      a hype job all around. Did he beat Trout? ...barely!

      Did Trout beat Cotto.....yes, but Cotto did not had a plan, nor the right camp.

      Canelo is the one who is WAY overated! He is getting schooled and stopped by Floyd. TKO <10.

        Handspeed? Power? Head movement?

          When was Floyd's last legit KO? 6 years ago? When has Floyd ever looked impressive at 154? His bout against shot De La Hoya was a draw imo and he was roughed up against shot Cotto who Trout demolished... Canelo has the second highest hit to not get hit ratio in boxing and will have at least 15 pounds on Floyd. What makes you think he can knock him out?

              Exactly man. I can agree with some that he hasn't faced the same caliber opposition that Mayweather has but you can't convince me that the kid isn't extremely skilled. I sat back laughing at people saying that Trout was going to just go out there and KO Canelo with ease.

              I knew Canelo would win but I too was impressed with his head movement and defense. He is a very complete boxer who is still learning and improving. Trout is a very good fighter as well and he became wary of Canelo's speed and power.

              I was impressed with him the first time I saw him fighting some can down in Mexico but his combinations were so good for a kid of 19 years old. He had everyone yelling and screaming and he whooped up on that dude.

                Canelo is a beast man.....people are still sleeping on him but he is going to push Floyd to the limits, I think Floyd realizes this too.

                  I never said he was getting "knocked out". I said TKO'd. That means fight stopped on: cuts, overall punishment...etc.

                  I believe that Floyd wins via TKO < 10.

                    I find it funny how everyone is discrediting Trouts win over Cotto at 154, when Floyd fought Cotto at 154 and didn't look as good as Trout..

                    Canelo vs Mayweather. a JMW fight.

                      He had those, but again it wasn't impressive to me.
