    How many of you think Floyd/Canelo will end like Silva/Wiedman

    No doubt people will be making comparisons of the two.

    The question is, what makes you think that?

    Floyd vs Canelo isn't so much a style nightmare like Silva/Wiedman was.

    Canelo got the youth on Floyd.... that's pretty much the only comparison

      Sorry it won't. Silva loves Ali, and he's not Ali. Had Silva of based his fighting off Floyd, that right hand would of stayed glued to his face and he wouldn't of gotten hit flush.

      Floyd will have a relatively easy time with Canelo beginning in the later rounds. Clear decision victory for Floyd.

      Unless not getting hit by pitter pat punches from Trout translates to avoiding some of the best lead left hooks and right hands with a piercing body jab from one of the most skilled fighters to lace em up then I really don't know how Canelo is going to win.

          I hope it does.

          But I'm a bit worried Canelo will be affected (weight-drained) by the catch weight.

          Mayweather should have been a man for once and fought him at 154. But Floyd is no warrior.

            Man Silva is a fool, but Man first Manny Pacquiao gets knocked out, than Silva? could Mayweather be the next top guy to be put out?

            The weird thing is Steven Segal was in Pacquiaos corner for his fight with JMM and Silva had Segal for this fight lol, Maybe Segal should visit Floyd next?

            If you look at that showboating Floyd never does that with his hands down, only thing similar is Floyd pulls back from punches his famous pull counter, if Canelo can land one right when Floyd pulls his head back like Silva did against Wiedman than he has a shot, other than that Canelo really has no shot especially with his stamina issue and flat footed style.

              Silvia didn't depend on draining his opponent to fight him. So it's not going to happen. Canelo will be tired by the 3rd/4th round for trying to cut weight and people are going to call that a "masterpiece" by Mayweather.

                  Floyd would never have his hands down to his waist, in puncher's range and showboat, that isn't Floyd.

                    Let's not forget it was Silva's footwork, not body movement, that put him in just the right spot for a sweeping left hook.

                    I think Pacquiao has shown better footwork on occasion..
