Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Canelo Wasn't Ready For Mayweather in '13

[richardt]

Eh, not exactly apples to apples. Canelo was only 23 when he fought Floyd. Doesn't really matter how many 'official' fights you had.. he was still green.
You have Rigo, who has only 15 pro fights but he's 35.

Doesn't change the fact that Oscar is a master of changing his story after the fact. Can't believe a word he says.

Bad comparison. Rigo had a decorated AM background as one of the 3 best AM's or higher of all time. Canelo was not green, not by a stretch and had 43 fights and turned pro by the age of 16!! Mayweather was clearly past his prime and defeated Canelo who many experts picked to win that fight. Many fighters have won titles before they were 23. The bullsht about being green is nothing but a myth, especially considering Mayweather's age.

Still not ready for him in 2015. I'm mean really, what areas have Canelo improved in?

[HarvardBlue]

Don't forget Oscar told us Victor Ortiz would win 'cause he was young and Floyd was old. I'm waiting on his confession that he was wrong on that one too.

[lets rumble]

How would Oscar know ....
He co promoted the fight and didn't attend because he went to rehab fight week

He is a very good fighter,but Floyd is just a different animal..he will find any small thing you do wrong and expose it...and Canelo's biggest flaw to beat a fighter like Floyd is his feet are like cement..Canelo had some success because he has fast feet and i think this will show again in this fight with Canelo. To beat Cotto you have to either have fast feet or be a pressure fighter tough enough to walk thru his assault and Canelo does not fit either of those molds

Smh Oscar he wasn't ready I know he wasn't ready..you gave him the blueprint. ..uou didn't show up all of a sudden your in rehab...he loss 11 rounds to 1 and one judge had it a draw did you know anything about the judge...

Floyd's style makes fighters like Canelo look bad. He's not the type to beat Floyd. Volume, speed and the ability to adapt. Canelo has one of these things.

[hugh grant]

Floyd never fights people at their best, with the exception of Catillo and coincidently gave Floyd his closest fight.

If he fought Canelo again, this time flloyd shouldn't not ask for a CW, and go for a middleweight title against Canelo, or I suppose Miguel. Miguel now is better than the one Floyd fought as well.
