Will Mayweather-Canelo resemble Hopkins-Pavlik?

[KeepItObjective]

I think Floyd might have juiced for this fight

You mean like Floyd's telegraphed pad work routine? The same routine he has been doing now for 16 years in a row?

Muscle Memory?

Canelo doesn't just plod forward and throw shots just to throw them. He also has much better combination punching, head movement, and speed than Pavlik.

Don't sleep on Canelo. Canelo puts Floyd to sleep.

Also, Canelo's not just a head hunter.

Great assessment about Canelo. But he wont win. Floyd has completely changed his style and customized himself to be able to deal with everything Canelo has. Floyd will not fight him like he did Ghost. Floyd is going to use foot movement to dart in and out, and smother him with his hands. Floyd has something special for Canelo's stamina. He will overwhelm him with combinations, and when he gets tired, Floyd will stand in front of him and as Foyd Sr put it; "Go and Get Em" Canelo will see a Mayweather who is active, and coming off of a fight, and THIS will be Floyd's greatest performance since 2005, when he fought.....

[_original_]

I could see that happening.


I've been watching some of Canelo's fights and for a guy who's labeled as "well schooled" he's pretty wild if frustrated, methodical, and likes to be set to throw. I can see a scenario where Canelo can never "get off" (no ****) and will be a sitting duck. Lucky for him Floyd just doesn't push the pace but I can see him tagging him repeatedly down the stretch and Canelo just never pulling the trigger at the right moment.

Those days are long gone, Floyd doesn't move like he did against Corrales anymore bro..

Seriously..."Owl PayMen", really?

Sounds eerily similar to Al Haymon......created specifically for this fight I surmise, like last week or something.

Naw I've been wanting to sign up on this forum for quite sometime and I thought the play on words would be funny since Owl and Al sound very similar when you verbalize them. I think you are thinking far too deeply into this sir. I figured i'd sign up a week before the fight to engage in discussion with fellow fans of the sport. Am I wrong for doing so?

[Owl PayMen]

Fight will look nothing like that at all.

you mean the fight will be close?

On top of being a sitting duck his bad stamina will make him extra screwed

So sad. If you're gonna make ******ed threads, please show us who you are, so we can all collectively laugh at your dumbass.

Why is the thread ******ed? There are many similarities between the fights. It is not my fault or anyone else's fault if you are failing to see them.
