So sayeth the Lord

Floyd'll potshot and run and blame it on a broken hand even tho he has pillows on

Ala the Baldomir fight

[Jago1986]

Honest response from an honest boxer. Floyd's too defensive to be exciting

[GRUSTLER]

Canelo is going to look like a lost puppy in the ring with Mayweather.

[Daddy T]

I think this is probably the most likely scenario - canelo does have a chance but odds are floyd will potshot and run all night on the way to a mildly entertaining UD

..So boring that he had a lot of thought and input about the fight... so boring that everyone is talking about this fight... so boring that him and everyone wants to watch this fight... so boring that him and everyone is going to watch this fight... so boring right?

We shall see, we all thought Mosley-Mayweather would be boring because we thought Mayweather would not exchange, we all thought his fight with Ortiz would be boring, same as the Cotto fight, the problem is his fights becomes boring around the 5/6/7 rounds when it's by then plain obvious that he isn't going to lose here.

A lot of truth here. Once he starts com*****g the numbers and the angles in his head, by the fourth round, he has his opponent dialed in and the right lead is landing with regularity. After that, just sit back and watch the clinic that is about to unfold.

The Racket Squad: All Smoke, No Fire

This contest is simply an apparent outcome seeking an exciting reality.

We know all we need to know regarding the Canelo/Floyd non surprise.

Where Floyd is concerned, there is always smoke but rarely any genuine fire.
He has staked a well-crafted claim based upon the notion of perfection.
The human condition demands that this concept of unblemished superiority be altered and smacked into submission.
Given the fact that Mexican fighters engage with more willingness than most, the stage is set for the 'potential' of true danger.

But reality is often neglected for the possibility of a more profitable fantasy.

Austin Trout delivered the message that Alvarez can fight but still lacks a passion and some stamina when facing a gifted, mobile prize fighter.
Saul won in a less than stellar outing.

Money would have to fall apart at the bill fold on Sept. 14 for Canelo to offer anything other than what we have already seen.

P.T. Barnum was so very right.
There is a sucker born every minute and that's why the PPV fee of 75 hard earned bucks will not sway the hard core nor curious.

the fight will not be that spectacular as some expect it to be. It think it will be boring and lackluster.

I think this guy might become my idol. Very matter of fact, very honest, say it like it is. Canelo has a puncher's chance only if Floyd decides to pull an Anderson Silva.
