    Really WOW his legs and speed looked as fast as hes ever been in his last fight in fact i think floyd is going to get even better and sharper as these next 5 fights go on, because hes fighting 2 times a year and will be basically training non stop. So think about it no more fighting having long lay offs hes only going to be better and sharper hes going to destroy canelo i bet any1 he stops or makes canelo quit[/QUO

    I'm not sure which fights you were watching man. Floyds legs are most definitely not what they used to be. He's getting out of the way mostly on his upper body movement now. If you watch the Ortiz fight and the Cotto fight again, you will notice that Floyd is getting backed up against the ropes and trading shots ALOT. I'm not saying that Canelo will beat him because of this...but to say Floyds legs haven't lost anything tells me that you're REALLY HOPING he hasn't...because he has. I'm interested how these "against the ropes" spots will play out in this fight. Especially with Canelo very possibly entering the ring at 170 on fight night.
    And then again in the Guerrero fight he was moving like he was 26 years old.
    Bhop would look like a 26 year old against Guerrero. Everyone (including Guerrero) knew the outcome of that fight before the opening bell. Didn't show me anything about Floyd that I didn't already know. However his next fight will.

    I think Miguel Cotto was the toughest opponent for PBF since PBF moved above 140. Cotto won rounds, Cotto was in the fight to win it, Cotto was closer to his prime than other fighters had been AND at his natural comfortable weight (unlike Hatton who still fought valiantly).

    I don't know much about Canelo other than he's young and a bit raw
