    He also suffers from hand problems but you are right he doesn't base his style around the knockout, but to control, something that JMM use to do but now opt to destroy.

      I think he probably would be. What if Canelo knocked Floyd out. Would he take Mayweather's place as the #1 PFP fighter in the world? How would Floyd handle being knocked out cold? He could use some humility.

        The truth? You can't handle the truth!





        Floyd is no monster. When was the last time he KOed someone? Knocked down someone? Please don't point me to the Ortiz SUCKER PUNCH.

        Secondly, how is Canelo going to beat that guy you call a monster?

          no catchweight

          I hate when people keep on saying that Floyd is fighting canelo at a catchweight. He's not. Canelo can come into the ring at whatever he wants or at least he will be at around 170. Does that really sound like a catchweight? people are already trying to discredit floyd's win. People are crying about 2 lbs that canelo has to come down but I haven't heard anyone cry abouyt that 20- 25 lb disadvantage Floyd will be at fight night proving once again that Floyd is always in a no win situation.

            Considering Floyd has only 3 KO's in 8 years (Mitchell, Hatton, Ortiz) and Canelo being a legit 154lber, and Floyd not having the healthiest of hands...I'd only come to one conclusion...

              No, they will say that Canelo was too green, in-experienced, not good it the first place, a hype job, chinny, was not ready for Floyd, etc.

                Yes - If it happened at 154, not 152.

                  I'm surprised no one said NO BECAUSE:

                  A monster would have at least knocked out Guerrero, Cotto, Ortiz (legitimately) and others. Getting a random knock out on Canelo after not being able to knock out those other guys won't make you a monster but lucky instead in my opinion. To be a monster you need to do what you do regularly not a one time thing.

                    remi, it sure as hell is a catch weight. If the fight was at a top weight of 154 pounds, the weight Jr. middleweight world title fights are supposed to be fought at then it would not be a catchweight. Floyd is the defending WBA 154 pound world super champion in case you forgot or did not know that fact. Mayweather is making his challenger weigh in no heavier than 152 pounds and that is a catchweight. Maybe Floyd is starting a new weight class of 152 pounds he could call the Jr. Jr. middleweight devision. Do you believe Canelo can put on 20 pounds of weight in the 30 hours between the weigh in and the fight without doing himself harm? I would guess a gain of anything over 10 pounds would do Canelo more harm than good. Canelo will not out weigh Mayweather by 25 pounds in the ring. He might have a 10 or 12 pound weight advantage tops. Until Mayweather weighs in on fight night nobody knows what he really weighs in the ring. He said he weighed 150 pounds the night he fought Cotto even though he weighed in at 151 for Cotto. I don't believe that. Who loses a pound between the weigh in and the fight? Floyd is in a no win situation? Poor Floyd. He gets at least 32 million a fight. If Floyd feels he is too small to let a full sized Jr middleweight like Canelo weigh in at 154 pounds then he should vacate his 154 pound world title and fight welterweights.

                      Floyd fans will say anything to protect their hero Floyd ........ the answer is YES it is a CW!
