Comments Thread For: Canelo: Forget The Head, I'm Ripping Mayweather's Body

[alembic]

The reality here is that Canelo has just managed to beat his first legit JMW (Trout) and got himself a decent passing grade. And now he's matched against the best fighter of this generation, maybe the best in the last couple. Canelo is not an elite fighter. In September, he's going to be embarrassed. Floyd will take him to School. This fight is purely about business, because remove Canelo's cash cow status, and the core question becomes: does the current Canelo best represent the fighter to unseat Floyd? I feel most honest BOXING fans will respond, NOPE.

Old Dela Hoya and fat Hatton gave Floyd worrisome rounds. Far faded Mosley almost KTFO him. Castillo gave the young Floyd his first loss. Thing is, no one among those mentioned comes even close to beating Canelo at this time. Let's see how strong Canelo's mind is. If he ends up with an insect brain's like Ortiz, say Sayonara to his unbeaten record.

I hope Canelo can go to the body.


I think Canelo wins via Mayweather breaking both of his fists.

So every opponent that has faced Floyd lately: Guerrero, Cotto, Ortiz, Mosley, have all been able to get Floyd against the ropes and in the corner various times during their respective fights but a bigger, stronger, 22 year old dude is not going to be able to do the same thing?

not guerrero... cherrypicker ran and ran and when Ghost did get cherrypicker on the ropes, he held on to cherrypicker tighter than Ellerbe holds on to cherrypicker's d*ck. I don't really see the ginger having very many chances with cherrypicker on the ropes.

Trust me, Canelo will be able to get him where he wants him,

doubt it now that cherrypicker is using his legs again

it's a matter of will he be able to capitalize on the opportunity?

there won't be many of them and the ginger doesn't have to power to make it count

I'm also a huge Guerrero fan but he is slow as a snail compared to Alvarez, that speed factor is going to play a big factor.

the ginger isn't all that fast... he's not judah fast... not even khan fast

Alvarez has a tall order in front of him but he is going to provide the toughest challenge Floyd has faced since the ODLH fight,

doubt it... cotto was/is probably the toughest cherrypicker will have for the rest of his career... no way cherrypicker will take any risks in the home stretch.

I'd venture to guess much more of a challenge than Oscar presented.

doubt it, DelaCrossdresser had stamina issues too, but not as bad as the ginger.

I've thought for quite some time now that Canelo has had the right attitude and fight plans.

lols... just from a few interviews? like Tyson said, everyone got a plan until they get hit.

His improvement in defense last fight vs Trout was amazing. Yeah, I know, Trout isn't Floydie... so what?

Trout is a counterpuncher so maybe that made the ginger look amazing

I'm talking about a fighter who improves a lot with each fight lately, and one who is still young, who is fast, tough, strong, patient, relentless.

it's pretty much the same ginger to me. I dunno about the relentless part... the kid gasses

He just needs to improve his stamina at this point.

too true, but even then, it might not be enough

Whether he wins or not isn't as important to me as the challenge he puts forth.

translation: the ginger doesn't have to win or even get close on the scorecards, as long as the ginger gives a good showing, I'll be happy

And Floydie will definitely know he's been in a fight when it's over, win or lose.

doubt it... it will probably as easy as the Ghost fight.

Canelo is one of the best opponents Floydie has faced so far.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

no he's not... he's just one of the biggest and cherrypicker is making him drop down to 152 just to minimize that advantage

how?

same thing is gonna happen to the ginger, the ginger won't even be able to get close enough to **** cherrypicker to the body

alvared is going to get beat regardless

WBA/WBA junior middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-0-1, 30KOs) is not going to make the same mistake that others have made against Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26KOs). When September 14th comes around, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Canelo is not going to target the head of Mayweather and chase a knockout that never comes by trying to land a shot to the chin. Instead the 22-year-old boxer will target the body to break Mayweather down, and then place his shots upstairs.

it depends on whether Alvarez can set his bodyshots up. He can risk being countered by going to the body

[TheGoldenChamp]

I have Canelo winning by Ko. This is the most confident I've ever felt about the threat level of Floyds opposition ever.

The jab is key but the thing with Floyd is.......he knows how to take your jab away.

1) use lateral movement
2) counter the jab with right hands over the top of his jab
3) Floyd can use his pull counter
4) Floyd can time the jab, duck underneath, get close and work inside
5) Floyd can catch the jab with his right hand then counter with his own jab

There are so many things that Floyd does to take peoples jab away.

De la hoya by far had the best jab of any fight that Floyd ever fought.
But by round 4 Floyd made Delahoya reluctant to throw the jab because he was getting caught with counter right hands.

Cotto was ok with the jab as well but that was a flat footed Floyd who was trying to be entertaining.
If Floyd fights like he did against Guerrero....no fighter will beat him or even touch him.

Best defense in history.

Dude, you know boxing!!, Hell I'm glad there are Boxing fans here that know what they talk about, good point to counter my argument, Still I think the jab is the best way to beat Floyd, It's the only punch I've seen bothering him.

If Canelo can get the knockout Im all for it but I think Mayweather will quit due to injuries when he sees he cant get Canelo out of there and keeps getting hit with a couple of right hand shots.
