    Just watched canelo vs Lopez, the 1st half of the trout fight, and the first few rounds against mosely. IMHO he won't even be able to touch Floyd. 1 punch at a time, extremely slow feet, questionable gas tank...I just don't see Saul winning unless he just focuses on the body and at some point lands one or two big ones. I got Floyd by tko (ref stoppage, Canelos eye is swollen shut and just getting potshotted)

        So what could happen if Canelo shows up with stamina for constant activity throughout all 12?

          Then his chances to win are even better

            Y'all don't give Canelo enough credit for the Trout win, Trout was very hyped and the open scoring meant that Canelo didn't take any unecessary risks. To be honest we don't know how good Canelo is, he could be better than we thought. It's clear in a lot of his fights that he is toying with his prey.

              I got the feeling that he is good at making the other guy fight at his tempo (which is very slow) and then all the sudden he throws very quick, explosive, and hard shots that are totally out of sync with the rest of his general rhythm or pace and this might give fighters problems. I honestly think its an awkward rhythm thing as opposed to him toying, what do you guys think?

                  I could be a little to do with this but Floyd fights at that same pace. Most pundits feel you have to make Floyd fight and thats wnot really Canelo's style he's very patient.

                    Does anyone know when all access is? I hope there's all access for Matthysse Garcia too.

                      Only credit Alvarez should get for the Trout fight is that Alvarez is at least good enough to fight on even terms with another good junior middleweight. Most didn't even think he won, and the open scoring turned the fight into a damn joke.
