size matters.... Floyd's gonna find out....

[J The UnBiased]

Floyd hasn't stopped dancing and using his legs since May 5th, Canelo is in for a long night of following, and when he gasses, you'll see a 175 pounder backing up.

When has Canelo ever weighed 175 pounds?

[keepemup]

This is the only reason people wanted to see this fight. They didn't believe in Canelo's skill, they saw how Big he was and said hey "Floyd couldn't possibly beat a kid that big". I unquestionably believe that Floyd will win, but this is boxing and anything can happen. If Floyd loses, it will probably be because he was too small.

No. If Floyd loses it will be because Canelo is better. No excuses.

He was 171 on fight night against Trout...or Lopez, can't remember which.

TommyGun; I'm not saying that the two pounds means a damn thing if they know they can make it! If they don't its on them thats all! In no way do I think 2 pounds has a damn thing to do with the out come!
Don't read anything into posts, I was very clear about the size differences and if a 154 champ can't shave 2 crummy pounds for millions of dollars he's a jerk!

No excuses here, could care less who wins if I watch I want it to be good!!

all this conjecture about floyd using his feet is pointless....

cos the evidence we have of floyd at 154....

suggests he won't move as much or as well....

his performances vs. delahoya and cotto are amongst his worst....


and i repeat they're still 'naturally' smaller than canelo....


added to that canelo's quicker than cotto, and cotto landed a lot....

canelo's gonna be more crafty than delahoya..... and delahoya still managed to back floyd up and make him uncomfortable...

[boxingfeind]

just like delahoya did against felix sturm and bernard hopkins.....

just like shane mosley found out against winky wright.....

when a guys 'naturally' bigger.... they can physically bully you and skills aren't enough....

i don't think he'll get knocked out....

but delahoya physically out muscled floyd at 154 as did cotto....

and that was an old delahoya and a shot cotto.... not saying either of them won....

but canelo's a genuine 154 lber which cotto and delahoya were not....

floyd's gonna take a lot of punishment and i think canelo will win a close decision.

Delahoya and Ortiz was much bigger then Floyd and we all seen the outcome of that fight.While size does matter,other factors can overcome size advantage such as speed and skills which is what Mayweather had in his fights with Ortiz and Oscar fights.

[boxingfeind]

I think Floyd knows the size is an issue thats why he had the catchweight he knows unlike Oscar and Cotto who were basically former lower weight fighters who were at the tail end of their career at 154, Canelo is a serious threat.

Even Pacquiao said jr middle was too big for him and it was at a catchweight with Margo weighing just shy of 170 while Pac was like 145, that Margarito fight left him in the bed for days and he could barely get up

Floyd will need to be in is top form and his feet and stamina have to be supreme here he needs to stick and move and throw careful pot shots and bore the hell out of us like he did with Baldomir if he tries to go for a combo and leaves himself open too long while trying to land the final punch of his combo Canelo could throw his sneaky fast punch on Floyds chin and put him down.

Floyds banking on Canelo's stamina issue similar to how he knew Zab Judaah would lose focus after the 4th round and basically lower his punch out put. Floyd better hope Canelo gasses out or else he is screwed because Canelo can crack.

Oscar was a lot faster and had more stamina then Canelo when he fought Floyd.Oscar was coming off of a win over Mayorga when Floyd fought Oscar.And after the Floyd fight, Oscar went on to beat former champion Steve Forbes in a twelve round decision where Oscar was very busy in that fight.

And Cotto has more stamina then Canelo and was coming off of 3 wins when Floyd fought Cotto.Neither Oscar or Floyd weighed as much as Canelo at junior middleweight.And Canelo started his career at welterweight,and Oscar was a big junior lightweight,lightweight and junior middleweight. Nobody knows who asked for 152,each side have their own stories.Canelo could have said "i`ll be willing to come down to 152 to make the fight and Floyd probably said ok"You want to do it at 152 ok".Who knows what happened.


Floyd made Zab fold in that fight after he adapted to Zab style.Margarito came in at 165 for the Pacquiao fight.

[Spray_resistant]

Floyd will win easily, Canelo doesn't relentlessly pressure or push a pace that would in anyway impose his size on Floyd.

He will try and box, be picked apart all night not knowing what to do in the confusion.

Floyd don`t fight the same way in every fight.Did Floyd move around the ring against Ortiz and Zab?No and those fights took place at welterweight.Did Floyd move around the ring in the Angel Manfreddy and Arturro Gatti fights?No, and those fights took place below welterweight.
