    It's going to be the same schooling as Guerrero, you just wait and see, Sr is right it's going to be another boxing clinic and Canelo is going to gas.

      Lmao...at all the blowout predictions..if you've watched boxing long enough you know in any round, any second, anything can happen. What if one hurts their ankle, breaks a hand, gets their nose smashed up in a headbutt moment? Predictions to me are ridiculous for that same factor...there are many intangibles in boxing..folks get so used to the same names winning they never leave room for the "If's" of boxing and not only that you cheapen any boxers success in a bout by virtually calling his opponent a no-hoper.

        Well it's boxing or any sport for that matter, most enjoy making predictions. It's fun but like you said anything can happen in sport.

        It's no knock on the opponent(s) when they're not given a chance it's just a pre-conceived notion that the one in this case Floyd is that good.

        I enjoy predictions, no different to Floyd putting money on a team to win, anything can happen.

        Time and time again, Floyd has/is proven, Canelo is good but I don't think he's good enough to beat Floyd at this point in time.

          Floyd will win this but I dont think it is gonna be that one sided. I saw Cotto giving Floyd some problems and that was like two years ago. I think its only safe to bet that his reaction time may have slowed down even more since then and I can see Alvarez giving him problems as well. But at the end of the day, Floyd still takes this one easily.

                I was gonna respond to turnedep post until I read yours. You are exactly right. Anything can happen. One timely punch can end the fight for Floyd, but if that doesn't happen, Canelo is nowhere close to Floyd's level. In my opinion, he was handed a gift against Trout, his toughest fight to date, and people are making him out to be a world class fighter. I see a wide gap just like the Floyd/Marquez fight.

                  It's nice to hear Floyd SR., making such comments. It reminds me on how he mocked Pacman, before he fights Hatton whom Floyd Sr trained.

                    Predictions are based on precedent events, "fundamental analysis", and probability.
                    Randomness, chance, "luck"/"bad luck", "the unprecedented", "the unforeseen" are likely to occur in "future events".

                      Floyd is gonna try to fight just like he did with Guerrero. He doesn't have the ballz to fight Canelo like he had to fight Cotto. That's why daddy is in camp after Cotto.... teaching his boy to stay on the bike and run, so to finish out that Showtime contract and bank $200M. He's gonna get caught this time with Canelo, and they won't have an answer when he gets badly hurt and Canelo smells blood. He'll be trying to hug, mug and hold on to Canelo to stay alive. Gonna be a real test of character in Floyd when he takes a real beating and nothing he can do about it. This is no ordinary 23 year old kid with little experience you are betting on, and betting he gets tired. Canelo already knows that what your camp think of him.... he's prepared, and you're gonna get a front row seat. Roy Jones once upon a time, hand picked the wrong guy named Antonio Tarver, and got stone cold knocked out. Floyd is about to get his hand picked, 'guessed wrong' fight. Then he, Sr & Uncle Roger can eat sh** for the way they hand picked, manufactured this fluffed up record & career of their gravy train.
                      Well I guess we know what your excuses will be when Floyd's win he didn't fight him like cotto I believe Roy jones beat tarver the first fight so how do you hand pick a guy in a rematch
