Duran told Nacion the proper stategy that he would use if he was going up against Mayweather, stating that most fighters make a huge error by always trying to land shots on Canelo's head.

"If I was going up against a boxer like that, I would bust him up. I would bust him all over the place...the arms, the ribs. The first thing you have to do is forget about the head. The head is smaller than the body. You have to break a man down, and in order to do so you're going to hit him in the kidneys and he'll slowly begin to stop [his movement] and after four rounds he will no longer be able to walk," Duran said.



Yep, he's exactly right... I always thought this was the only way to fight Floyd.
indeed hes correct, except everytime anyone throws a left hook to the body at floyd, they get caught with a straight right down the pipe or an uppercut, it sounds like a great plan though, if canelo can eat a couple rights, he can make the fight really interesting, but floyd even without head movement fights great in the pocket and in the center of the ring. i personally, am super excited and just a tad worried as a floyd fan. Floyd hasnt looked great at 154, dunno what 152 will look like, and canelo is a very durable guy or so it seems, with good skill, power, and speed. Still all that though, i say floyd wins unless he hurts his hand bad early, he cant afford to get hurt against this guy. He needs both hands to take him into deep waters.
