Canelo vs Mayweather

[nickphilli]

I think people are thinking this is a lot easier fight then it really is for Floyd..people seem to be forgetting that this isn't the same Floyd. He is still a fantastic fighter, but imo he is on a slow decline. Compare his fights prior to his first retirement against Oscar and Hatton to his last 2 against Victor Ortiz and Shane..in the last two he seems to be standing his ground, now he claims its to prove he can do it..but I think his legs aren't what they used to be..he's also been hit in the last 2 fights that he wouldn't have gotten caught with prior to the first retirement..so a pretty good technically sound, strong, athletic and accurate fighter with a good jab is a cake walk for this version of floyd? I think that is absurd. Victor Ortiz was making for an interesting and competitive fight...Canelo is better all around then Ortiz..just my opinion.

Thoughts?

He's strong enough at WW to stand his ground now. He doesn't have to use legs as defense anymore. You just end up wasting energy anyways.

Floyd is too fast, too skilled, too experienced and too polished for Canelo.

From Matthew Hatton, Rhodes, Gomez, and Cintron to Mayweather?

You gotta be kidding me.

If you think Alvarez is better than Ortiz you're crazy.

Canelo isn't even a real fighter...HE'S ALL HYPE.

every fighter has to step up in competition sometime.

I would interested in this fight happening, for sure.
Id rather Floyd have an 'easy' fight then not fight at all.

no fan boy but people spouted off about mayweather riding a bike for 12 but then he walks mosley and ortiz down and all the sudden he doesnt have it...lets keep it real mayweather is giving everyone the style they wanted to see for 5 years so enjoy it

Stop being so defensive.

Canelo is nothing to envy...

He had his hands full with Mathew Hatton...no way does he trouble Mayweather.

ps he walks canelo down wins on points easy no ko though

He was only 20 years old then, and has gotten better every fight since. meanwhile, Mayweather is getting older and older(although he doesnt have much wear and tear on his body, so his ring age isnt too bad.)

Im not saying that Alvarez beats Mayweather. but its possible that it could happen in the future, of course depending on how both of their careers progress.
