    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Canelo fought quite well in that fight and made the better power shots.

    Trout was throwing that jab all night but didnt look accurate.

    The main big weakness i see is canelos stamina. Floyd will exploit that in the later rounds.

    Floyd isn't active enough for Alvarez stamina to be an issue

    I think floyd is going to go to another level this fight, he's going to look the best we have ever seen and I think the ref stops the fight around 7 or 8 floyds going to do what he did to gatti he will completely dominate him till the ref jumps in

    I can guarantee that this won't happen. Floyd doesn't go for broke. Always plays it safe. Which is why he has to sell most of his fights with his mouth. Not going to happen.

    Floyd is guy that takes two years off and comes back like its nothing.

    Stint in prison and played with guerrero for 12 rounds.

    Stamina affects loads of good fighters inc cotto and zab judah, the fact that floyds stamina and endurance is far better than canelo is and always will be a factor in his advantage.

    If Alvarez would have pressed the lead, used the grade c blueprint of a Floyd he had in front of him and hammered Trout out, I might go there. Just can't off that fight. I see a stiff fast jab giving Alvarez shit fits and don't see him keeping Floyd still long enough for the body work.

    Exactly.

    Just think how annoying it must be fighting floyd with all the running back and forth he does and the accurate counters.

    I expected canelo to loose against trout but he handled himself very well and his face showed no sign of damage after the fight.

    Trout had the reach advantage like someone mentioned but doesnt have the defense.

    I'm not disagreeing with this assesment because in my opinion, it's spot on. But, I have to say that I've noticed Floyd spending a bit more time in one spot than he ever has. I was suprised at how many exchanges he got into with Cotto. Subtract 10 years from Cotto in those exchanges and we may have a much closer fight...not saying Cotto would have won...but much closer.

    He also knocked Trout down considering that Trout is bigger and has more reach then Floyd it makes me think that Alvarez might be able to get to him.

    Can't see it. Canelo has slow feet, doesn't have a high output and he only throws when stationary. He's never seen anything close to Floyd, who isn't Anderson Silva in fisticuffs.

    Trout isn't as good as say Lara imo, or even like a Paul Williams few years ago. He's a good boxer, but wasn't terribly hard to hit against Canelo and still ran him very very close. The knockdown aside he probably would've had that fight, and there was a WHOLE lot of room for improvement in the blueprint.

    I'm not saying Canelo is going to best Floyd, I just have a feeling that he's going to take a decision. PROBABLY a gift.

    Canelo can afford a loss at this stage.
    Floyd cant.

    Something tells me Floyd knows something we don't. Floyd doesn't take a fight unless he knows exactly what is going to happen. That's why he wouldn't fight Pac. The only thing that has me hoping that Canelo might be able to pull this off is his age. Because he's only 22, he's still learning. He may come into the ring with a whole new bag of tricks. That and possibly landing a few body shots while outweighing Floyd by 20 lbs. on fight night could be cause for a GLIMMER of hope.

    44 have tried and 45 will fail. Canelo has youth and the it factor of a future superstar but I think he will get befuddled and outboxed like everyone else. But if it is a close 1 then I think they will award Canelo with the win.
