Comments Thread For: Roberto Duran Advises Canelo To Maul Floyd Mayweather

[radioraheem]

The blueprint to beat Floyd has been out for years though, finding someone to do it is another story. Duran is obviously right, but will Canelo be able to stay on top of him? We will see fight night.

There is no blueprint besides luck! Anyone can get lucky.

Other than that, a fighter needs to have very similar boxing skills and a matching high boxing I.Q. If not that, then you need luck. That is the only way.

It's not like no one has ever attempted to maul Floyd and punch him all over (even DLH tried) It's just that everyone who does always ends up getting countered and quickly realize that Floyd punches do have some sting on them, primarily because you don't see them coming.....

Think mang think !! Who has he fought in the past 8 years ?

Old faded fighters who could have done it in their prime but they were too worn

Little fighters, Jr came in bigger than they , they were too small, even Guerrero couldn't do it

but

Canelo is quick enough to hold jr and maul him about , its gonna be left up to the REF. Guys are saying he is not quick enough, they don't know what they are talking about.

It's not Canelo's style to apply constant pressure, this will most likely be a chess match. Canelo needs to pump the jab and mix it up with some lead straight rights and throw the right hook to the body.

I'm glad you're not Canelo's trainer!

Well Duran is a top 5 ATG. I'm sure he knows what Canelo should do.

I can't wait to hear the worst fanbase tell us the ATG is wrong though

Duran isn't wrong, Canelo just can't do it.

Dude is gonna be inactive for most of the round taking pot shots and looking lost.

Yeah you should be his trainer with your great gameplan based on luck...

Great advice. Problem is, that's not Alvarez style. Alvarez, despite his power and somewhat intimidating demeanor, actually prefers to counter-punch.

That, however, will not work in this fight. Floyd Mayweather will own Alvarez if he tries to fight a distance based strategy.

Hopefully, for Alvarez sake, he's been working on an aggressive approach for this fight, because he's got the power and punching variety to make that work.

Alvarez is a ferocious body puncher, and that could be a huge factor if Alvarez cuts off the ring and pushes the action.

If not, it will be a long night for Alvarez and he'll be on the bad side of a lopsided decision.

real talk^^^^^^^^^^^^

Hoya and Hatton combined tried every maul move in the book...if it has one

Duran is a OG so you have to LISTEN....but IMO, you have to have a solid jab in your tool box to beat Floyd....speed and footwork is a must as well....flat feet and slow hands gets you no where with Floyd!!....what's the use of having a big gun and big bullets if you can't hit the target?!?

[twosweethooks]

Easier said than done Mr. No mas! You would TRY to bust Floyd up! I hope Canelo doesn't take a quitters advice.

Mang !!! Floyd JR takes a QUITTERS ADVICE , Trained by a QUITTER , Kin to a QUITTERs , has QUITTERS BLOOD

[twosweethooks]

Cherrypicker is gonna potshot and hold... the Ginger isn't big enough and he is also a counterpunchernot a pressure fighter... only Margarito could probably implement the strategy that Duran is suggesting

GGG mang !!!!!!
