    Pac vs Canelo

    Let me say I don't think I've ever changed my mind on a fights result so drastically as this one. December, last year in the weeks leading up to MP vs JMM4, had you asked me who would win this fight I'd have picked Pacquiao to completely destroy Canelo. Now less than a year on Canelo has beaten Trout( In a close fight) and I think he'd be the one doing the destroying.

    Granted Pac feet and hands are quicker than Trouts. And he has a better punch but Trout is very rangy and very good at using it. IMO Canelo is too accurate and hits too hard for Pac to win, but itd be one of the more exciting fights in the sport.

    P.S I have the utmost respect for Canelo's trainer. Every fight you see the improvements. I've watched him grow from the fighter who was lucky matthew hatton didn't hit hard as he was getting hit so often and clean to a fighter bobbing weaving and making Trout look silly. His combinations and speed have improved leaps and bounds. I'll be looking for improvements in his footwork against Floyd

    Pacquaio wins.

    Canelo is nothing special, lacks stamina, his power is largely overrated, he couldn't knock down Mosley but Manny could. His bob and weave vs Trout gassed him, and only worked because Trout throws 5000 jabs a round, so it's easy to avoid since they are thrown with no power.

    Assuming the fight takes place at 147.

      Why would it take place at 147? 152 the same as Floyd. I expect Canelo to fix his stamina issues. Manny doesn't have Mosley's chin. If you think Canelo hasn't improved since Mosley your a hater. which to be fair im not all that fond of Canelo either. He still owes Lara a fight IMO. But he takes this. If Marquez can hurt Pacquiao Imagine what one of those uppercuts of Canelos catching Manny would do.

        Manny outworks Canelo and stops him.

                Manny too small, Canelo too big, too good of a boxer.

                Canelo by KO, maybe 5-7th round. Manny eats big punches all night long.

                  Canelo too big and strong for pac.

                  Maybe a few years ago pac had a chance, but right now, Canelo would win by UD or KO.

                    No1 seen Pacquiao get Knocked out at welterweight b4, so every1 thought he had a granite chin, and he'll never get KO'ed. truth is he can, Anyone from lightweight and up has a chance of doing it if they can punch. His chins been exposed.
