Even if Canelo beats Floyd.

Lol, I like how no one mentions Martinez.
You are crazy to think that he would beat the LINEAL MW champ which is Sergio Martinez Canelo would eat HARD FLUSH Counter punches all night, and not the ones he will take from Mayweather.

Trust me, I was thinking of Sergio as well, but didn't want to hear the usual, "did you see how Sergio looked in his last fight!?"

But yeah, Sergio is another guy that could beat Canelo, barring any major physical setbacks.

That's a good fight for Canelo that he will win, Martinez is done, especially after seeing that hometown robbery against Murray

What does Sergio do better than Canelo? Is he faster? Nope, better reflexes? Nope, better defence? Nope, more accurate? Nope, he just has better stamina.

[BUNGALOWS]

Yeah, you're right, you've figured it all out...Canelo should just retire now and find a new profession.

Calm down. I'm not saying if he loses, he's a bum. I'm saying, pump the brakes on the "Canelo is the new boxing superstar" talks.

Imagine if he gets caught by Lara and loses by KO/TKO. People will start saying, "ya see, I've always said Lara would beat a guy like Canelo!"

I'm just here to remind you guys that Canelo has other fish to fry, even if he beats Floyd.

Worthy or not he will definitively be the new boxing superstar if he beats Floyd...which he wont. But if he did its a foregone conclusion. He will be perceived as the new Don of boxing. There is no getting around that.

[BUNGALOWS]

You are right, to me he's like Broner, no choice but to lose sooner or later...
And Lara, a rematch against Trout and other guys, I dont see his reign lasting very long.

Exactly. I don't understand this backlash? I'm just pointing out the obvious.

Well, obviously, but losing to Lara in your very next fight, if they go that route, isn't gonna leave a good impression with fans that think you're the new "Don" of boxing.

They'll just say, "yeah, he beat Floyd, but honestly, this dude's really not that great."

Better boxer?? Yes, Better footwork, Slick yes...more power?? as good as Canelo's power is, HELL YES!!

Sergio Martinez by a KO, I'd give Canelo 4-5 rounds...those heavy power punches with a low stamina of Canelo??? = KO For Martinez.

GGG Ko's Canelo as well, Lara Outboxes him

[#YOLO]

Lara CAN beat Canelo, and that's a very realistic possibility. So, Canelo beats Floyd, then loses to Lara, now what? He rematches Lara, and loses again, not good.

GGG's not even a problem, that's a guaranteed ass whooping for GGG.

You're about 3 steps ahead of the current situation, I personally think he moves up unless it's a close fight and rematches at 154 vs Mayweather

[bojangles1987]

If he beats Mayweather and it involves his skill and not just size, then I doubt anyone at 154 would beat him.
