Comments Thread For: Arum: Canelo, Not Much of a Chance To Beat Mayweather

[John Crown]

Good thing neither Mayweather or Canelo is with TR or we would never watch this fight. Arum would let it marinate until Floyd retired.

Even though he's probably right, u know if Canelo was under top rank, arum would be talking like as if Canelo is the next ATG.

Oscar says Canelo is the next him or next Chavez. Arum's a promoter, of course he's gonna fill the media's ears with **** they wanna hear just like Oscar and any other promoters when biggin up their fighters. You expect Arum to be like, "Meh...Canelo will get ****ed up by Floyd, but I still think he's a great fighter for our stable"

Mayweather by decision or late stoppage (11th) round.

Power = Canelo
Youth = Canelo
Speed = Mayweather Ring Smart = Mayweather
Stamina = Mayweather
The only reason I give Mayweather the fight is because Canelo seems to loose stamina in the later rounds and that is when Mayweather will take advantage.
Canelo has quite a few options but the main one he has I believe is for him to just go straight at Mayweather and do a Castillo style onslaught. He is bigger and stronger and has big power in his hands that he can punch Mayweather as soon as they come into close quarters. If he can do this for the first 6 rounds and feel comfortable that he won those rounds then he can wait for Mayweather to come to him as Mayweather will be forced to fight Canelo and that is when Canelo can do a Marquez style Pacqayoed on Mayweather as he will be coming towards Canelo.
The number 1 and 2 main enemies of Canelo are stamina and that he tends to think too much instead of throwing more in the fights I've seen of him. If he can better this two problems then Mayweather's O will defintely GO!

Those are the main reasons I'm picking Floyd as well. If Canelo had the stamina, IMO I don't think Floyd would take the fight. But being as a lot of us saw Canelo gas mid fight, I can see the 1st few rounds looking , but by rounds 7 and 8 it'll be Canelo gassing trying to land on Floyd. I don't expect a KO because I don't think Floyd's gonna take the chance if he doesn't need to.

That's it for you? I like Canelo, I would have liked his chance a lot more had Mayweather not shown he can still move like that against Guerrero, but Canelo's mobility; foot speed is equally as problematic for him as his stamina.

[TOBYLEE1]

The Canelo camp is relying in youth and power alongside with a natural bigger side to beat Floyd.

If Floyd gets by the first 3 rounds it will be business as usual

[Tuavale]

Mr. "I was lying yesterday, but telling the truth today" is lying again. He just hates GoldenBoy more than Mayweather. Plus he is hoping that Mayweather will fight one his guys.

Well since arum is one big fat snake, what he really is saying is that Canelo will proberly beat floyd.

If he would have said he has a good shot at winnig, you would know that he has zero chance og winnig.

[Doctor_Tenma]

Also, I'm not counting on Canelo to tire out like he did against Trout, I think he knows what he has in front of him and will come prepared. If I were Canelo's trainer I would advise him not to throw with too much commitment, look to touch Floyd if need be. I think much like Jermain Taylor this is also part of Canelo's stamina issues.

I think Canelo's biggest problem is his lack of hand speed. He only throws on punch at a time and he ****s his arm before he throws. Floyd will jab him before he throws. Floyd also will wait until Canelo throws and then counter him all night. It wouldn't surprise me if Floyd hits at will and they stop the fight around round 9.
