So Floyd may again fight a guy who most people believe he will dominate? I just wish Floyd could face a real threat instead of a potential challenge.
naw floyd won't dominate canelo
I don't see it this way. Not at all. Sergio is too big for Floyd and has speed and power at 160. At 154, with floyd being 36 years old and inactive, I think Sergio wins a wide UD or possibly stops Floyd late. Floyd will most likely shell up not being able to figure out Martinez' awkward style. The only way Floyd wins this at 154 is if Martinez doesn't cut the weight properly and is drained just like Dawson was coming down to 168.
If Martinez was a natural 147lb guy, it would be competitive but this is a mismatch due to the size difference. people need to realize Floyd can't even come in at 154, he was 147 fight night against Cotto and 150 vs Oscar
You underestimate Mayweather, the more complete fighter. You also misunderstand the styles match up. Sergio Martinez is a pot shotter and a rhythm fighter. Only way Martinez wins is by knockout and I don't see that happening. Floyd's defense would be closed super tight. He's at his sharpest when he's threatened. Especially by a bigger man. UD Floyd Mayweather.
No. Floyd could absolutely beat Martinez at 154 and possibly even at 160.

Floyd isn't beating Martinez at 154 or 160, and under the surface you know this which is why you want the fight

It's become easy to pin Floyd on the ropes based on recent fights. Ortiz did it. Cotto did it. Canelo could do it better and efficiently. I think every future opponent of Floyd should know by now that it's dumb to let him stay in the middle of the ring and let him do his thing.
Agreed. Never gone against Floyd until i saw him, and how slow his torso was moving against Ortiz, and said Cotto to win, or give him hell. Canelo will be relentless in attacking the body with thunderous thuds, and I see Canelo knocking Floyd down early, then stopping him around the 7-9th. I love Floyd, but he has been slowing down, and it has showed if many of you take the goggles off, and look.
I gotta admit I'm definitely worried here, there are signs that Floyd's reign could be coming to an end. He's my favorite fighter of all time, but I've been watching boxing enough to know that nobody is untouchable or immune to losing. Still think that Floyd is good enough to beat Canelo, but it's gonna be tough.
He should fight Sergio Martinez 154. :pat:
Who else?? Floyd can beat him. He's just TOO SCARED OF LOSING to dare.

Mayweather UD. The fact that Floyd would even take the fight confirms it. He knows he can win this match. He wouldn't take it otherwise. Get to know Mayweather, folks. He's the best matchmaker in boxing behind Bruce Trampler.

Uhh, how has Canelo deserved this match?
His biggest victory has been over a 40 year old Shane Mosley. He hasn't even touched the P4P list, not even with a 10 foot pole.
Okay, who should Floyd fight then.
Depends whether Floyd wants to hurt him, or is content to roll to a wide UD. Alvarez hasn't fought anybody, he is totally unprepared to mix it up with one of the best fighters of the past 40 years. Size can help, but not when the gulf in class is so huge.
This fight makes the most sense money wise but I think Guerrero was a tougher fight stylistically.
This is the Baldomir fight all over again, hit n run.
Canelo is much better than Baldi in every shape, way, or form.
And Floyd doesn't have the legs to fight like that anymore. It's gonna be competitive, but I see Floyd pulling out a hard fought UD.
Canelo will bully him against the ropes. He's the bigger man. Probably the most legit 154 pounder Floyd's fought. I want to see how we'll Floyd will ale the ripping shots to the body..
