Floyd Mayweather vs Saul Alvarez Master Thread - Post ALL Related Topics HERE

[I Love Jesus!]

So Harold Lederman was asked whether he felt Canelo right now is better than the version of Oscar that Mayweather fought, and he was quick to note no. I honestly feel it's debatable, in fact one thing I can say is Oscar was quicker on his feet, especially when he exploded. Canelo does present new things, how that applies against Mayweather doesn't look too good to me.

Anyway, do you guys agree with Lederman?

Nah ur talking about a 22 year old kid he'll prob improve every fight for the next 4 years or so. We dont know what hes bringing to the table yet. Trouts the real deal ill say that

"we believe in and rely on skills more than size because myself, Roger, and Big Floyd all beat guys way bigger than us"

"At the end of the day, a guy with skills can actually move up to win multiple titles because of the skills he has, not because he's big enough or anything like that. It's because he's way smarter, and that's basically the situation with Floyd. "

" The one thing with Canelo is Canelo is flat-footed, so that makes it a lot easier for Floyd to get on his toes, dance around"


SO if all that is true then why the 152 CW?

but they are right. Canelo does fight flat-footed and so Floyd can fight on the outside and make it difficult for Canelo. I was thinking the same thing. If Canelo had better speed and was better at countering then that would negate whatever Floyd would do BUT Canelo doesn't have that kind of speed.

Canelo needs to train to time Floyd and work on closing off the ring and of course, his work-rate and stamina issues ....

When is Floyd going to fight a slick black boxer???

Who will win?

C'mon, really?

[check hook]

Floyd is going to be moving and pot shotting all night because of Canelo's size. Consequently if he wins all of the brain dead posters on here will call the fight boring and criticise Floyd for "running" instead of squaring up and ****ing with a guy who outweighs him by 20-25 pounds.

Again = not much credit and let's move onto Matthysse/Garcia winner as the next one he's ducking/could beat him blah blah. Either that or start talking about how he should keep fighting 54 pounders or move up to 60.

When one exists that's good enough and marketable enough? (TR excluded). Though i know what you mean. This is the type of fighter that actually has a better chance.

Alexander, Lara, and Trout. Devon is the closest to actually getting a shot.

I think after this fight win or lose, this will be the last time Floyd will fight above 147.
