    Man...from what I have seen, Floyd does not have any trouble with this kid.

      Alvarez gets countered and outboxed for 12 rounds to a wide UD win for Floyd. Beating Josesito Lopez doesn't prove **** when it comes to Floyd Mayweather.

        -Mayweather is past prime, almost 36 years old.

        -Mayweather not as mobile as he used to be which is very crucial against someone like Canelo. Mayweather on the ropes trying to duck/weave is Canelo's wet dream.

        -Mayweather doesn't have the power to keep Canelo off of him. Without the power/movement, Canelo can potentially walk Floyd down and punish him.

        -Floyd did not have a good showing against Cotto at 154lb. Although Mayweather definitely won, we saw Cotto landing some big shots. 154lb was not a good weight for Mayweather.
        Pray tell me: WHO THE **** has Canelo beaten?

          I tend to agree with this statement. For some reason I don't think Mayweather will fight Canelo. I believe it has something to do with his 154lb performance against Cotto. I wouldn't blame Mayweather for not wanting to go up to 154lb again.

          This is the fight that should happen next for both guys. If the fight happens, Mayweather gets his first loss.

            This is one of the best threads I've seen on why Canelo can win against Mayweather...

            NSB needs Canelo to validate himself by fighting someone that they consider to be a dangerous opponent for him because they lack the ability to see his talent and skill until he's already proven it. If these people were recruiters or scouts, they wouldn't sign any prospects worth a **** because someone that can actually recognize talent would have already signed them.

            Back to the topic... Canelo's physical strength, combinations, timing, accuracy, hand speed, body punching, and offensive mentality could spell the end to Mayweather's undefeated record. Mayweeather lacks the consistent lateral movement that he would need to avoid Canelo's brutal onslaught.

            I can see Canelo imposing his will on Floyd, forcing him to the ropes, and letting his combinations loose on him. Mayweather has a great inside defense, but Canelo's strength and solid punch selection for his combinations would have him breaking his defense down without Floyd being able to adjust to continually move laterally as he did in JLC II (he'll be stuck having to defend and counter off the ropes like he had to in JLC II). Mayweather would still score points due to Canelo's disregard for defense due to not respecting Mayweather's power so I can see Floyd eeking a decision, but it'd be the most grueling fight he's ever had.

              This right here. I've read somewhere that Canelo twitted the Floyd deal is almost done. I'm almost certain Floyd will end up fighting Guerrero. If Floyd/Canelo is true, Floyd will get nothing but 110% respect from me because that's the fight to be made right now.

              Canelo would finally be the match we've all been waiting for. It would be the best opponent Floyd goes up against in a very long time.

                Floyds like a cherry picking charity case. Almost 36? JMM just beat Pac aged 39. Fighters last longer nowadays. Humans live so much longer so of course humans primes will be a bit longer. Plus Floyd dont get hit so his ring career should last longer anyway, just an excuse considering SSM can fight Canelo, no excuses. Just makes Floyd look such a charity case.

                So Canelo may be a tough fight for Floyd, so what. Its part and parcel of being a boxer and so called one of the best fighters in the world. JMM is confident of stepping up 2 divisions to beat Floyd so Floyd must develop some of the confidence guys like JMM has. Stop having a defeatest attitude.

                If Floyd cant fight guys like canelo, then Floyd aint no best fighter on the planet.

                      I've always been saying. Floyd will ''Never'' fight canelo. I'm 200% sure. Floyd will move down to 140lb
