP calling out FMW you silly fool..

guess what sergio martinez also called out MP you think MP WILL FIGHT HIM..YEAH SURE HE WILL MR ITS UP TO MY PROMOTER

clottey actually has more skill than pac but he fights in a shell MP was just quicker and is..when he did throw punches MP was very hitable

Alvarez is right at 154lbs, size and weight thats his class right now, but compared to the 160lbs I say he would be a little small for that weight.

[atomicsad]

He's not too big just too dangerous. We know MAyweather only fights sure wins in which he's the big favorite. The odds would be too close for Mayweather's tastes.

Canelo is a small JMW, believe me. I've met him and he isn't big at the weight. Trout is a big JMW and will be much stronger on May 4th. Canelo is no bigger than Victor Ortiz who is an absolute monster of a welterweight.

Making sense fail....lol. Canelos is a junior middleweight in a welterweight's body just a bit bigger.

[IronDanHamza]

Canelo will definitely be quite a bit bigger than Mayweather on fight night.

Nothing he hasn't overcome before though.
