I Saw Canelo v Gomez and I was very disappointed. Mayweather will torch this kid. Would love to see him vs. Berto/orTiz/Kirkland.
Gomez was winning rounds, and the fight was stopped quite quickly (by the same ref who let margarito take the beating of his life)
Mayweather wins 120-108/119-109. It's actually a legit/good fight though if Canelo beats a Top SWW in September first, though I have my doubts if GBP will allow him to fight a Top SWW.
Canelo still needs to take on some better opponents before we can even discuss this! Canelo is green and still needs to develop.
There is no point for this fight happening next ....
i think canelo needs more experience before taking on floyd, why rush it? the kids only 21. let him grow as a fighter, train and get better and maybe by the time hes 24-25 make it happen. Floyd probably wont be p4p then tho...
this would be one of Mayweather easiest fights. No doubt about that. He would punish that kid.
I would tend to agree however we need to see how Mayweather fares v Cotto, he didn't look so sharp against Ortiz.
Canelo isnt really slow, maybe not faster than Floyd but speed isnt worth mentioning as hes not Margarito. Hes actually decently explosive.
Inexperience and style.
I know I will be laughed at but I pick Canelo by a small amount, sort of a toss up. I really think Floyd will fight Canelo in a unification fight early next year. Asuming Floyd beats Cotto and Canelo is still champ the Ring 154lb. tittle will also be at stake.By late this year I expect Canelo to have KO wins over Mosley and Kirkland. I make Canelo a slight favorite because he will be just turning 22 years old and Floyd will be almost 36 years old. Canelo is much bigger and I expect Floyd to enter the ring weighing 151 while Canelo will weigh about 165 on fight night. Mosley showed that Floyd can be badly hurt and if Canelo hurts him he will jump on him hard. Canelo is a great finisher. I pick Floyd to beat any welterweight in the world but against Canelo he is giving up a lot of age and weight to an excellent fighter.If I have Canelo overrated Mosley or Kirkland should show me that. So go ahead, blast me.
I think that Mosley punch was more on ring rust than anything. The other reason why Shane landed that punch is speed. I dont see Canelo landing that shot. He also doesnt have the style to bully Floyd which would be his only chance. It will be a toe to toe battle in the center of the ring and Floyd will dissect him

Tough fight to call. Will Floyd finally show signs of aging? Canelo sets a pretty high pace for his fights and has been able to fight his fight effectively every time out, with good power, and good angles. He could win this thing on points of Floyd gets lackadaisical like he sometimes does in his fights.
It's close.
Not really, him and Floyd fight around the same pace, which favors Floyd.
canelo isn't seasoned enough IMO and probably never will be
I wouldn't say that, he's 21 or so remember. Age looked to have caught up with Mayweather to a degree in his last fight, it all depends how Canelo progresses. I'm certain now is too soon though, he needs to focus on putting Mosley away.
Canelo has really slow footwork, and I'd imagine this fight going a lot like the mayweather v baldomir fight. Although I think Canelo is better than baldomir skill wise. But UD for mayweather, canelo has no defense for that straight right hand.
