    I keep envisioning Jacobs lading a huge right hand on Canelo and dropping him... Don't know why.

Floyd is old in boxing years, so if it isn't his skills them what exactly is it?
      Pacquiao would beat Canelo just as decisively. Prime Martinez would humiliate Canelo, Thurman could arguably beat Canelo.

      Canelo isn't this beast you want him to be (to make Floyd look better)

      Down the years that win over Canelo is gonna look very overrated.

          I think he is a hell of a fighter and he is only just turning 24. He is very serious and dedicated to becoming the best boxer he can be. I think he can beat anybody who fights at 154 or 160 except GGG. GGG would knock him out just as he knocked out the last 17 guys he fought. I think Canelo has learned enough and Mayweather has slipped enough that Canelo could reverse the Mayweather loss if Canelo can fight at 154 instead of 152. I don't think Canelo will duck GGG. He said he would fight him. I hope he never fights GGG because a KO loss never does a fighter any g

            You should put an I think or in my opinion in front of all that. Nobody knows how future fights will end until they happen. It could just as easily be Canelo who beats Pacquiao decisively, humiliates a prime Martinez and knocks out Thurman. Why do you think everyone who ranks fighters, Ring, Boxing Scene, Boxrec and all the rest rank Canelo as the best Jr. Middleweight in the world? Are they all ****** and the only smart one is you?

              Yes, I definitely think Canelo is the real deal. I think the Lara decision was suspect but I like canelos strategy. He couldn't outbox Lara but he found away to land to the body and had Lara retreating. That made the fight close, so no one could really argue with the decision. I like Canelo as one of the faces of the future.

                Well that's dumb, Canelo's been fighting at Middleweight for the last 2 years. He'll never fight at 154 again, he can't make the weight.

                    He hasn't fought at jr middleweight for 2 years, he'll never fight there again. He can't make the weight. He's a Middleweight.

                      This


                      He's solid guy at 154 to 160 but isn't no daddy Chavez nor is he Marquez Morales and Barerra caliber .
