[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBC/WBA junior middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-0-1, 30KOs) has promised to stay calm and focused when he faces pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26KOs) on September 14th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Over the years, Canelo watched a lot of Mayweather's fights and he noticed a common trend in many of them - Mayweather's opponents begin to get desperate due to frustration. [Click Here To Read More]

Canelo counter punching mayweather??? Maybe his only chance?

Canelo wasnt that active against trout which me and most people thought hes struggling at 154, now at 152 i cant imagine him pressing the fight!

Win-win for canelo makes loads of $, makes him bigger PPV star and if loses he'll blame weight!!!!

So far Canelo is saying all the right things as far as studying Floyd closely and putting in the hard work goes. I really don't think he has the tools as far as hand and foot speed goes, but the real key will be how well he conditions his body to be able to keep up the pace with Floyd and stay focused for 12 rounds without gasing cause one thing we know for sure is that Floyd can easily glide in and out of harm's way without tiring all night long.

I think Canelo should try and maul Floyd, really put the pressure on him. He should get Floyd on the ropes and **** to the body. Floyd slips punches by ducking and moving to the side. He can be hit in the body, but his opponents always seem head hunt instead of concentrating on the body.

At least Canelo isn't saying the typical "I'm going to knock Mayweather out, he's going to have to be carried out" etc...

Man we hear stuff like this every Mayweather fight. People shouldn't even get hyped about it. The thing about Floyd is that he always says its different watching a fight then being in one. Canelo is thinking Floyd is going to fight one way and he might do another. Canelo doesn't have the skills,stamina or work rate to really deal with Floyd. He has to really rely on his size and power and take advantage of it but Floyd obviously knows the advantages Canelo has coming into the ring so hes obviously haves a great game plan.

I think that's what he should be saying. I think he should try to mug Floyd and then KO him.

I'm sure most of Floyd's opponents have went into the fight with the same sentiment.

Then they end up hitting fresh air...
