You can't say anything because Floyd gave them the ammunition bro. All he had to do was agree to the fight and let it be at 154. Simple! He didn't do that though and being that Ellerbe was on record saying that two pounds is indeed a lot for a fighter to lose, you gotta know there's gonna be serious backlash coming TMT's way.

At this point Canelo looks normal to me. He does not have that sunken look and his energy comes through his eyes which is a good sign. But Floyd still should have let Canelo come in at 154 and then capped his ring entrance weight or same day weight which would have been a better approach to take.Comment

I'm surprised he's this light with a whole week to go and he hasn't even dehydrated yet. He should be ok if he doesn't look like a zombie after the next 5+ lbs-- which I seriously doubt.Comment

I have my reservations about Canelo's stamina. He doesn't strike me as the type who can (or wants to) fight every minute of every round, and if he wants to give himself the best chance of winning, I think he'll have to. However, I think he'll continue to fight like he's been fighting: spurts of pressure/explosiveness and then reverting back to counter-punching. He'll barely land anything flush and will have to go for the KO. Guerrero fell into the trap of trying to counter Floyd and wasn't able to make anything happen. Canelo could probably hurt Floyd with a counter, but he can't count on that.
Essentially, Canelo has a puncher's chance.Last edited by kiaba360; 09-06-2013, 09:39 PM.Comment
