Or ready in 2015. I remember a direct quote from Canelo: "WE didn't know he was going to be that fast." Floyd was 36. It doesn't matter. Oscar was SUCH a great champ and treat to the sport. All he's done in the past few years is ruin his legacy with these sad pot shots at boxers who fared better than him.Comment

Aside from winning the fights, you can always count on two things whenever Floyd Mayweather steps into the ring: he will always have the full backing of Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer, while Oscar de la Hoya will always pick him to lose, no matter the opponent. Such has been the case for every one of Mayweather’s fights dating back to when Golden Boy became the lead promoter for his events, dating back to his explosive 10th round knockout win over Ricky Hatton in Dec. ’07. Since then, de la Hoya has been publicly let down by the likes of Juan Manuel Marquez, Shane Mosley, Victor Ortiz, Miguel Cotto and most recently Robert Guerrero.
Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya once again expressed the opinion that WBC/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-0-1, 30KOs) will be faster and in much better shape for Floyd Mayweather Jr. - because of the agreed upon catch-weight of 152-pounds. The fight is scheduled for September 14th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Totally agree.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 moldsComment

if canelo was truly good he would of won without leaving any doubtCanelo is as good as Cotto and Lara, and better than Trout and most other fighters at 154-160. Only fighter I see beating Canelo from 154-160 is anyone who has physical advantages over him like GGG and is just as skilled as Canelo. GGG is like a talleR and longer version of Canelo, that's why he'd beat him. He also has the edge in weight, Canelo rehydration is not exactly as healthy as Golovkin's who is more muscle mass over years of training as a MW rather than overnight water weight. Canelo is the goods, Trout and Lara were supposed to expose him, people have different opinions of those fights, and different scorecards. But the truth is Trout and Lara both lost either because of their own fault or fear of getting hurt by Canelo, or just Canelo edged them himself.Comment

Still lying like a coward I see... smh...Actually it boils down to the Peds jr has been using over the years!! I thought Wow look how fast and quick with a peculiar skin tone one of a user against Canelo and PAC as well.
The best way for Jr to be ahead in the PED game is to pretend to vehemently be against them. It didn't hurt to back it up with lots of money either
It's sad that the fight has come and gone and POS posters like above still exist on this page...Comment
