Canelo only throws one punch at a time and winds up when he does. Talk about telegraphing his punches.

Canelo isnt fast, and he's not exactly carrying rocks in his fists either, he's no one punch KO guy and he needs to land a few good shots to do enough damage. He wont be able to do that with Floyd who can clearly outbox him. Money chose his oponent well, again.
I'm giving Floyd a 80% chance of winning, maybe more considering the catchweight and how taylor made Canelo is for him.

Floyd nullifies so many styles and reduces the work rate of fighters with timing and movement. Mosley looked sensational in dispatching Margarito but after 2 rounds against Mayweather, he was reduced to almost nothing. Floyd would have to age and or Canelo would have to show a level of agression and skills that have not been seen before this fight to be something other than a Mayweather Clinic.

I'm sure someone may or may not have mentioned this, but you Canelo is going to have keep Mayweather off balance with a jab, keep throwing the jab, that's what he need to focus on in his training camp. Once he able to jab Mayweather to the ropes can he go to work on his body but he should get too close, just enough space to when his jab extend of which he should throw and then counter to the body.
If he does that I will like to see if Mayweather can adjust to this attack, if so Canelo may have him if Mayweather gets aggressive and he decides to wait and play defense walking Mayweather down.

...assuming Canelo can trap him and actually land shots similar to these.
How does Mayweather hold up against this type of artillery at a sustained rate if it can be managed? This is literally my only worry for Floyd in this fight. We all know Floyd can last. He has super human stamina. But Mr. Canelo has combos and they look like they get thrown from a very angry place.
Not trolling. Not flaming. Just genuinely curious. I've never seen anyone really put Mayweather in a spot and just unload on him and land meaningful shots. Will his body hold up?

He will spin off the ropes or simply tie him up. Plus, do you see how wide open Canelo is when he throw those bombs??? He will get countered all night. When will people learn that size and power is not the key to beating Floyd. That is why he is taking the fight. The same thing happens with all of Floyd's opponents. They get hyped up and the promotion leads you to believe that they have a serious chance of pulling off the upset. You fall for it and pay your $70 for the ppv just to see the same old act. Floyd once again outboxes and outclasses his opponent. Then you are left saying how boring the fight was because his opponent wasn't skilled enough to make it competitive. It will be the same with Matthyyse. Styles make fights and Floyd understands that these guys are not on his level so that's why he picks them. The 2 guys that will push Floyd to the limit will be Amir Khan and Devon Alexander. Doesn't matter about Khan's chin. They both have great hand speed with serious pop in both hands. They both have the foot speed as well. Its hand and foot speed that gives aging slicksters the most problem. Khan has not been impressive of late, but I still give him the biggest chance in pulling off the upset.
