No, it's a pattern with them.

153 for weigh-in with Austin Trout = healthy, cheeseburger eating Canelo
152 for weigh-in with Floyd Mayweather = WTF is Floyd doing to Saul, he's going to be DRAINED!!!!!!

Full of ****.

Floyd will get countered at some point, but I think he'll absorb it and keep moving. Canelo isn't someone who consistently imposes his power/strength, so if he isn't able to knock Floyd out with one shot or pressure relentlessly, then what option does he really have? Canelo has decent hand-speed, but he isn't fleet-footed so will he even be able to keep up? I assume the game-plan will be to make Floyd the aggressor and try to counter him, and mix some aggression in. If Floyd doesn't get KTFO, he will simply out-point the lesser skilled/talented/experienced fighter.

If floyd wouldn't of held, he probably would've been layed out.

You have to remember that Trout has a completely different style from Floyd. Mayweather is more stationary that Trout and will provide an easier target. Of course Floyd has extremely good reflexes but he will be a smaller opponent than Trout and will not be flicking a jab out there every few seconds.

Canelo will be able to close the distance on Floyd and he has very good combination punching capabilities. Floyd should be able to outpoint him but I don't think this will be an easy fight, it should be tougher than the Cotto fight for Floyd.

If Mosley wasn't shot he probably would have got Floyd out of there. It's all ifs and buts though.

Anybody saying Canelo doesn't have shot to win strictly has a agenda with that opinion. If you want to use the catchweight ok Canelo is still able to rehydrate back up to whatever he wants. He is still the bigger guy now he has to work harder to make weight.

No agenda here...just a good understanding of the sport of Boxing. I'm a big Canelo fan but he is not in Moneys league.......yet.

The "Ginger" era of boxing is about to begin! Hope yall are ready!

Canelo will be to big for Floyd and will eventually catch him. I know many think hes a hypejob and NOW think he doesnt stand a chance but i am not on them.

Sept 14th a new King of our sport will be crowned!

Trout didn't just use his jab, he downright abused that shit. Maybe that's what kept Canelo off him, but I think Floyd will find a better way of dealing with Canelo's spurts of pressure. Floyd has the speed to beat Canelo to the punch and the agility to make him miss. Floyd is a smaller and more elusive target than Trout, so he probably won't have too much problems with making Canelo miss. What will be a challenge is Canelo's low work-rate, will that encourage Floyd to let his hands go or will he remain the consummate counter-puncher? It should be a competitive fight when you take into consideration all the hype that the match-up is receiving, but I'm still not convinced that it will be anything different from what we've already seen. Floyd will be slightly vulnerable during the beginning, he'll establish a rhythm and then outbox Canelo for the victory. I'm sure Canelo will land something at some point, but I don't think he'll land that money punch to disconnect Floyd from his senses.

If Floyd takes him serious, the fight shouldn't be close enough for him to get robbed.

This is inaccurate.
