    Mayweather doesn't go for the knockout anymore, even when his opponent is hurt.

    Its not happening. And thread starter, relax, its just someone's opinion.

      Easy,if you see Alvarez aggression being used against him..Which I see happening tbh..I really believe Alvarez will leave it in the ring(unlike Guerrero)he will be more open for counters..I could see this fight being stopped in the 10th or 11th..

          Let me say this, there is no way in hell Mayweather is getting a knockout. It will be the other way around. I'm 100% sure. I'm bumping this thread tomorrow for all the fools who fell for the Mayweather hype. All that cherrypicking is going to catch-up with him tomorrow.

          Good luck brah!
          People think Canelo will tire out and get beaten up in rounds 9-12. A lot of people swore that Canelo wouldn't be able to make 152 and would just come in at 154 and pay the fine too, lol. He came in right on point and that's step one to shutting up the haters. Step two is going into the ring with 0 respect for Floyd and beating him like a punching bag......Got a feeling Canelo is going to beat Floyd around the ring like a rag doll.

          Canelo can drop Floyd with a single shot, Floyd will have to land a bunch on Canelo to take him down and I don't see Canelo letting him tee off on him.

            I'm gonna have a cheeky bet on it. Canelo looked like a zombie at the weigh-in yesterday

              IMO, point spread the safest route. Covers a decision win (10 points or more) or KO.
              I think the KO prop is still +600's or more.

                Floyd's power is decent. He doesnt usually load up on shots. But its his timing and accuracy which hurts his opponents.

                A tired Canelo could become a sitting duck late in the fight. Frustrated, tired, gassed, ...could get hurt, maybe even stopped.

                  I honestly think Canelo might get pulled out due to cuts and/or swelling if he hasn't improved his stamina.

                    LOLOLOL, that was like three years ago, Canelo is way better than that now and that was the only time people can use to say Canelo can't take a shot.....he won that fight by TKO as well, lol.

                      His power is definitely underrated, he practically hurts all of his opponents at one point at least during the fights. But he won't risk going for the knockout.

                      You guys think if he has Alvarez hurt, he'll go in for the kill? No, he'll just see that he's got the fight in the bag and cruise the last few rounds.
