Floyd vs Alvarez, going to be shades of Martinez vs Chavez Jr.?

[Johnwoo8686]

Guerrero and Cotto won 3 rounds against Mayweather. Canelo is 2 inches taller and has 3½ inches more reach than Cotto and is fresher too. Canelo is just an all-round better fighter than Guerrero, and has a slight height and reach advantage over him too.

Based on this, I expect Canelo to win about 5 rounds. He might even pull off the upset.

Canelo is only an inch taller than Cotto, he and Floyd are basically the same height as you can see from the photos. Showtime had Canelo standing at 5'7 1/2 not the 5'9 that boxrec has him at.

And to the OP, No this fight won't look like Chavez jr. vs Martinez. Chavez overlooked Martinez and Canelo is an all around better boxer than Chavez. However, Floyd is fresher and a better boxer than Martinez so it is possible we could see a dominating performance. But I don't expect that, I expect a competitive fight where Floyd wins a close but clear decision.

I see 8 rounds to 4 for Floyd. I think late in the fight Canelo will get frustrated and stop throwing. I would love to see Floyd open up more and look for the KO.

Floyd "Hardwork Dedication...oh and catchweights" Mayweather will of course be in supreme physical condition for this fight. As always.

His goal will be to keep it even while simultaneously making Saul work harder than he wants to.

After 6 or 7 rounds (maybe less if Floyd goes to the body alot) Canelo will gas and then PBF (oh and catchweights) will start lighting him up pretty much at will.

However, ever mindful of risk, Money (oh and catchweights too) will fail to press his advantage and Alvarez will see the final bell but lose a wide UD.

On the other hand, Canelo is skilled and strong and confident.

If he magically develops great stamina to go along with it, despite having to cut an extra couple of pounds, then I can see him being a legit threat to Floyd & catchweights.

But imo, that's a pretty big if.

I think Canelo will win, it might be a struggle though, Floyd is no push-over, I always thought Trout was a great boxer and see what Canelo did to him, Trout = last 3 Floyd opps.

This is a 50/50 fight, a toss up

i could see this...i dont think canelo will wait so late as cesar jr did though... he'll get outboxed at least 5-6, then let the trigger go whammer hammer..

He won't have to. Gasnelo doesn't apply that level of pressure

What's interesting is how will Alvarez react when Floyd hits him in the body causing him to gas

Exactly, what I'm confused by is why people think Canelo is some big come forward pressure fighter....he's not and he gasses easy enough as it is.... if he tries to turn into one for this fight it'll be bad bad news.

In other words, domination of the young Mexicans taking their first real real step up in class. Not comparing Alvarez to Chavez or Floyd to Sergio, but in terms of how the match plays out.

What I'm saying is, does anyone else think Floyd will have a relatively easy time with Canelo unless the young one shows something brand spankin' new come fight night?

I think your going to be surprised

At least somebody gets it. They swear size alone is good enough to pressure a fighter...

If Canelo doesn't somehow upgrade his stamina he will be getting his ass tore up. ALL. NIGHT. LONG.
