Does anyone really think Canelo has a chance?

    You've been spouting the same misinformation about Mayweather opponents since 2010, kinda funny, yet sad.
    While I'm putting out facts your trying to make it personal to deviate from the topic... Check the records, take a look at the timelines. Like I said, May is the best talent P4P but besides Castillo he's never faced a fighter in his prime, without an advantage or on his terms.

    Name one one fighter besides Castillo that Floyd faced without having an advantage?

      Thats the thing about posters like you. Even if Floyd got a Tszyu fight, you'd be degrading it, since Tszyu was injured for 3 years

          He's also slower, flat footed, and less experienced. I wouldn't say he's hungrier than Floyd either. Floyd will adapt to his speed and combination rythym easily, and will keep stay away from him if he tries to plant and throw, it will be a good fight, like Cotto made it a good fight, but Canelito will lose. His chance is a punchers chance like in any boxing match, not much more.

            You're still avoiding my question and making it personal. And the Tszyu fight didn't occur.

            Name me one fighter besides Castillo that Floyd faced without having an advantage?

            Point is... You can't answer the question. The facts speak for themselves.

              You can do this with literally every fighter in the history of boxing besides maybe Holyfield.

                I would accept that every fighter in some way or another has been carefully matched. I mean it would be unreasonable if it were otherwise but there are champions and there are champions.

                Let's take Andre Ward for example, this guy has demonstrated to be a champion that takes risks without looking to have an advantage besides Dawson but I'd would say it was Dawson's fault.

                Other fighters who take risks are Martinez, Marquez, Bradley, Matthysse, Donaire (who paid the price) and even Pacquaio before he started to get the TR DIVA treatment.

                Unfortunately I can't say the same for Floyd even if I consider him the most talented fighter of his time.

                  of course... what people don't understand... is he can BOX... also, alot of people try and say that he faded in that Trout fight....

                  he fought a bit more safe... and outboxed Trout from the open round scoring after the 6... when you're up... you fight to win.. who wouldn't do that?

                  this is a rare fight to where I toss a coin...( however.. if I'm betting... Mayweather...LOL)

                      Before the fight.....Floyd better fight Canelo.

                      Once it's signed.....Canelo is still a hype job and too green.

                      Gotta love boxing fans.
