Why are people saying Canelo is the biggest strongest Floyd has faced?

    The punch that DLH landed on Mayorga was a perfect punch. Just like Garcia landed on Khan.

    What does Canelo not being able to KO Trout even have to do with anything? Your name is BoxingGenius but you don't even know that styles make fights. It is very difficult to look good vs someone like Trout. And Trout is obviously a more technical boxer than Mayorga is. HE doesn't get hit as much.

    Stop trolling
    And you telling me that trout is a better boxer than Floyd if trout makes people look bad how do u think Canelo is gonna look against Floyd ?

      Canelo is just turned 23 & is really a middleweight.

      I think Floyd will win but Canelo is the biggest, strongest fighter he's yet to face.
      this... this is the toughest fight Floyd has ever taken on .. I just hope he comes out ok... it seems all the great fighters gives themsleves harder and harder challenges with age

        Anyway, so let me get this straight. You're telling me that even though Floyd fought a part time Oscar and a near shot Cotto at 154. He needs a catchweight to fight the lesser Canelo there because he looks like crap against the better fighters huh?? That's some weird reasoning bro.
        If Cotto was "near shot" then why did you ask Mayweather to fight him prior to that fight being signed and why did you give Trout so much credit for beating an even closer to shot verison of him?

          I fully agree with this TS. Canelo is not that big.
          He's thick, but not big. Don't even know why Floyd
          asked for a catchweight in this fight.

            never said that Trout was a better boxer than Mayweather. He was trying to downgrade Canelo's win over TRout because he didn't look dominating. I was only saying that its hard to look good vs Trout.

            And Trout and Mayweather have completely different styles.

                ummmmm I wasn't downgrading the win; I was talking about punching power. You then said how it's hard to KO someone like Trout and how Trout's style was different than Mayorga's. Which it is, I was just speaking about DLH's power when it lands on the chin similar to how Canelo's landed on Trouts chin.

                Again, I never downgraded the win, I was solely touching on power which is one of the points of the thread. DLH KO'ing a roided Vargas adds to my point.

                Canelo hasn't fought anyone, outside of Trout, that can help us gauge this heavy power that you guys speak of. Unless we're talking about Josesito Lopez

                  Do you work for golden boy? Trying to hype up this fight? Floyd is going to gatti him, quote me on that.
