Honestly, I'd pick Canelo to upset Floyd based on styles and age. Floyd plateaus out at welterweight. He's not the same fighter at jr middleweight. And because of this, I really have no desire to see Floyd fight anyone at this point. There's no one at welterweight or jr welterweight that excites me fighting him. A Broner fight would be cool. But Broner has his lips vise griped to Floyd's sack. So that aint happening. The most interesting fights for Floyd are at 54 and beyond. But if Floyd is gonna take a chance above his comfort zone, I'd rather it be against Martinez at middleweight than Canelo at 54. Beating Caleno does nothing for Floyd's legacy. He's already a two-time jr middelweight beltholder. I say Floyd needs to challenge Martinez for the middleweight strap or retire.

Based on what exactly? That long list of tough opposition Canelo has fought? LMFAOComment

Guerrero and Alexander have both done way more to deserve a fight with Floyd than Canelo has ever done. But you're right I would much rather see him fight CaneloFair enough, but wouldn't you rather see Floyd expose Canelo instead of fighting Guerrero or Alexander? neither of the latter have decent resumes either....HBO seems to love guerrero's story so all of a sudden he's mentioned in the same breath as Mayweather? I call that hype too. Canelo is the best option for Floyd right now, hype job or not...lets see history be made.Comment

Pac got KTFO. Martinez entire 2013 is gonna be tied up with the Jr rematch. So Canelo is the current hope for the "Please Kick Floyd Mayweather's Ass" fan club. And if Floyd beats him, he'll immediately go from the guy Floyd fears to the guy Floyd cherry picked.Comment

Trust me, I too would love to see Mayweather and Martinez fight, but tbh don't see it happening...EVER. Canelo would be the next best thing, guess I'm just used to accepting the fights that are ok over the fights that are truly great. Regardless, both fights are far better than Guerrero or Alexander.....especially now that Floyd fights only once a year.Honestly, I'd pick Canelo to upset Floyd based on styles and age.

Honestly, based on styles, I think Canelo is a tougher fight for Floyd than Martinez. Canelo is not nearly as talented or skilled as Martinez. But he would fight a big man's fight against Floyd. Whereas Martinez would be trying to outslick the slickest fighter in the game.Trust me, I too would love to see Mayweather and Martinez fight, but tbh don't see it happening...EVER.

What's sulaiman talking about catchweights? Floyd often said he dosen't fight at catchweights cause he wants the best fighter at the best weight if this is for a championship fight then there shouldn't be any catchweights involved.Comment
