Can't see it. Canelo has slow feet, doesn't have a high output and he only throws when stationary. He's never seen anything close to Floyd, who isn't Anderson Silva in fisticuffs.
Trout isn't as good as say Lara imo, or even like a Paul Williams few years ago. He's a good boxer, but wasn't terribly hard to hit against Canelo and still ran him very very close. The knockdown aside he probably would've had that fight, and there was a WHOLE lot of room for improvement in the blueprint.
I'm not saying Canelo is going to best Floyd, I just have a feeling that he's going to take a decision. PROBABLY a gift.
Canelo can afford a loss at this stage.
Floyd cant.
Something tells me Floyd knows something we don't. Floyd doesn't take a fight unless he knows exactly what is going to happen. That's why he wouldn't fight Pac. The only thing that has me hoping that Canelo might be able to pull this off is his age. Because he's only 22, he's still learning. He may come into the ring with a whole new bag of tricks. That and possibly landing a few body shots while outweighing Floyd by 20 lbs. on fight night could be cause for a GLIMMER of hope.
Floyd isn't active enough for Alvarez stamina to be an issueQuote:

The main big weakness i see is canelos stamina. Floyd will exploit that in the later rounds.
I think floyd is going to go to another level this fight, he's going to look the best we have ever seen and I think the ref stops the fight around 7 or 8 floyds going to do what he did to gatti he will completely dominate him till the ref jumps in
I can guarantee that this won't happen. Floyd doesn't go for broke. Always plays it safe. Which is why he has to sell most of his fights with his mouth. Not going to happen.Quote:

I'm new to this forum so I'm gonna make sure my first post is a prediction thats gonna come true.. Floyd won't lose, I think Canelo will be a top fighter in the future and maybe thats part of the appeal for Floyd in terms of starting to think about his legacy. A win against Canelo will mean more in 10 years when Canelo's the best than it does now.
Floyd is guy that takes two years off and comes back like its nothing.Quote:

Stint in prison and played with guerrero for 12 rounds.
Stamina affects loads of good fighters inc cotto and zab judah, the fact that floyds stamina and endurance is far better than canelo is and always will be a factor in his advantage.
If Alvarez would have pressed the lead, used the grade c blueprint of a Floyd he had in front of him and hammered Trout out, I might go there. Just can't off that fight. I see a stiff fast jab giving Alvarez shit fits and don't see him keeping Floyd still long enough for the body work.
Exactly.Quote:

I expected canelo to loose against trout but he handled himself very well and his face showed no sign of damage after the fight.
Trout had the reach advantage like someone mentioned but doesnt have the defense.
True, But Canelo knocked down Trout. and Trut whipped Cotto's ass three ways on Wednesday while May struggled with him. This same logic could lead one to believe Pac would smash May, But then again May out pointed Mannys biggest antagonist. It all depends on how the styles match up.......Just like the Frazier, Foreman and Ali debacle.Quote:

im going to have fun on september 15th. you guys forget cotto came in outta shape for trout, also forget trouth may have not been at his best for canelo, and maybe a little intimidated by his power, you also forget that trouth is taller and bigger than cotto, and you also forget that while trout is a solid fighter, to say he is better than cotto is crazy, and to say he is anything like mayweather is crazy, if anything as competitive as trout canelo was, it makes me realize canelo wont touch him. Even little jesesito hung in there for a couple rounds, which is crazy with a guy as big as canelo, his fight against shane was much less impressive than mayweather, and it was at 154!!! Outside of the obvious things, i think some of you are just overlooking the intangibles ...which usually plays the bigger part. on paper canelo wins this fight, but boxing isnt won on paper.
If Canelo fights his ass off, it could turn out like OScar-Sweet Pea
