He didnt really talk about styles at all. Or experience. Yes, Canelo mixes it up, and is big. But will he land? Will he throw enough to out score Floyd? Will Floyd be able to take his shots IF he lands?

Im starting to think Canelo has a better chance of winning, but for me its still Floyd by UD, based on his experience, and Canelo, i dont believe has the style to beat him. Good, but not good enough. When Floyd gets into his rhythm, he will pot shot Canelo, make him miss, counter him. Just usual Floyd stuff.

I'm not giving money to Floyd, I'm not ordering this ppv, but I agree with Doug, this is the fight that Floyd can lose! I picked Trout against Canelo, but Canelo proved me wrong in there!

Canelo showed some defensive skills and smarts in that fight! And Canelo is not that slow as most analyst said! Canelo is not as fast as Floyd or Pac, but he has a quick trigger for a 154lbs fighter. And he has a better straight right and uppercuts than cotto.

I'm not solid yet but I'm getting close on picking Canelo! one more week! I'm still watching his last fights! Lucky they're showing the ppv previews and replays for free on on demand!

Remember what styles gave Floyd problems? Castillo, DLH!! Canelo's better!

Haha. Oscar got these dudes believing his BS. Great promotion.

He makes some good points about Canelo. He's going to have to be very smart. Canelo will have problems if Floyd changes gears and Canelo can't adjust or his corner has no solutions for those changes.

Floyd's going in with a different mentality than he did against Oscar and Cotto.

When the fight was first announced I thought it was 75-35 Mayweather. Right now I'm thinking 60-40 and I'll tell you why.

Over trained - Mayweather hasn't fought twice in 1 year in about 6 years, he was 150lbs 30 days before the fight. People are overlooking that Mayweather could have over trained for this fight, he was gasping for air in that public workout when he was doing the speed bag telling people to step back so he could get some air. I'm not saying that's a clear sign but he looked a little rusty when just a few weeks back he looked better on another ustream workout he had.

Maybe he was just having a bad day but he didn't look like vintage Mayweather.

Hand problems - He admittedly hurt his hands against Guerrero and less then 1-2 months he's back in the gym? How's he going to keep Canelo off if he were to injure his hand again? To get Canelo's respect he's going to have to put some hurting on him and with a busted hand that could be a huge problem.

Canelo is really good/Smart - He's a fighter who has shown to adapt his style and come in with a great game plan, Mayweather might have a false sense of confidence from fighting the "Toe to Toe" Zombie in Guerrero and might have bit off more then he can chew.

Canelo is getting no respect around here but I can't remember the last Mayweather fight where I thought there was a good chance of him losing.

My cousin will! And it will cost me only a case of beer!

I have it 60-40 for Mayweather rounds 1-4. After that 80-20 Mayweather.
What am I saying??? Is that if Canelo is gonna win he has to do hughe damage in rounds 1-4.

Floyd can win in a pot shooting/ boring contest! But if he fights like in a Cotto fight He'll lose!
