I just looked at the Trout Canelo fight again.. And i just dont see how Canelo is going to win.. He fights in spurts, takes rounds off.. Has a mediocre jab at best.. Hes predictable and mechanical and has basic speed/ borderline slow..

I see Floyd keeping the fight in the outside and doing what he always does. Pot shot, stomach jab and being elusive after he throws..

I think Canelo is too slow to do anything about it..

Cotto and Oscar gave Floyd fits because they both had grade A jabs, canelo doesnt have that.. I see canelo being gasses and frustrated by round 7..

But what the hell do I know. Im giving an honest opinion.. If this fight happened before Floyd vs Cotto and trout vs canelo, i would have given Canelo a much better chance. Because like everyone else, i thought floyd lost his legs.. But after the Ghost fight, that obviously isnt the case.. I think Floyd Sr has him being less aggressive and more defensive which is bad news for Canelo.. Less opening for him

If Mayweather fights Canelo like he fought Cotto, he's going to sleep. However, that won't happen.

I think Canelo's body work gives him a decent chance at wearing down Floyd. And Canelo has better than average hand speed (very underrated handspeed, in fact).

Obviously Canelo is not going to out box Floyd. His best chance is to stay busy and counterpunch in spurts. I think it's gonna be a great fight. I can't pick a winner, but with a gun to my head, I'd say Floyd by decision.

Canelo's going to look like a confused drunkard on Sept 14.

I really dont see him winning to be honest, I dont think his strengths or his style match up well with Mayweather, so unless FMjr has aged over night i expect him to take a clear UD.

But for Canelo to win imo he needs to tweek his style slightly and do a ****load of training for stamina. He is going to have the sizeadvantage on fight night so i do think intelligent pressure is right game plan. Trying to outbox Mayweather from the outside is a no go imo. He needs to use feints, headmovement and a strong jab to try work his way inside and try let off those big powerful combo's he loves to body and head. Problem he has is that is a style we havent really seen him use before, and against a Mayweather who seems to have his movement back it's going to require crazy amounts of stamina to pull off. He will also take punishment no matter what, to body and head, so he needs to hope his size advantage negates that somewhat.

If he trys to box cautious like he did in the Trout fight i think it will be a very long night for him!

Counter evertime Floyd throws a shot. Whether you miss or not, throw as soon as Floyd throws.

Intelligent pressure. Regardless of how well Floyd moves and boxes, he ALWAYS has a tendency to get trapped on the ropes. Floyd isn't a big guy like Trout, Canelo will have the strength advantage. Trap him, use dirty tricks, whatever. Make him uncomfortable and rip shots to the body when he's against the ropes.

Speed is key. Canelo is a quicker counter puncher and offensive puncher than Cotto. That's gonna play a major role. Like I said earlier, punch with Floyd, set traps. Let him throw more than 1 shot.

If he does his usual right hand lead and duck, parry or slip the shot, and immediately get in his chest. Being the bigger guy, Canelo should have success with this.

Don't chase or try too hard to cut the ring off. Counter/punch with him, when Floyd backs up, immediate rush.
