        Well,since so many people love to argue about a and b sides canelo should take the fight at 152,and take a flat fee offer. If not,canelo is ducking Pacquiao,right guys?

          ha i dont understand why people think that canelo will destroy pacman, im a boxing fan not a fan of certain fighters and the pacman only strugles with high top class counter punchers who can move well, i love him to fight fight canelo and if they did fight i d lump big money on pac man to win in the first six round , i think he will absolutely anilate canelo , canelo is well overrated, the reason pacman hasnt koed people lately he faught guys that move very well and the flat footed ones he faught in recent years is rios and margorito and corect me if im wrong but he absolutely destroyed them and ended there careers at the highest level cause is he only does that well with flat footed fighters, love this fight really hope it happens big money on pacman if it does

            Wish they would just make the fight for May and Put GGG against a middleweight contender on the undercard. I think Pac has a chance against Canelo at 154.Speed , lots of angles, bust up Canelo .

              and if you didn't see the thread about bob saying it was just a joke when he made that statement about ggg and manny fighting.
              Think about that one for a minute. They want to talk about Pacquiao v Alvarez like it's a real possibility, yet the thought of Manny getting in the ring with Gennady is "just a joke", and Bob was "NEVER serious".

              Just goes to show you what Top Rank thinks about the differences between Canelo and GGG.

                154, 10 pound catchweight, Pacman might have a shot.

                  fight will never happen. roach can say what he wants but manny has already confirm that 150 was too much for him and I doubt canelo will ever make 150 LOL.

                    Canelo is not going to drain himself to get below 154. The fight is not going to happen, but if it did Canelo wins this one. Manny can't hurt him and Canelo is smart enough and quick enough to time Manny. While nowhere near GGG's level, Alvarez is a tough customer and a sharp boxer. People keep underestimating him. He has more than enough to deal with Pacquiao. I see another Marquez type "lights out" knockout if they do fight.

                      JMM isn't a "mover".

                      He did not end Marg's career, Shane did. He did not end Rios' career as Rios was a one trick 135 pound size advantage having pony..who lost to Alvarado... and was thoroughly exposed by Abril.

                      You REALLY believe Pac would stop Canelo? Do you not watch boxing? Canelo is a top tier counter puncher with impressive handspeed (handspeed wise Pac has only fought a couple faster and lost to each).. He's one of the best counter punchers the entire sport..a combination throwing counter puncher at that. Last time Pac fought one of those he got put to sleep. Now add the size advantage and...no offense but what you say is borderline ******ed.


                      Pacquiao isnt stopping anyone post 147 because honestly..while being a hard puncher he just isnt as big a puncher as given credit for with dudes of his size. Lighter weights were different and Pac was a monster but that's not the case with the chins at 47.

                      Stop showing so much bias man... Canelo would walk Pac down and put him to sleep and counter in between. Look at the Khan fight. It'd look similar except Canelo wouldnt outbox him the entire time... I dont doubt Pac would make Canelo look bad for a few rounds in the beginning but the beatdown would just be a matter of time with Canelo digging body shots and landing his jab and right off counters. Pac isnt proficient enough defensively to pull a Floyd and Canelo is good against left handers to top it off. Even if they were roughly the same size I'm not sure I'd like Canelo as a matchup for Pac..especially at this stage. But Canelo is a combination of just too good and too big for Pac. Canelo is just too good to have such a size advantage over someone. A great little man beats a good big man but a great little man doesnt beat a great big man... Too young, too strong, too big, too good. Maybe James Kirkland or something...but Canelo? Sorry man...the Pac superman myth never took hold of me like it did for some. Absolutely love him but I live in the real world lol. Not Amir Khan/David Haye world
