    At what weight?

    Canelo can't even make 154.

      The fight would be likely if they were both at 147, but no way Canelo will go down to 152 again and no way Pac goes up to 154.

        I agree he struggles to make weight which is why he's already in training camp. He hasn't made 154 but let's also not forget he hasn't had to. He's been the A side to Angulo and Lara so he could pretty much pick whatever weight he wanted.

        Against Pac I'd think it be a different story. I'd think a good SC coach can get him to 152-153. Heck if Chavez Jr. fat arse was able to come down to 160 for Martinez when there were rumors he ballooned to 200 lbs, I think Nelo could do it.

        And I'm aware that Pac has said he'd never fight above 147 again but it's a different story when a big money fight is being presented to you and your last 2 fights haven't been dazzling.

          True, but we are talking two cash cows here. Neither is desperate enough to compromise himself by giving in to the other's weight demands.

          I would like to see it and given the GBP/TR hugfest, it might not be impossible to make now, but the weight issue will get in the way imo.

            If that's how you beat Floyd, how come Maidana lost? And Cotto fights coming forward better than 99% of boxers on this planet. Your boxing IQ is that of a Forrest Gump level, stop posting.

              As I said with Nelo starting training early if he gets a good nutritionist he could probably make 152 fora catch weight. The guy is 24 not 34. Also with Pacquaio a bit past his prime this could make for a competitive fight.

              On the other hand we've seen Cotto vs Mayweather. It will be the same result. In fact I see Mayweather being more dominant.
              You are with Evol in that you don't know anything about boxing if you think Pac/Canelo is competitive with Canelo drained to the max and that Floyd somehow does better now. The first fight wasn't dominate it was a clear win. Cotto is better now, fact. Floyd is worse and slower now, fact. Floyd will lose that fight should they meet again, and I had Floyd winning the first fight. (Prediction and result)

                a 10lbs rehydration clause will be the key to a fight like this...

                    Forrest Gump analogy would imply that while he is slow witted he is incredibly successful despite his handicap.

                      surprised that fighters prefer catch-weights over re hydration clauses, unless you are trying to drain the other fighter...
