Why Canelo will lose....

[IamInuit]

I have a feeling they will be wearing 8 oz gloves instead of 10.

Alvarez's problem is that he has to set to shoot and has cement blocks for feet. Unless he can trap Floyd and overwhelm him with his size he's doomed and may even look one dimensional.

Btw I saw some earlier reports at boxrec this morning that Garcia/Lucas will be on the undercard and Mares. It came down almost as fast as it went up. Outstanding if it comes to fruition.

You guys make perfect sense. All of your Canelo critiques are accurate. I don't know if he has the ring IQ to pull this off. It does make me dislike Mayweather less. Canelo is still on the way up, but it may be more of a challenge to Floyd especially after the Ghost debacle. I think Canelo showed he is not one dimensional in his last fight. I don't think Floyd is remembers what it is like to get hit hard. Cotto got in a few good rounds but I think Canelo will shake things up more IF he can get through. This could be a good one. Might even be worth the PPV.

i think its a great fight as well, the ghost in m humble opnion was a tune up fight , hes gonna follow the blue print of one easy fight, and one hard fight till he reches the end, its almost like fighting one time a year cuz guerrero was a tough sparring match for him at best

because he's fighting Mayweather

I'm sure Floyd and Sr have looked at the Trout fight which confirmed what they already knew. Alvarez has to plant his feet to get anything off. Its simply a perfect fight for Floyd. He will use his aging legs for the first half of the fight countering and landing perfect lead rights, many of the short hook variety every time Alvarez is planting to throw a shot. I think he may cruise over the last 4 or 5 rounds.

In fairness to Alvarez he could be catching Floyd at a perfect time. His youth and sheer will could be key. If he can get to Floyds body who knows. It would be even better for him if he gets an 18 foot ring. I'm sure people thought Lamotta was to crude for Robinson in their second go. Lamotta actually out jabbed Ray. Now I don't see that happening here and unfortunately for Alvarez he kinda has to go for the knock out or at least not wait for it to come.

If this kid uses his jab and out muscles Floyd on the inside then it will be a long night for Money. He should use the Cotto strategy but with more movement after he throws combinations and not let Floyd get into his comfort zone.

i honestly think with canelo's youth and natural size advantage he's got a fair shot at upsetting floyd. the boy has a good chin and decent defense and i can see him being able to counter and land significant shots every once in awhile that could hurt floyd and change the pulse of the fight. my concern is alvarez's stamina as seen from the trout fight where he slowed down midfight. so asking for a catchweight is significant. that 2 lbs will make a difference in the later rounds and team mayweather knows this, that's why they asked for it. they want every advantage that they can get. if i were saul i'd come in at 154lbs and just pay the fine.
