Comments Thread For: Canelo Would Love To Get Chance To Face Manny Pacquiao

[Class Act]

After Floyd demolished Manny on May2. Canelo can fight Pacman on November.

canelo and marquez is nothing alike.

if anything canelo is more similar to young cotto's style (just bigger, stronger and hopefully tougher)

decent skills, good power, not fast but not slow, very good when going forward and breaking ppl down.

That's just not true at all...when did you start watching Canelo? He's a natural counter puncher and is at his best with people coming to him i.e Angulo....

Canelo is not even a big body puncher naturally and has a much better right hand than Cotto, not to mention is actually right handed.

When has Canelo gone forward and broke someone down? Lara? Trout? Floyd? or do we have to bring up a JWW in Lopez?

only saw canelo when he started fighting in us.

do you think counterpunching should be his game?

cotto was a solid boxer/counterpuncher too. but at his best on the offense, breaking ppl down.

just because he counterpunches doesn't mean his style is like jmm.

Nothing slow about the way Canelo punches ...

hmmm....

that's weird.

everyone sees canelo differently.

mak thinks he throws slow, you think he's a fast puncher.

the other guy thinks canelo is a counterpuncher, i think canelo should be offensive.

Canelo would retire Pacquiao at this point in their careers. Manny was just looking at going down to 140 though, so I can't see it happening.

Canelo is a mack truck and Manny is a Porsche. Canelo is just too big for him. Didn't Pac say after Margarito that even though he won -- Margarito was just way too big for him and that he'd never fight anywhere near LMW again? I mean he's been talking about even dropping to 140.

Canelo is just a weight class too big.

[Jsmooth9876]

This is a viable fight for Manny win or lose against Floyd.
I don't think he'll fight at 154 though and I don't see Canelo coming down to 152 again.

As the article clearly says: weight is the issue. They are in different weight classes now. A couple of years ago it was possible but not anymore. Canelo is still maturing and is getting bigger and bigger. There's no catch weight that works for both fighters. Ever.

This fat bytch Canelo wants to fight Manny but won't fight a Middleweight.

[Biolink]

slow punchers with stamina issues aren't a good combo vs PAC

Canelo may be a lot of things but the man has some pretty quick/explosive hands. It's just that he has cement feet and needs to be planted.

Or are you calling him slow and I'm reading it wrong
