    On paper, sure yeh. But in accomplishment and adversity faced hell no. Alvarez hasn't faced the trials & tribulations, been scuffed up and had to battle back to frankly know how tough he can be at this level. Trout was a swap meet version Mayweather and a canvas to paint on late and Alvarez let up. He cannnot box and admire his work with Floyd.

    I like that, and it's very true. Trout more than held his own until being knocked down, and without really doing anything terribly clever imo. He was just slighter of foot and had a better jab than Alvarez was used to. I'm sure Floyd watched that fight carefully and decided this was actually a pretty safe bet.

    He might run a big risk of being stuck between styles when Floyd starts bouncing jabs and sharp counters off his head. He better have his lunch packed and stick with one identity.

    Exactly, it's very possible he just isn't mentally ready for the fight regardless of what he's capable of. You can't go into a fight with Mayweather expecting to reinvent yourself, and regardless of what he plans to do I think his feet are just to slow to boot.

    Oh yeah, Saul Alvarez will KO Mayweather in about 7 rds.

    I do expect a postponement from Mayweather till a slightly later date.

    Whether the fight happens as scheduled or a little farther down the line, Floyd won't see the final bell against Alvarez...

    Canelo isn't fighting Josesito Lopez in September, he's fighting a guy who's the best defensive fighter in the game and who's been dropped only once in his career, and unlike someone else who was p4p top 2 this time of the year last year, when he got dropped he stood right back up and didn't become one of the most used Meme's on the internet, just saying logic before emotions bud
