Comments Thread For: Gomez: Mayweather Never Fought a Mexican Like This

[FURYJONES]

Lol y'all are making a big mistake by disregarding Canelo.... he has great defensive skills which is crucial to beating Mayweather.. Look at all of the fighters who troubled mayweather. They all had a great defense. Mayweather isn't a volume puncher and if you make him miss he'll have to open up which is where you can catch him.

Easier said then done my dude!

Great defense my ass! And what hell does Mexican have to do with it when he hasn't faced a black fighter like Floyd if you wanna go there.

I am sick an tired of reading about how mayweather is the p4p king .who gives a ****! U mayweather nut hugging lovers.any one can be beat.why dont u give alvarez credit for once.u ****en idiots .if gayweather was the best how come he didnt fight paquiao.also when he fought oscar delahoya it should have been a draw.zab judah gave him a boxing lesson and joseluis castillo kicked his sorry ass.

Saul's head movement was great at times vs Trout but he's going to have to be more consistent v Floyd.

Alvarez is quick also but not as fast as Oscar and overall not as good as 2007 Oscar either. Just something to remember.

Spot on. Conditioning is going to play a key role.

It's funny how all of a sudden it's all about who mayweathers never fought and nothing about a pure boxer that canelo has never been up against! SMH get off the canelo jock strap and stop disrespecting the clear p4p champ and highest paid athlete in the history of boxing! And btw who the hell has alvarez fought that have been notable? Don't worry I'll wait................. 42-0 30ko's? When where and what kind of boxers were they, no notables? Or do they even exist? For all I know his record and resume was forge to gain credibility in the states to box and shortcut his way to title fights. Golden boy is the new don king of this era! How is canelo getting this fight this fast anyway? How many ppv's has he done? Once again I'll wait........ This guys up bringing and biography us a joke just a ploy to getting a big payday! There is nothing special about Alvarez. And whoever thinks he will create problems for Floyd " don't know s*** bout boxing" PERIOD!

You have terrible logic? What did Ortiz to get the Floyd fight? Floyd is nothing special all you have to do is beat Berto to get to him. Floyd is a great boxer but fights guys who have bo chance or washed up legends like oscar and shane. Alvarez is a tough fight for Floyd just wait and see.

Blah blah blah...im not biased in any way for this fight im a fan of both fighters but time after time we hear about how floyds opponents bring something new to the table and we all see what ends up happening. Floyd is on another level he makes adjustments in every round if he needs to and anyone from canelos camp should just save their breath.

So you **** on Floyd but you cosign a guy who won't fight anyone his own size and when he does ( Trout) it has to be open scoring and all this other suspect bs.

You should do more research and respond with logical facts instead of talking off a opinionated emotional. Comparison: "a boxer can't box smart fighting angry" they become vulnerable and open for counters. Think about it my dude.

How hypocritical of you. Beg for Canelo to get "deserved credit" all while you imply that Floyd is overrated?

If I'm not mistaken, the majority of everybody talking about this fight is saying that Floyd is taking on his toughest opponent in several years, possible ever. That, to me, is giving Canelo his just due.

Further, how long will it take FLOYD to get the credit he deserves? Without everybody who isn't a "Floyd fan" making up an excuse for him to have to prove himself yet again? That's the real question. Canelo is 22, hasn't fought anybody that was a household name besides Mosley, and has a LOT to prove.

Prior to Ortiz fighting Berto, Berto was widely considered a top 3-4 welterweight. Only Pacquiao and Floyd were unanimously considered better. Berto WAS a great prospect. Also, Ortiz came in to their fight at like 165....pretty close to the difference in weight this fight will have. Ortiz was not able to impose his will like many thought he'd be able to. Sure, he started swinging for the fences and could back Floyd up, but didn't do anything worthwhile when he was in those positions.

Now when Guerrero fought Floyd, he was coming off a win over Berto, also. He was also the interim WBC champ at 147. Plus, hadn't lost in how many years? It was a decent fight to make from a competitive standpoint. Who else was he supposed to fight at that point? Pacquiao? Alvarez? Ortiz again? Cotto? A light welterweight?
