Interesting, Floyd is no doubt a master but his fights can be boring. He has the ability to make good fighters look like amateurs. I get what Oscar is saying, how often do we see Floyd on the attack. I think all of us, as boxing fans, appreciate what Floyd does but to me he is one of the more boring superstars I have seen. Do you think Canelo has a chance at getting Floyd. Floyd is always fighting Floyds fight, I do not know if Canelo is good enough to change Floyds game plan. It certainly will be interesting. If Canelo can get through to Floyds body Canelo may be able to defeat him. I am not holding my breath. PS-I have never seen Canelo fight a whole round either

A lot of people said the same thing about SRL - and a lot of people choke on the Haterade they drink.
Ridiculous. I do think he coasts sometimes and does only what he has to do, but 25 seconds a round?
One of Floyd's biggest assets is that he has the ability to make opponents fight at his own pace and because he can dictate the pace, he fights when he wants to and rests when he wants to.. That's what OScar is trying to say I think..
That's why Canelo has to press the issue and make him fight hard for every minute of every round and get him out of his comfort zone but he has stamina issues so I dont know how he's gonna go about that..
That's funny coming from Oscar because it's his fighter who is the one who fights for 25 seconds a round...
He "fights" as many seconds a round as he needs to win it, just as Canelo tries to do. I guess if Oscar only wants to hype his man up it's understandable, as Sauls only shot in this is to really pressure and be on the attack for the entire fight. The problem is that Floyd has the better stamina here, moves so much more and Alvarez pretty well needs to be set to throw anything.
Kinda makes Oscar sound like a simpleton. Guess maybe he should have fought 26 seconds during those rounds and maybe he would have got the nod.
The only way Canelo will win is if he throws caution to the wind and fights like hell for 3 minutes every round for the first 3 rounds, because unless he knocks Floyd out by round 4 Floyd will have worked Canelo out and punch holes through his defence like Swiss cheese, then cruise to a UD win or possible late stoppage.
The thing is Floyd only needs about 30 seconds a round to make a fool of somebody. Canelo has to be assertive and take a risk, he's not going to win a decision, he has to KO Floyd. I suspect Floyd will do his thing for 30 seconds a round while Canelo is hitting air for the rest of it.
