Oscar is trying to make Canelo vs Pacquiao. How do you think that plays out? I read it on ESPNs bottom line so I dont have a link. Im as credible as Abe Lincoln though. Oscar is trying to make fights. I think Canelo wins mainly cause of his size but add the youth, I think he gets Pac especially the way Pac looked vs Bradley. The bigger issue is fights oiie this being made though.
Cotto? I don't think so...Cotto is washed up, hasn't had a quality win at 154 yet.
thats my point. canelo is overrated at this point. hes got potential but not there yet.
Canelo is flat-footed like Rios and fights behind a high guard as well. They both go to the body but Canelo has more snap in his punches because hes upper body heavy which means hes flat-footed and doesn't fight on his toes and has zero head movement.
Lara will expose him so this fight doesn't even make sense.
Rios vs Canelo at 154 is a pick em fight
Lara beats Canelo by UD
Clottey beats Canelo by KO
Pac beat him 12-0 easy work
And this is where I stopped taking you seriously. I mean, wow. Do you really believe that?
I can understand picking Lara by UD and Pac by shutout (though I don't agree with either). Clottey by KO is a huge stretch, but stranger things have happened. But Canelo vs Rios a pick'em fight? Let's not go crazy...
Canelo is basically a middleweight now, Oscar just said that to make headlines or he's still on the yay.
I'd be interested in a Canelo - Clottey match like someone mentioned earlier though
Canelo is just too big and don't see this fight being made. If Canelo fought like he did against Floyd I can see Pac beating him but Pac does not have Mayweather's skills that subdued Canelo. I see Canelo using his size advantage and at this stage in Manny's career I don't think he has the physical resources negate it.
canelo is green and overrated. today's cotto beats him at 154.
a pointless fight for manny at 152-154, even if he wins he will take unnecessary punishment like he did against marg.
Cotto? I don't think so...Cotto is washed up, hasn't had a quality win at 154 yet.
Does he make Canelo to come down to 152? If so, I'll take Manny...Canelo can't even get to 154 anymore, he should be fighting at 160.
Manny is 2 fast period.he will land at will and move around and win a decision.
PAC is done fighting over 147. He tested his limits and knows he can't. So unless Canelo can make 147, it won't happen. Only small possibility at 150 lb cw. Margarito really hurt him even though PAC dominated him.
A younger PAC would take this fight at 150-152 catchweight...Money would be too huge to decline.
A 2009-2010 version of PAC would beat down Canelo. Not sure about now. It'd be close, but Canelo would have a better chance to KO Manny. If Manny can handle his punches, he'd decision him.

Pacquiao would box circles around him from awkward angles en route to an easy UD all night long. Canelo is a great fighter, but his opinion of his own boxing talent is extremely overblown and grandiose.
He'd do much better to play the role of brawler and impose his size and strength on opponents (like he should've done with Mayweather) instead of casting himself in the role of cutesy counterpuncher so often.
This fight won't happen, Pacquiao will duck Canelo.
That sh*t is not a duck, bro. Manny said after Margs that he would never go up that high again. And dude was even talking going down to 140 after the Bradley fight.
Unless Canelo says he wants to do it at 147 (which ain't happening) then it ain't a duck. It's weight classes.
I dunno man, Canelo's not Rios. Canelo's going to get to Manny eventually. Question is, could Manny take the shots? It's one thing taking them from Bradley and another taking it from Alvarez at 154. Or 152 or whatever. I think it would be a tough, brutal fight for Manny. But yeah, if he could taste Canelo's power and be able to handle it all night -- then Pac would UD that ass. Canelo's there to be hit no doubt.

It's not happening unless Pacquaio has changed his mind about fighting above 147.
yup this is main reason why the fight most probably wont be made, I wonder for such a truce why they do not offer Floyd???
It is still the biggest fight to be made!
Pacquiao would out box the sh^t outta Canelo
Pacquiao would jump in with a 3 punch combination and spin out, rinse and repeat
Just watch the Pac vs Clottey or Rios fight
C'mon man, Rios? Lets keep it legit. Rios isn't a measuring tool for anybody. Max Kellerman beats Rios.
Did you seriously just say Canelo is a Clottey or Rios?
well IMHO maybe not a Rios but Clottey is pretty decent fighter, he could match up well and beat Canelo...

Man I love Manny, but I really think today's Pac gets folded by Canelo. Canelo's just too big. It's like a mack truck and a porsche going head to head. And it's not just Canelo's size either. Dude got skills. he throws some vicious combos & body shots. Combine that size & skill against a faded (although still top fighter) Manny and I don't think it ends well.
But for what it's worth I think a prime Manny skins this Canelo alive.
