Comments Thread For: Love: Floyd Mayweather Would School Canelo Alvarez

[totalstranga]

i know canelo looked very good against mosley, but lets be honest, mosley is too old at this point to be considered a top tier opponent, and was just coming off a loss,draw, and a lost. and lopez, well no disrespect to the guy, but he lost his last fight at 140 and was a tune up for ortiz at 147. i like canelo, i think he has potential but he needs to fight some top guys before even thinking about getting into the ring with floyd. unless all he cares about is the money and not winning... or oscar and golden boy are telling him he can win so they can cash in on him before he loses to a fighter that doesn't make them millions. he should fight a top 10 guy at 154, then cotto, and depending on how that goes, then possibly floyd. cotto alvarez would make a lot of money, it would be a big fight, and if it made good money and saul won in good fashion it would give him a lot more room when it comes to negotiating terms for a floyd fight.

a little sentence structure and you might do alright

Saul Alvarez is too open for the straight shots. These are Floyd's best punches

[SN!PER]

Floyd would make easy work of him, but with each passing year that outcome becomes more doubtful.

Oh, well thanks for your insight J'Leon. Big man. What were you a senior in high school when Canelo was a sop****re, kid? Canelo is a ****ing killer and keeps getting better. He would probably put Kirkland in the ground if they fought, whoever said Kirkland. He has the smarts and the especially the power to ruin Cotto and I'm a Cotto fan. Mayweather, probably not yet. But Mayweather is fading whether you funny 313 morons want to admit it. Canelo would embarrass Chavez by the way.

[Carlos Alberto]

Still not a reason to pursue the fight for Canelo, he's never gonna catchup to Floyd's experience or ring IQ and he can't wait for the guy to retire. I don't think he's quite ready to even hang and not meltdown against Floyd tho, he has to fight at least a fringe contender in his next fight.

as for J'Leon Love, I saw him watching the fights on thursday night last week and hes got crazy long arms - definitely a build for boxing, seen him fight a couple times and hope he turns out good.

Saul is in no way, shape, or form, ready for Floyd; however, that doesn't mean he won't reach that level in the future. For you to say that Saul will never catch up Floyd's experience and ring IQ is very incorrect. Saul is a very good fighter for only being 22 years of age. He could quite possibly reach the skill level that Floyd's possesses (just like there's a good chance that he won't).

I doubt Alvarez ever fights Lara & FM would take him apart but Floyd needs 2 get active...2 much inactivity in his mid 30's...eventually it catches up when a fighter least expects it...

[Oh you out son]

Well Canelo will keep getting better and Mayweather will keep getting worse. Canelo needs to fight Cotto then we can really see where he is at. If he stops Cotto, which I think he would, I think he deserves a shot at Mayweather. I'm not saying he would win, but I think it could be competitive. Mayweather wouldn't be able to hurt Canelo, but Canelo could def hurt Floyd if he could find him enough.

Canelo-Cotto would be huge though. I would pull hard for Cotto, but it would surprise me if Cotto would win.

Last year id say so, but I think a lot of us gotta realize Floyd is getting older and even Canelo today I believe can cause problems, especially with a more stationary Mayweather. One thing with Canelo im very impressed with is his combinations and the power behind them.

Floyd at 22 already showed how good he is going to be when he beat Genaro Hernandez and Manfredy

I just meant he won't be able to catch up to his experience while Floyd is still around and not retired...there isn't a huge window of time for Canelo to make this fight if he really wants to. Who knows, maybe Floyd sticks around for longer than I expect and Canelo has more time to bridge the gap and convince people he can hang sooner than later. His potential won't end with a Mayweather fight either, as long as you are ready to hold your own, getting in there with legends like that can actually help you
