Does anyone really think Canelo has a chance?

[GGBoxer]

Canelo is slow and flatfooted. Mayweather will easly pick him apart.

I dont get all the hype arround Canelo

He has a puncher's chance and could follow it up with life threatening combos.

Canelo is not a pressure fighter. But it's instinctive to become one against a potshotting style. Getting potshotted is insulting, irritating and embarrassing. Hatton spent most of his time chasing Floyd. He wanted to get even and KO him. Had he stayed in the middle of the ring, he would have been KOed early.

Pressure fighting is the only option in beating boxers with styles like Floyd. There's no other way. With proper conditioning, pressure should start from the moment punches are exchanged and should be non stop. He has six rounds to do it before stamina issues pop up.

Like Joe said a punchers chance. But he was only able to hit Trout with one shot to knock him down and Trout is no Mayweather. I don't think Floyd will have any problem evading big punches from Canelo

[boliodogs]

Yes, lots of fight fans and experts think he has a chance. I put a large bet down on him so I think he not only has a chance but will win. The fight is sold out. Do you think that is because all these people want to see a fight when they already know who will win it? The Las Vegas odds on this fight are only 2 to 1 in Floyd's favor instead of the 7 to 1 favorite Mayweather usually is. If Mayweather was as sure a thing as you say he should be a 20 to 1 favorite. Hell yes Canelo has a chance to win and a damn good one.

Slow? What?

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

I don't think he has anything other than a punchers chance, and even that's not much of a chance against one of the greatest defensive fighters that's ever lived. Canelo is too green, but why not fight Mayweather when so much money is there to be made?

[Jloro]

Thats what I have been saying lol.
All of his Country got behind him hyping him up for it to be UD for Mayweather (maybe even stop Canelo) and then we will see Canelo fade away like he wasn't just said to be the new face of boxing lol

[Gatling]

This is what bugs me whenever Mayweather or a top fighter signs a fight that fans think they won't. But Floyd is probably the best case of it. It happened with Castillo rematch, Mosley, Cotto, Guerero. Even Baldomir!

It's either a pre-emptive "Oh, hes gonna duck!" then when he signs it's "Oh, fighter B has no chance anyways"

Just enjoy the fight night.

I do... He's young, has more experience then Ortiz, adjusts very well, can use his size to an advantage, isn't only offensive minded, and packs a punch...

Now I'm still putting my money on Mayweather, but I wouldn't be surprised if Canelo wins

The only reasonable example you had on that list was Castillo (and that was only because so many people thought floyd lost the first fight and it was before he was a superstar). The other people on the list would have been good examples (except baldomir...come on man) but for when he chose to fight them. Mayweather openly dismissed shane mosley as washed up with "the shane mosley with 5 losses on his record...that shane mosley" when he chose to fight JMM (which was a reasonable choice I'll give him). Then you wonder why we say "why are you fighting shane mosley, he's washed up"?

He didn't want anything to do with Miguel Cotto in 2008 (a year in which he didn't fight at all) but in 2012 after it was quite obvious to everyone in the world that he could barely win fights against Joshua Clottey and Juri Foreman and he had been crushed by margarito and pacquiao you wanna say Flloyd was brave for fighting Cotto instead of Pacquiao? Next he beats the crap out of a guy who was fighting at junior lightweight 4 fights ago and KO's victor Ortiz in a display of the utmost boxing skill and sportsmanly poise. Floyd could very well still be undefeated if he would have taken the fights with those guys when they were hard but he didn't so it will always be a matter of dispute and that is floyds fault.
