Canelo Alvarez credentials?

[Hulk]

Aside from the Trout victory, which was a very good win, Alavarez does not have a deep resume.

He is a thinker in there and picks his punches.

He's not going to outthink Floyd.

I do think Alvarez has deceptive power and Mosley is not being 100% honest about Floyd's power being equal to Canelo's.

IF Alvarez can land a good clean shot on Mayweather, then maybe he can follow up and get the upset.

Credentials?

Well, according to an unnamed source, Canelo allowed Mosley to live.
That's pretty damn impressive.

Loooool

Thats the violent one.

[beenKOed]

This fight will go just like all of Floyd's other fights. Floyd will look at him for a couple of rounds and then start picking him apart, I don't see why he would change this pattern.
Canelo will be applying cautious aggression for the first round or so and then try to step it up from the third or so.
I think Floyd is as good as he will ever be, not everyone is a Floyd Mayweather but on the other hand not everyone is a Bernard Hopkins, so I see Floyd slowing a little every fight from now on. Floyd is an amazing fighter, athlete, with an amazing boxing IQ and is as dedicated a gym rat as you'll see. Did I say Floyd is amazing? but everyone has to deal with age, it could be this fight or a couple of fights from now.
Canelo's biggest chance is Nacho Beristain. If there is a fault in Floyd's boxing, Nacho is one who can see it.
I don't think Floyd has any faults in the ring, he is poised, always in position, doesn't make big mistakes and does not lose concentration.
Unless Nacho has something up his sleeve, it's going to be up to Floyd whether Floyd wins or not, in my opinion.

Spot on.

Floyd cant escape from the age issue but unlike holyfield, jones or mosely they never had the defence that floyd or hopkins had.

Factor that in with floyds ability to not take much punishment he could go on to his early forties..who knows?!

It must be so hard for him to call it a day as the millions he gets for every fight he just wont get that anywhere else!

I'd be tempted to say that this is incorrect, and that very early in the fight, as Mayweather opts to adjust on the fly, he isn't operating at 100%.



That is Canelos best and probably only shot at beating Floyd, catching him out very early and stopping him. How likely that is of happening though is very low IMO as Floyd will probably be super cautious for the first few roundsnot allowing Canelo to get close at all, and probably for the entire fight.

The 2nd right hand is the one that buckled him and hurt him more. Either way he wasn't caught due to lack of concentration. Mosley just set him up. A quick jab that got Mayweather's attention and than the followed up right that Floyd never saw coming

[erics44]

alverez is fast, he has a good chin, he hits hard

he is also bigger than floyd

perhaps if he can be patient and take a reasonable amount of punishment and wait to land a/the big shots he can knock him out

i dont see it happening but i think he has a better chance of beating floyd than anyone in recent memory

[Rantcatrat]

Canelo's best,and only great win, is over Trout. VD makes a good point though. He is only 22. It's crazy to think that he is fighting the best fighter in the world at 22. It's almost like Tyson. Even if he loses, he has 10 years of prime ahead of him. In fact, there's an argument he's not yet even in his prime?

True.
But not everyones prime lasts that long.
Canelo might loose every fight after this and call it a day.
A loss this young might ruin or define him.

He could be a Vargas though.

How do you think Trout would do against Floyd? Just curious.

Surely that has to be related to his concentration though, as he never got caught with that shot again. anyway, all my point demonstrates is that Mayweather isn't fully switched on to his opponent until he figures them out due to concentration or not and adjusts, which is normally a couple of rounds, 4 max...

It could. But it can also just simply be, Mosley threw a good one, two combination.
