    I'm tired of reading comments like these from boxers and boxing fans. It doesn't matter if u love Canelo and hate Floyd with a passion. Canelos best win was a narrow win against Trout. How can u go from narrowly beating Trout to a fight against Floyd is 50-50? Or Canelo will KO Floyd, but he couldn't KO Matt Hatton or Mosley. M Hatton moved up two divisions and Canelo couldn't KO him. How can fans draw the conclusion from this that he can KO Floyd who has actually fought at JMW before and has the best defense and lowest opponent connect rate in recent memory. Not to mention he was never even KD before. GTFO with the Canelo hype. I swear Canelo fans are blinder than PAC and Floyd fans combined.

        As much as we wanted to see Mayweather vs Pacquiao, how many of us really thought we'd see a Leonard vs Duran / Chavez vs Taylor type fight? If you think about it, what was the last hugely publicized fight that lived up to the expectation?

        Dlh Vargas me thinks.

              Canelo is slow on his feet and Floyd shouldn't have too many problems ifnding the target BUT the Mexican does have sharp reflexes and hits damn hard. If he can make Floyd miss with some of those right hands and fire his own back I'm under no illusions, he WILL HURT Floyd. Having said that, only the first 4 rounds will be interesting but when Floyd gets his rythm and Canelo starts to gas, the fight will revert back what it should be, Floyd pick pocketing rounds.

              This is not a 50/50 fight as people want you to believe. It's at best 70/30/ Canelo's natural power and physical gifts give him some what a bargaining chip but that chip will fall pretty soon.

                Floyds far too cautious and wary of Canelo to ask a CW, and he didn't need it.

                But Floyd will spend most of the fight clinching or running so will likely dissapoint

                  You mean when he said he would go toe to toe with Mosley and Cotto that he had the choice to box or fight , that he didnt have shot legs like you said ?

                  You haters are so pathetic , the guy is so gifted he can win in the pocket or box like a skilled surgeon , and you haters flip flop from one post to another .

                    How can YOU be insinuating that others FLIP FLOP when you went from hating fighters with a passion that ask for CWs to FLIP FLOPing and not having a problem when Floyd, your hero, requests for a CW?

                      I'm glad Canelo has believers. It's going to bring a lot of money to both guys. Canelo will find out what it's like to deal with a guy who will hit him and avoid his punches. Canelo has a punchers chance, that's it.
