    Let's put it this way. Floyd is favored against Canelo or Cotto. He's not favored against GGG.

    Agree?
    1st off you cant tell alot from a pic. 2nd, no matter what you say about size, most still consider Canelo a Jr. MW and GGG a MW. Its his 1st division. Canelo had a fight at 152 pounds. Thats a huge difference. Even then, I think Trout is better than anyone GGG has faced.

    I just totally disagree with you that most think that size has nothing to do with GGG being more favored over Floyd than Canelo. I mean, we have pics where Ghost looked bigger than Kirkland but no one believes that he really is natrually as big or strong as Kirkland

      What does my avatar have anything to do with it? I still have Donaire as my sig, SO? I don't jump ship as soon as a fighter loses or looks bad.

      I can also be a fan of both GGG, and Sergio. "Fans" of boxing should take this approach more often.

        Use the "not worth the risk" excuse.
        so you're not saying it but you are?

          I can't wait to hear what Merchant will say if/after Floyd wins in September.

            Reading comprehension. I already said GGG and Canelo are too big. What I also said was, Canelo is just, too big. GGG is too big and skilled. Get it now?

            Floyd is favored over Canelo, based on the fact that Floyd's skills >>>>>>>>> Canelo's size. Floyd wouldn't be favored over GGG.

            Agree?

              P4P Mayweather would beat him though. Golo is too big, and so is Canelo.

                to be honest I'll let floyd off the hook on this one, everybody, even floyd's fanboys know GGG would obliterate him.

                  I'm not "hating" on Floyd. I just think it's funny that Canelo's a good fight, even though he's too big, but GGG is out of the question, because he's too big AND skilled.

                  That's the part I'm emphasizing. It's not the fact that he's too big, otherwise Floyd would have never taken the fight with Canelo. It's the fact that GGG has the size, skills, and STYLE to beat Floyd.

                  Fighting Canelo is basically just fighting a bigger boxer. Fighting GGG is fighting a bigger PRESSURE fighter with DYNAMITE in his hands.

                    No I dont agree because your whole premise is that everyone sees GGG & Canelo as exactly the same size & strength when that isnt true at all. Most think they are 2 different divisions until proven otherwise. Still, when someone proves something at a higher weight then its not the same.

                    G has won his fights in dominant fashion at MW. Canelo hasnt so stop acting like they are in the same division doing the same stuff. Then you can say its just about skill and not about size/ strength also

                      Floyd also wouldn't be favored against Ward or Wlad if we are throwing names out that you agree are to big for him
