Comments Thread For: Marquez: Canelo Too Big For Pacquiao - But I'd Watch The Fight

I agree with Juanita Manuelita.

Funny how Cotto was on the run against a guy coming off a brutal demolition loss, with one good eye.

I call that eye KARMA! Didn't figure you would ACTUALLY be OK with a guy loading his gloves up??? Guess I was wrong.

Pac follows floyd's plan or works w/ him he will win..4 speed his,strength & resistence...alvarez doesn't have the shot 2 take pac out as JMM & pac won't go cuerpo a cuerpo

Manny can't and will never be able to fight like Floyd. Floyd is a once in a generation defensive fighter who is near impossible to hit. Manny is extremely hit-able with weak defense. His defense is his offense. He's an aggressive come first type fighter and against a counterpuncher and one as big as Canelo he will get put to sleep.

While we're at it why don't we go for Fury?

Canelo has a stylistic advantage over pac. Not being an old, one dimentional, come forward fighter n all. Canelo's defensive instincts and handspeed are too good while having that much of a size advantage. Pac has none of the skills Mayweather has... No version of Pac would have ever beaten this version of Canelo. Pacquiao was in anguish from a non plaster Margarito with zero power or actual skill. Canelo would quite literally walk through Pacquiao and Marquez him. I love Pac as much as the next guy but this is pure delusions and denial speaking. If you said Angulo or someone that limited I'd say sure but a young guy (doesnt need the footspeed vs Pac as Pac will need to come to him..), with a lot of handspeed, counter punching ability and some defense with a 20 pound advantage? Keep dreaming. Mayweather aside there isn't a 147 pounder alive who beats Canelo. Floyd's skill set is such that it doesnt matter how big or strong you are because he can keep you from hitting him. Pac WILL be hit. Often. Are people actually serious? Pac has to get inside on the bigger Canelo which is the last place on earth he should be. Pac does well against the slow, "typical" type of Mexican fighter (the bam bams and Margaritos or even Hatton)) who mindlessly come forward with no game plan or hand or foot speed. We've seen when Manny fights smaller counter punchers...he tends to lose. Manny isn't some prolific fighter off the back foot. Anytime anyone makes him retreat he looks lost. Marquez, Morales, even Mayweather all had the ability to back Pacquiao up and could use his agresssion against him. Manny is stylistically a good matchup IF Canelo were his size. It's good until it isnt...and size makes it go from "totally..Pac will take his ass he has an edge in speed, power, durability and output" to "..Pac should throw as little punches as possible as Canelo will find him from ALL ranges and Pac cannot hurt Canelo..actually isnt Canelo just WAY too skilled to have such a size advantage over someone? Is this even going to get sanctioned? Im worried about Pacquiao..." A 25 year old middleweight champion isnt losing to Pac. Neither is GGG...neither is Jacobs...

Floyd is more one dimensional than pac tbh.

That because the MW Divison SUKS Donkey Dic right now. Outside of GGG there are ZERO PPV worthy guys at MW.

No one is going to buy Lemuix vs. Canelo, or Colonel Saunders vs. Canelo.

And I'm sure Canelo doesn't want ANY of GGG' "Life Altering" 1.5 million money.

Between his PPV Flop and his HUGE offer to Saunders that wasn't even CLOSE to what was offered you would have to be a RTARD to believe ANYTHING Loeffler or Sanchez says!!! They've got caught lying soo many times they make Bob "Yesterday I was lying, but today I'm telling the truth" Arum look Honest.

They never said the amount, and 1.5 million is life altering money. But that's what Suanders said he was offered, so of course you eat it up. Can't imagine why.

But all that matters is that fake MW champ Canelo gonna grow a pair or suck on the 147 pounders until fans finally realize he's garbage.

On second thought manny shouldn't take this fight.

The judges would make sure he doesn't get a decision.

[GOD-FR33]

What?

i think manny would try to outbox ginger. But canelo would eventually catch up too him. conelo is flat footed but pacquiao doesnt have lara footwork. I just hope Manny retires. I doubt anyone could break his 8 division record, he doesnt need 9

Doesn't have Lara's footwork??? What footwork? Running. LoL. Manny has some of the best legs in boxing history, FACT! Manny, Ali, SRL, Holyfield, and Oscar had amazing footwork. Furthermore, his foot speed is maybe the best in history also. It's the pure size of Canelo is why the fight will not happen. Weight classes are in place for a reason. Besides, Canelo is too smart to be drained again and Manny doesn't have anything left to prove in boxing, even though he can still fight and fight well. Let these young guns duke it out and go relax. I wouldn't even fight Floyd again if I was Manny. why? Because he already exposed him and look at how he was sabotaged for it. I never seen a champion treated that way before.

[bojangles1987]

I'd watch. I think Pac loses, but he might clown Alvarez. Unlike Khan, he has the type of effective speed and skill to possibly make up the size difference.
