Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Confident Canelo Will End Mayweather's Run

[boxingfan4life]

Floyd is done... Floyd doesn't hurt anyone in the ring, unless you drop your hands, step back out of a break, and look to the referee so you can get sucker punched. Other than that, he doesn't hurt anyone, ran from Guerrero, took a beating from Cotto, nearly knocked out in 2 rounds by a 40 year old Shane Mosley... this is the end of the road and it just as well be Floyd's biggest payday... because he could have had $75M guaranteed to fight Pacquiao, and he balked at the idea; Manny was too dangerous in his prime. So now Floyd chose to take the most money out there, and it's his last hurrah. Don't have to like Canelo, but he's too big, too strong, too fit, knock out power in both hands, and when Floyd gets hit, he will stay hit. This thing is over now.

Your points mean very little given Floyd still won those fights. And how many times has Floyd been in the ring with bigger and stronger punchers? At the end of the day skills is what wins fights and Floyd still posseses those skills to win. I don't think the fight will be a walk in the park for Floyd, but I think he can pull off the victory mainly due to his superior ring IQ. Even though he "ran" from Guerrero he still outlanded him and received little punishment. Isn't that what you're supposed to do in boxing? I see him doing no different against Canelo given he is very flat footed and gases out towards the end of his fights. We shall see.

Fll0m0ez: that's rediculous, people doesnt pay to see Floyd lose. Floyd just have a lot of fans.

I think Canelo's power is being a little overrated. Who has he knocked out that's class?

[MDPopescu]

If you believe that Floyd Jr will gonna win the fight easily, and Canelo has no chance at all, then who's gonna watch the fight? Give Canelo a chance to show his Boxing talent, after all he's undefeated also.

I just did... At #22

To be honest, Mr. Santos Saúl Álvarez Barragán (aka El Canelo) does possess some solid boxing incentives for this fight. Plus he's cool-headed and patient, and he can box from his back foot... He could try to somehow lure Floyd into his powerful left hand punches... That's all he could try.

Mayweather in for a surprise as a long time Mayweather fan, I got to say Mayweather came alot out of character in this fight. He pretty much validated all of Pacquaios wins with him begging Canelo for a catchweight,if he wins he gave the nay sayers their out with the catchweight all the Canelo fans and those who hate Mayweather will say "Canelo was drained" etc. So even if he wins no one will respect him for the win outside of those who already respect him blindly.

To the contrary I think Mayweather is trying hard to be Oscar.

Wonder what the HATER's will be saying after 14 Sept when Floyd shuts down Oscar's rooster. Calling a guy a farm animal is just as bad as calling a black man a *****. But hey, I'll get the grill ready since the rooster can be smoked using my special herbs & ****es. Not going to eat it though, I'm having it delivered to Oscar with a straight right hand from Floyd still in it's mouth........

You sure you're not a Mayweather hater claiming to be a fan? Seems like you have to much animosity to be fan if you ask me.

Weak Minds

floyd haters bet based out of their hatred towards a fighter that has nothing to them lol. i dont understand how a boxer that they have never met before has the ability to get inside their head and completely take over their emotions.

Those who hate Floyd for what he says just have weak minds. They remind me of cop's who are quick to get pissed when you question their reasons for pulling you over or something else ****** they do. Weak minds are everywhere when it comes to the hatred of Floyd. None of these people heard the words the man spoke when he says it time & time again that Money is a character he plays to get people to watch. None of them hear those words, they just go from hearing Floyd say something to straight up hating. I'm going to enjoy the fight because it will be a solid test for Floyd the first 2-3rds. I'm probably going to have white knuckles hoping Floyd doesn't make a mistake where the kid can get one of those bombs in on him. We all know the kid is strong, fast & big, but none of his opponents have yet to test that chin like I feel Floyd will around the 3rd or 4th rd. Once Canelo gets that chin tapped a few times we'll see if he bit off more then he can chew or Oscar can snort.......

[The Big Dunn]

Now how would Oscar sound had he made this statement instead?:


"You know, everyone knows Floyd is the best right now. And he beat me fair and square when we fought. I just don't see how Canelo can beat Floyd except to make it dirty. So, I think Canelo could lose if he doesn't box Floyd, Floyd buckled my knees in an exchange as he did with Cotto. If Canelo's not careful, Floyd can buckle his knees too and possibly send him to the canvas."


.

or if he said " **** you guys floyds gonna win but I am gonna make a ****load of money off this fight. I also have one judge in my pocket so Canelo will get an SD just like me and we will set up a rematch."

[Bigg Rigg]

should be exciting the first few rounds then it will get boring as canelo slows down and takes a beating

Please get rid of that Sig bro. It's embarrassing.
