    What would Floyd do?

    Notable opponents:

    Canelo: 41-0 (30 KO's)
    Josesito Lopez @ LM
    Shane Mosley @ LM
    Kermit Cintron @ LM
    Carlos Baldomir @ LM

    They both have Mosley and Baldomir in common

    Guerrero 31-1-18(KO's):
    Andre Berto @ WW
    Michael Kastsidis @ LW
    Vicente Escobedo@ LW
    Joel Casamayor @ LW

    No notable opponents in common. Most notable opponents in light weight and only two fights in WW.

      Wonder how the Stans will defend his choice of Guerrero. They usually say who has he fought and he doesn't deserve it but Canelo is the better challenge out of the two guys. Say yes to boxing and NO to dkriding

              Guerrero is mandatory , but in the end it doesnt really matter who he fights you will say he is ducking whoever it is he dont fight , Canello is only a challenge because of size , if he were 147 you would be saying he is over rated and dont deserve a shot , then you would be all high on a MW then to fight him , you guys are so see through .

                So you are trying to argue that Guerroro is a legitimate opponent then?

                If Floyd wants to fight lightweights, he should do it at lightweight, not 154.

                  No need for Floyd to fight lightweights at 154, thats Canelos gig

                    Simple question, will Floyd duck Canelo?

                    He is the only legitimate fight out there for him, will he take it, or will he find himself a blow up lightweight to fight?

                    I use to think Canelo was a hype job, but I have come around to the realization that he is brutality.

                    Its been a long time since I have seen a fighter with the variety of punches that Canelo comes with in smooth combinations like he does... and those body shots... They make me piss blood just watching them...
                    A few quips:

                    the speed of the video seems to have been sped up in at least a few instances to exaggerate Canelo's speed. The vid doesn't show where Cotto had Canelo on ***** street. The vid doesn't show Canelo's sub-par footwork, which is often plodding.

                    I highly doubt Floyd would duck Canelo based on any sort of threat he posses. I think he might decline fighting him because it would leave him open to criticism for cherry picking. Floyd doesn't have that many fights left, and fewer still which could add to his legacy.

                      I voted yes. I don't think Floyd will ever fight him but I hope I am wrong. I would not call it ducking if Floyd vacates his 154 pound WBA tittle and returns to his natural weight of 147 pounds. If Floyd keeps his 154 pound tittle but refuses to fight Canelo then that would be a duck because Canelo really wants to fight Mayweather.
