Re: Pac vs. Canelo, anyone?
Well you might say his chin hasn't been tested against the kind of one shot KO power that big punchers throw, fair call. I think he has shown he can tolerate a great accumulation of shots though.
Yes he was thoroughly thrashed by Floyd, that's given and it was a massive disappointment. I was most disappointed. I had Mayweather to win obviously but I thought it'd be closer than that and I was hoping for an upset that never could have come.
But only slight edges in timing and accuracy can make all the difference as it clearly did, we are talking split seconds in reactions for Mayweather to beat Canelo to the punch every time and just because Floyd made Saul look stupid does not necessarily mean Manny would enjoy similar lopsided success.
Manny's strengths are his handspeed which although comparable to Floyd's is more about his rapid flurries and than well placed and perfectly timed fast shots. He has edge in power too over Floyd but again I thinkl Saul is better equipped to deal with the type of quickness Manny brings to the table rather than Floyd.
Either way I think this fight would be great scrap and would be a great win for either fighter!
