    Canelo I think would be tough for Floyd, but I wouldn't put it down to power but that certainly would be a big positive for Canelo.

    I just think his youth, size plus his boxing ability and how Canelo uses it would cause real problems for Floyd at this point in his career. It would be a very big test for both guys for different reasons, but I could see reasons for both guys winning.

    So I find the fight pretty interesting.

        your hands can't hit what your eyes can't see. Ginger wouldn't have a HOPE against Pretty Boy Floyd.

Right now I feel Saul is too green for the most elite like Manny and Floyd but I see Manny being able to do better simply because he has an ATG chin while Floyd has a decent chin but retreats into his shell when hurt. Canelo might be the strongest 154 lbs'er in the world right now. Floyd right now probably wins a decision because he's a very good tactical fighter and would build enough points to decision this kid but like i said Canelo is not ready. Maybe in a year or 2 they will fight. Floyd has taken so many breaks he's a young 35 in ring years so I don't see wear and tear being a problem. It would be a good fight and might even cement Floyd's legacy since he won't fight Manny. Every legend has faced serious adversity and proved where they belong maybe Floyd can do that. Who knows?
                Canelo hasn't fought anyone yet and Floyd is as tough as they come. Canelo ain't walkin through Floyd by any means...patna! Get that sick **** out of your head, lmao!

                  It'll be great to bump this thread 1-2 years from now when this fight happens and Floyd beats his ass.

                    Bump this thread when Mayweather takes a real challenge, and Canelo stops him with a vicious body shot!!!!

                      canelo wins easy. he throws the type of combo punches that floyd can't defend against as we saw in the cotto fight and floyd's legs are gone as we also saw. he would batter him against the ropes till he got the stoppage. he's faster, stronger, younger, punches harder, has better stamina, is a natural 154 pounder and is hungrier than cotto and cotto was competitive for the entire fight. cotto could have won that fight if he just had that little something extra. canelo has that little something extra in every category. floyd's going to have to wait till devon alexander or malignaggi is available if he wants another easy 30-40 million against another hand picked opponent. the older and slower floyd gets the more he has to screen his opponents. canelo is out.
