    Canelo because of his size, speed, youth, power and ability to throw crisp combinations.

    I don't think Guerrero has anything in his arsenal that Floyd has not seen in his career; live or in sparring.

      He barely had him on the ropes anyway.

        current version of mayweather, both would give him massive problems, but canelo is a bit riskier because of his power

          Guerrero is a rough tough determined but sloppy fighter. He will NOT be able to do to Floyd what he did to Berto. Canelo puts his punches together much better and has the size and power to hurt Floyd and possibly put him down.

          The excuse coming from the Floydboys is that Canelo hasnt proved himself and doesnt deserve a shot at Floyd yet. My question is, when has beating Berto become an amazing feat worthy of a shot at Floyd? Who has Berto ever beaten to make him a stepping stone to Floyd? His best win is against Collazo.

          Floyd is a 147/154lb fighter. Guerrero has had just 2 fights at 147 and has been at 135lbs and below for the majority of his career.

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.
            Its the same way the Floydboys were hyping up Baldomir prior to his fight with Floyd although they knew he was a nothing but a journeyman with very limited skills.

                Only fools can sit there & say ginger is better. He's done absolutely nothing for that argument to hold any merit.
                Agree with all of this.

                Guerrero is by far the more proven fighter. Canelo might turn out to be a tough kid, but he's fighting ridiculous fights. Put him in with someone dangerous all-of-a-sudden, and he might get exposed.

                  But if you put him in vs Guerrero, it'd probably be more of the same. Not that that answer the poll question either way.

                    Yeah, but we're talking Floyd vs Guerrero or Canelo.

                    Canelo would most likely get beaten by Trout. If he takes that fight I will be incredibly pleasantly surprised, but I won't hold my breath.

                      it seems more risk than they're willing to take. doesn't have to Trout, there's Lara, Molina, Kirkland, Vanes, even K9. Angulo has looked like **** since coming back, really shouldn't be too risky if Canelo's got anything
