Ppl want to see floyd loose soooooo bad its crazy!!!!!!
You think canelo is the first to see floyds body being untouched in past fights its not cuz fighters dont try dummy its cuz they cant all while gettin punched in the face then comes the frustration then comes the stamina issues then easy money rest of the fight i know pressure to rise to the biggest accation in fighting throws guys off an u cant tell me canelo wont feel it he knows the whole mexican race is riding on his shoulders and i dont think he will be able to box floyd for 12 rds he will get desperate an do as the rest have done bfor him .

Double triple jab then left to the body just might work.

Some fans act as if Floyd is unhittable. He is very hit able now at this stage in his career. Canelo is going to walk through Floyd's punches and Floyd will break his hand in the process giving Canelo that slim opportunity he needs to pull off the upset.

The key to beating Floyd is the jab. If Canelo wants to focus strictly on the body then he has a high chance of getting KTFO imo because of his shorter arms Canelo's reach is 70" but Floyd's reach is 72" so based on that it isn't a good gameplan to begin with.. It will be Floyd-Cotto all over because that's basically what Cotto tried an he found out quick that Floyd was stronger then he thought..

Mayweather survives

Sorry everybody, but I believe that Mayweather wins by decision. I see this playing out by Canelo putting up some good numbers vs. Mayweather, but barely being able to hit him. I think what people miss about Mayweather is that he can anticipate what you're going to do. In addition, his reflexes are quick - in fact, quicker than Canelo's reflexes. The only fighter that can probably "beat" Mayweather is someone as quick as he is and as smart as he is. As of now, the only other boxer that I think would give Mayweather some competition is Rigondeaux - just because of his slickness AND speed. I don't see Canelo being as fast as Mayweather and that is going to be the detriment that ultimately costs Canelo the fight.

Yea but Cotto punished Floyd , yea Floyd won but he got hit a lot in that fight and he struggled with him, he even admitted he changed back to his father because he thought he got hit too much in the cotto fight .. Reach won't mean anything , I think Canelo is a little taller than Floyd so reach should be even .. Interesting fight , Canelo is a very smart fighter

Floyd said he got hit a lot because he chose to fight a way that he usually don't. He said he went back to his father to be more defensive. Which is why he used his legs a lot more vs Guerrero. If you look at his fight with Cotto, Floyd would intentionally sit on the ropes and allowed Cotto to corner him instead of just using his legs to move away. There are quite a few times Floyd would be at the ropes and Cotto would be 10 feet away from him and Floyd would just sit there and allow Cotto to test his defense on the ropes. He could have just fought in the middle of the ring the entire fight if he wanted to.

Run, potshot, run, clinch, rinse and repeat.
That's pretty much will be the tone of this fight.
Before you know it, it's the last round.
Mayweather wins by a boring UD once again.
Solution to clinching? Practice employing rabbit punching.

There's gotta be punishment for clinching and holding.
If the ref can't enforce the rules. Break them.

Take into account that Cotto used his jab a lot. Canelo is not known to use his jab much at all. He's gotten better with the head movement but he still just bombs away and Floyd will pick him apart with straight punches.. he's nothing like Trout who is always off balance and sloppy...
