If someone watches this fight and is disappointed, they are dumb. I think it's going to be a great fight, but I'm not an idiot thinking it's going to be Gatti-Ward... or even Mayweather-Cotto for that matter. It's going to be a chess match for the most part.

What my man Eric El Terrible is trying to say is folks, dont get to hyped up the fight being a Barn Burner.. Im sure it is the fight that everyone wants to see but knowing Floyds Defense and Canelos in experience, dont set the bar too high on expectations..
Viva El Terrible Morales.Comment

Im with Morales on this one, this fight will be heavily hyped but unless Canelo becomes a super agressive Pressure fighter like Castillo I don't see much action here. Canelo usually stands in the middle to conserve his energy, he drains himself just to make 154 and has stamina issues, thats why he doesn't really push often in the fight so he doesn't gas out.
I see Floyd just boxing circles and pot shotting Canelo forcing him to chase him. Only way Canelo has a shot is if he lands some hard leather if Mayweather gets carless shooting for a body jab or Canelo suddenly gets better stamina and applies heavy pressure.
He has a short reach so he won't be able to out box Floyd.Comment

That is Morales's nice way of saying he thinks Canelo is going to lose. JMM you can tell feels the same way. It is nice to see some honest Mexicans who aren't just picking Canelo to win because he is Mexican. ODLH wants a Mexican to beat Floyd so bad he can't see straight it is hilarious lol. What has Floyd beaten, 9-10 Mexicans in his career in titlefights? I do agree with Morales though, everyone thinks these opponents are gonna bullrush Floyd like madmen and it will be a free for all. Obviously that is easier said than done. Canelo is not even that type of fighter. Canelo has a shot at beating Floyd if he comes with the perfect fight plan and his A+ game. But he has to be able to hurt Floyd as well though I feel. It just depends, I have seen Canelo look hot and cold, depending on the fight. I think he will fight his best come Sept. 14 though but can he keep it up for 3 mins every round for 12 rounds? Will he hesitate because of what is coming back at him? Thing is Floyd must hit harder than people think or if not, then what stopped Cotto, Shane or Guerrero from just walking him down and pulverizing him with shots? Speed and precision is power and I doubt he can really hurt Canelo but do not be shocked if he gets Canelo's respect and he doesn't just walk in on Floyd.Comment
