Comments Thread For: Canelo-Pacquiao? Oscar Says Alvarez Wants Manny

[batista84]

are you even a real boxing fan or are just another ornament dangling off of floyd's nuuts... don't answer... because most of us here already knows... fact of the matter is pacquiao's style would be all wrong for canelo. he's slow, flat footed and don't have much in the gas tank. having any one of these issues would be a detriment going up against pacquiao let alone all three. if he can't get manny out of there by rd 6... it's gonna be all long hurtful night for young Alvarez. i said the same thing after the trout fight, that if he fights floyd next that he was gonna be in for a long night due to all these same issues.

What you don't seem to remember is that Canelo is a big BOXER-puncher, Pacquiao struggles with boxers (Bradley - Marquez) those guys tagged him and hurted him, Canelo is slow but once he catches Pac he's going down.

Pacquiao is a PUNCHER-boxer, yeah he's fast and very mobile, but he's not on Mayweather-Lara's defensive movement department. Canelo could get his face busted up but at the end a punch is gonna catch Pac and he's not gonna be able to take it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm highly on Pacquiao's historical career, but he wouldn't stand a chance against Alvarez.

Of course, we talking about a possible fight, but IMHO it won't happen size difference is huge, ridiculous statement from DLH, fight is nuts and won't happen.

if canelo got confused by floyd's movement, just imagine what pacquiao's awkward movements and 4 punch combo's would do to canelo.
canelo is not elite.
if canelo is elite- he could have dominated his opponents as much as floyd/manny does.

if canelo could make 152- it will be an easy fight for pacquiao.

Actual quote on which this article is based:

He wants to go and fight Miguel Cotto, he wants to fight Mayweather, he wants to fight Pacquiao. He wants to fight the top, top guys. This kid is 24 years old, he is going to be the next superstar in boxing for like the next 10 years.

Top, top journalism.

oscar is an idiot. he's trying to make canelo cotto and have a hand in mayweather pac, but this moron is meddling with both of those fights.

[fabie]

so Pac nearing his 36th BDAY to fight at 150+...with his height at 5'6"....seriously folks?!

[icha]

i will rather see cotto-canelo and floyd-pac first, then after that you can mix those four in any order.. if canelo fights pac in the future maybe a fight between 152-154 and 10 lb rehydration clause should be the only way i see this happening and still disadvantage for pacquiao... no ducking if pac doesnt want it, same goes for floyd-ggg , unless canelo or ggg move down is unfair to call it a duck...

[Dle]

Wow, Oscar and Canelo really will do anything to block the Mayweather-PAC bout on Cinco De Mayo's May date. Trying to use favor from new found friend Arum to block that date for Oscar/Canelo and save PAC in the process. Hell with the fans. These two promoters need to go away. They're ruining boxing.

[Small Turn]

If Floyd /Pacman didn't happen. Canelo vs Pacman is good at any weight.

Please Canelo, Fight GGG and stop trying to bully midgets!
