bigger, taller?!?....I mean is that what dudes are banking on in Floyd fights?!?....I mean dudes have given up on the skill issue....its all about being physically superior now huh?.....oh man!!!....dude doesn't look bigger than Floyd...he IS bigger than Floyd, he's stronger as well...but the excuse on Sept 15 will be that Nelo wasn't big or strong enough.....it is what it is!!

In the second photo he kind of looks intimidated by Canelo. He's trying to cover up his fears

No, not really...

Mayweather should win because size alone, at least at 152 is not like at 154, will not be enough. Canelo has youth but at 22 he could have done with 2 years more experience, but then again he may have grown to 160.

Yeah...152 pretty much same as 154(as long as he'll not struggle too much, mind you). ...he'll be turning 23 next month...

You sure it won't be that he's not seasoned enough? Seems like his stamina issue may be another possible "excuse", if there really is an issue with it.

Hoping Canelo will be up to the task and helps to make this a good fight.

Floyd will get exposed, way overrated. Canelo is going to slaughter him. I expect Canelo by stoppage

Why isn't this..."person" banned?

Outside of a big lucky punch that can shake Floyd up Canelo doesn't have much of a chance to win.. Floyd has longer arms, is quicker, more skilled, and has more stamina... this time it seems as if the closer the fight gets the more people realize how this 22 yr old kid Canelo doesn't have much of a chance

The guy is pretty much 23 now. He's young, but is said to be a pretty smart boxer for his age. Also, I think it takes a pretty good fighter to beat Trout(who beat Cotto, don't forget - no easy feat).

Question: Floyds hand wraps are alot thicker than Canelos. Does he do this to protect his fists? Ive never boxed in my life so would getting hit with wraps so thick hurt more or less then for example what Canelo is wearing?

Do you think wraps are more solid than bones?.. Yes, thicker wrapping should soften the blows for Floyd(easier on his hands). Isn't it simple?..

[DigitalBeast]

I thought Canelo would look a bit taller than Floyd in the face off

Saul is only listed at 5'9"...

Canelo probably at least weighs 174 lbs.

Floyd looks like he weighs 137 lbs.

Big size difference, too bad fight doesn't matter much at 152 lbs.










.Floyd could probably still fight at featherweight.

Too early for Canelo to be in his first dog fight or where he for the first time he has to dig deep, for this to happen for the first time against Mayweather is not the right time, even more so when he is being drained. Its easier going up a weight class than having to drain yourself to make weight.

Sad to say but this may go the way of Vargas vs. Trinidad, whatever Floyd is taking his hands are holding up to the punishment.
