    I voted Canelo. I think he will beat Floyd and Guerrero will put up a good fight but lose.

      voted canelo. i think he'd be more patient... will he win? no clue, but he'd make it a closer fight than ghost. i can see ghost being ok from the outside but as soon as he gets in close floyd would have a field day with them quick uppercuts.

        I'm copping out and saying equal. Guerrero is a more well rounded fighter, and can present multiple styles. Alvarez is very limited, but has size.

          Ghost would get mauled on the outside. Don't even talk about him getting Floyd engaged on the inside. He'd get KO'd before even getting there.

            How does canelo not have power? He ****ing KNOCKED OUT Baldomir! im sure that is something impressive. Nevertheless, Guerrero will give him problems with the right hook straight left combo. Just like judah kept hitting mayweather with the left straight. If guerrero has a chance to win he needs to get inside and throw that straight left and mayweather would be in trouble.

            I see Canelo as the bigger threat very good boxing iq never 'over does it' stays cool and collected. Even during sparring he doesn't have bust ups just plays the smart way. eventually if he does what cotto did to floyd with more power and them body shots i reckon canelo will beat him. But saying that its all a utopia, Floyd is the smartest guy out there.

            Predictions: Floyd UD Guerrero
            And for the sake of it Canelo Stopping Floyd very early.

                Canelo...Floyd has no business at 154. The weight isn't the problem, but the weight combined with heavyweight gloves means he can't consistently back off big guys.

                  Guerrero seriously sucks. Had he not relied on dirty tactics he would of lost to Andre ***ing Berto. Canelo is the more sound fighter, bigger and stronger. Of course he is the tougher fight. The saying must be true, you're only as good as your last fight because RG gets some major love on this site. The dude is not very good.

                    This is a discussion that should NOT be happening now.

                    Why?

                    Canelo needs more experience. How can we have threads about Canelo saying that he needs to step it up in competition and other threads saying he is a big threat to Floyd? Canelo needs more time. If I were him, he actually should have had a fight in December/January. Young fighters should fight often if they are winning their fights relatively easily.

                    Guerrero: What has Guerrero done at WW? He had a tough time in his first fight there and his fight against Berto was not that easy either. Just to know that Guerrero felt like he had no choice but to stay on the inside with Berto puts questions on his ability to fight on the outside. For example, do you think that someone like Floyd would feel forced to fight on the inside because he feels that his skills are not going to be enough to handle the opponent? I don't think so. Berto was hitting Guerrero with some heavy shots. If Berto started sooner or if he had connected a tad better Guerrero could have been knocked down.

                    Secondly, Guerrero beat Berto in a hard fight. Ortiz did that too. Is that all that is required to face Floyd? Beat Berto? Well, it didn't help Ortiz as he hasn't won at WW since then!


                    How many more times do we have to see Floyd in with guys that need more time at their respective divisions? I have seen this movie before and it always ends by saying, that the loser wasn't ready to fight the winner.

                    Don't get me wrong. There is potential in them just like Ortiz had the potential but by using that word "potential", it usually implies that you need to give them time and activity in the ring before facing someone of Floyd's caliber. Only with time can we seriously say, yup they have a real chance of winning.

                    Now it's all about hype. NOTHING MORE!!!

                      True. Also, bear in mind that Guerrero didn't KO Berto, who became the recipient of millions of the Ghost's punches on the face and body. Berto still went the distance.

                      But I'm not going to say Guerrero sucks. He could give problems to a lot fighters at 140-147.
